Review of Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 (1987) by Kevin M — 24 Feb 2008
Unintentionally hilarious masterpiece. Look up "garbage day" on YouTube and you will see one of the cheesiest kill scenes of all time. Too bad it happens to be part of this slipshod sequel comprised of 30%-40% reused footage from "Silent Night, Deadly Night" part one.
Between these two films, the single shot of the dead father falling out of the car must have been repeated at least EIGHT TIMES. The other 50% of the film consists of Eric Freeman playing Ricky, Billy's little brother, in one of the worst performances of all time.
He acts more with his eyebrows than any other part of his body. Somehow he has perfect recall of events he witnessed as a baby, as well as things he never even saw. The theatre scene, where he watches "Silent Night, Deadly Night" (!) after dealing with rude cinemagoers, along with the climactic rampage through the neighborhood, are classic sequences of trash cinema.
So don't expect SN, DN 2 to be scary, by any means.
