Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 (1987)

Rate: 2
Viewed: 4/13

4/13: Well, I think the first half of Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 was a blessing in disguise because it forced me to fast-forward to the point where the movie actually started.

Then, the last forty-five minutes is a giant snooze-fest. I understand the piss-poor job by everybody involved, and I know I wasted my time watching it. Yet I give the film a '2' although it should be '1' if it wasn't for the overlong, unnecessary (read that as "necessary") flashbacks.

The viewers who were enthralled with the "Garbage Day" scene either are smoking crack or have a weakness for lame sophomoric humor because the campiness of the scene is so ordinary. Understandably, Eric Freeman disappeared afterwards and wasn't heard from again. He certainly was an oddball when it came to his acting technique by moving eyebrows up and down frequently and mimicking the Terminator's movements.

Taking all of them into the equation, Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 is so awful that it deserves to be placed in a new genre: "Did the Producers Really Green-Light This Piece of Shit?" Unsurprisingly, the whole thing was filmed in mere ten days. Perhaps it should've been worked on longer to make it a bit better?

All in all, skip Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2; actually, let me rephrase that: skip the original by watching only the sequel, and you won't miss a thing.
