Review of Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 (1987) by Sean L — 10 Sep 2011
Absolutely hilarious in a "did these people actually watch this when they declared it complete" kind of way. With worse acting than Troll 2, a plot so derivative that half its run time is footage from the original, a series of gratuitous rape scenes and buckets of bloodshed, this is precisely the kind of movie I'd have been looking for at 3AM on Cinemax during my adolescence.
Lead actor Eric Freeman utters nothing but awful catchphrases from start to finish, delivered with the kind of wild-eyed sincerity that left me wondering how blurry the line between fact and fiction really was for the filmmakers.
In comparison to Freeman's scene-stealing ineptitude, the rest of the cast fades helplessly into the wallpaper - and that's probably for the best. What this ultimately boils down to is about fifteen minutes of uproariously funny bad cinema, padded to a ninety minute ultimate runtime with ruthless disregard for relevance or entertainment value.
Needs to be trimmed down to a highlight reel before it's truly watchable.
