Review of Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 (1987) by Asha M — 01 Oct 2007
Wow. I might live the rest of my life and never see a performance as over-the-top as the one Eric Freeman gives in this film. He is so bad that his performance alone almost makes this film worth seeing! It reaches a kind of bad zenith, an imitation of human life so horribly rendered that it achieves an almost grand state.
What I mean is this: he's sooo bad that he's absolutely brilliant. And the performance is the ONLY reason to see this film. The first forty minutes consist almost entirely of flashbacks to the original "Silent Night, Deadly Night" while Freeman, as Ricky (brother of the killer in the first flick) relates his unhappy childhood to a head shrinker (James Newman -- also bad but not in a good way.
) Once we see Ricky really freaking out and get to the new footage, it gets better but, really, forty minutes of flashbacks?! What were they thinking?! For fans of extraordinarily bad acting only...
