silent night deadly night 2 be the film version of those terrible recap special that come every couple season or so on a popular television show . comprise of recycled clip from previous episode and these special usually be close to un viewable . they take the best clip from the series that most people have already see and place them one after another out of context and thus strip them of any of the original comedic value or suspense . likewise and silent night deadly night 2 be mostly comprise of footage from it predecessor . in fact and over forty five minute of the footage have be crib from the original . this have never really be do in any movie before and and there a good reason for this and even beyond that these clip have to be view in their original context to retain the same power . most people watch the sequel have already see the first entry . no one want to sit through the same stuff over again . sequel be suppose to continue the story and not rehash it . this be why while the original silent night deadly night be a personal favorite of mine and this film be possibly one of the bad sequel of all time . silent night deadly night 2 focus on ricky and the young brother of billy who be the original santa claus killer from the original . ricky have follow in the path of his brother and become a serial killer as well . now detained and he recount his story to a psychiatrist . cue footage from the first film and use in the form of flashback . not only be this boring and but it make absolutely no sense at all . ricky flashback date back to when he be less than a year old in some case and where it would be almost impossible to have any memory . in other instance it be certainly impossible for him to remember several of the flashback a many do not even involve him . the fact that ricky have memory of thing that he be never a part of and would never have a way of find out and be just one of the many enormous plot hole . after about forty five minute and ricky begin recount his personal story of grow up . thankfully the recycled footage cease and the audience be present with something new . unfortunately and it be insanely stupid and venture into so bad it good area half the time and just bad area the other half . despite not be old enough to have be emotionally scar by the same event that send his older brother over the edge and ricky have also become a psychopath . the difference here be that while his brother be set off by the sight of santa claus and ricky get murderous tendency whenever he see the color red . when he see a red truck he subsequently murder the owner with it . when he see a red umbrella and he use it to impale a gangster in what be possibly the lame death sequence ever . when he see a red blanket and he nearly have a heart attack . the problem with this be that it virtually impossible to avoid the color red on a daily basis and meaning young ricky would have heart attack every time he get a test back grade with red marker . not to mention that this make for a fairly pathetic serial killer . all you have to do be put on a red t shirt and he will probably wet himself ( although by the end he have inexplicably get over this fear and don a santa suit ) . in one mind boggle sequence and ricky take his girlfriend to the movie theatre to watch the original silent night deadly night . keep in mind this be a sequel to silent night deadly night that continue the exact story from where it leave off . even ricky have a huh moment a the film start and be reveal to be the first entry in the series . how can ricky and who be in the first film and have crystal clear memory of event that occur within it and go and watch the first film in a movie theatre . do this mean that ricky be delusional and the event from the original never happen . or do this mean that ricky have cross over out of the movie universe and into the real world . no and all it mean be that the writer be probably snort cocaine while they type out this script . it doesn not go much low than the movie theatre sequence and but there be still plenty more example of stupidity sprinkle throughout the rest of the film . eric freeman ridiculously over the top acting a ricky and accompany by eyebrow that seem to bounce around his face like they have be inject with acid and turn his garbage day rampage into a laugh riot a he blow up car with his pistol and shoot at people take out the trash . the scene have since become a viral video hit and garner hundred of thousand of view on site like youtube . by the end of the film the director seem to be try to turn ricky into some sort of classic horror movie villain and a he be practically unfazed a he be remedially shoot in the chest . while this work for inhuman villain such a jason voorhees and it make absolutely no sense for ricky to be brush off shot straight through his chest like they be bug bite . then the end come around and it truly be just plain retarded . silent night deadly night 2 could have be enjoyable in a so bad it good way . there be certainly some instance that make me laugh out loud . however and over half of the running time consist of bore and recycled footage from the original silent night deadly night and which make it not worth the time to get to the good stuff . if silent night deadly night be a nice and little christmas gift and silent night deadly night 2 be just huge lump of coal .
