Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Foreverisacastironmess So Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2 takes place years after the first movie, again on Christmas Eve, and Billy's little brother Ricky has grown up and is spending his Christmas Eve in a mental hospital awaiting trial following a murder spree, and a psychiatrist with apparently no family to spend the holiday with, gets Ricky to remember basically every single thing that ever happened in his life, including things he couldn't even possibly ever be able to remember but we're getting to that! The flick really cheats its audience and it does so in a huge movie-crippling way, and that is because they actually and completely shamelessly spend a good solid forty minutes of the running time going through every notable part of the first movie via expanded flashback sequences, making the vast majority of this 'sequel' mere recycled footage from the original. Oh it's definitely a picture that punishes you severely, and you can be sure that punishment is absolute! And who knows that may not be so terrible if you've never seen the first one, but whoever watched the sequel first? Anyway oh my word, Eric Freeman's bad acting is such a true marvel to behold! The way he grimaces his bratty petulant face and has his eyebrows constantly threatening to fly off his head makes him look like an insane overgrown child, and it's not the good kind of acting insane! To his credit though the guy's Saturday morning cartoon show interpretation of what constitutes a bad guy is the best thing going for this incredibly lazy picture. The stuff he does with his face it just baffles the mind how anyone could have acted opposite him without cracking up! He's unintentionally hilarious but I could understand why the actor would have vanished himself so completely. If I were the holder of the legendary "Garbage Day!" moniker, I might want to fall off the face of the earth too.. Ricky is such an unapologetic dumbass with no real excuse for what he does. Billy went crazy after years of reinforced trauma, Ricky is just a gleefully murderous asshole who kills pretty indiscriminately while wisecracking, like some poor man's Freddy! The new movie footage aren't all that much to write home about except for Ricky and there's some well done and funny kills like the umbrella and when he attaches a car battery to the blonde guy's teeth until his eyes explode, that one was awesome! And it does pick up a fair bit in the final act where the Santa-clad Ricky goes after mouldy old Mother Superior and chases her around her house, and for a wheelchair-bound charred and half-dead looking old nun, she puts up one hell of a fight! It's so weird how at one point in the story they're watching Silent Night Deadly Night at the cinema and the scene has already been shown as Ricky's 'memories', it's like a memory-within-a-movie-within-a-movie - ~whoa!~ While no means totally bereft of entertainment value, this is one seriously hardcore bad movie. It's one that I would enjoy a lot more on a strictly so-bad-it's-good level, as for the twenty minutes he's on the screen, the Ricky stuff is priceless, but all those ceaseless flashbacks just make it mostly boring and really suck all the fun out of it to me. If I wanted to watch the first movie I'd watch the first movie. The best thing about this undercooked Christmas turkey I'm afraid is that if you take out all the flashbacks you only have a pretty fun half hour mini movie to deal with. Happy Christmas, and do remember that the act of chopping up one's local Mother Superior is especially naughty! X

MightyMoose666 What to say about a sequel that devotes roughly half its running time to recapping the previous movie and then the rest on being the cheesiest paint-by-numbers holiday slasher this side of The Gingerdead Man? This is hilariously awful in a way that, like Troll 2, transcends awful to become art. Every creative decision is the wrong one. Every acting beat is a misfire. It is a slow motion trainwreck that turns into a Picasso painting. You simply couldn't try to make a movie this bad. It has to happen organically. Hence, 10 out of 10. Perfect cinema.

meddlecore Quite possibly the worst sequel EVER!!! With the first film being nothing short of a masterpiece of slasher cinema, this film is a complete and utter disappointment.So much potential...wasted.The entire first half is a cheap rehashing of the first film...making the entire thing come off as a lazy cash grab (though I can't imagine word of mouth did it any good).What is most frustrating, is that they set themselves up so perfectly for a sequel at the end of the first film. But then chose the most uninspired and least creative route, they could have possibly taken.And the second half isn't much better, either. It's boring, drawn out, uninspired, poorly acted, and chock full of some of the most patently ridiculous kills you'll ever have the displeasure of watching.The whole story is retold here, from the perspective of Billy's (the antagonist from the first film) now institutionalized little brother- in flashbacks- despite the fact that he couldn't possibly have been privy to many details (as all parties involved would end up deceased).Far too much time is dedicated to the attempted development of our antagonists psychological character...and what follows simply doesn't make up for it.In the end, this film fails in every regard, where the original managed to succeed...and is simply a waste of time.2 out of 10.

ersinkdotcom "Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2" is nothing but so bad it's good. Most of Eric Freeman's acting is done with his eyebrows. This begs the question, "How can someone overact using their eyebrows?" Believe me when I say it can be done.It's easy to get through "Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2" if you just fast forward through all the scenes from the first film. You're left with about 45 minutes of wonderfully bad dialogue and a few madcap slayings you'll never forget. Just don't mistakenly skip through any of the parts in the room where the psychiatrist and Ricky are talking. There are some funny exchanges between the two of them you won't want to miss.
