\"\"<\/a>Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2<\/em><\/strong> is one hell of a good bad movie thanks primarily to Eric Freeman\u2019s hammy yet still amazing, may I say eye-brow raising, performance with one memorable line that has stood the test of time.<\/p>\n

\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Plot Synopsis: Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2<\/em><\/strong> finds Billy\u2019s little brother, Ricky (ERIC FREEMAN) housed in a psychiatric prison, being interviewed by Dr. Henry Bloom (JAMES L. NEWMAN) to determine the events that led him there. Ricky tells the story of his own childhood that for some reason he can remember despite being a baby, of his parents being murdered by a man dressed as Santa. Basically, what we get in between some cut-ins, is a replay of the highlights from the first film. Eventually, Ricky does reveal his murder spree and subsequently escapes with an eye on revenge against the heartless Mother Superior (JEAN MILLER).<\/p>\n

Review: <\/strong>Often times I don\u2019t \u2018get\u2019 the good bad movie; I watch them and think they pretty much stink. Perhaps it\u2019s due to frequently seeing them by myself, but they tend to be miserable experiences. And then there\u2019s Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2<\/em><\/strong>. Maybe I was in a good mood, but this was one hell of an experience. I\u2019ve seen plenty of online reviews but seeing it in its full and this is a thing of beauty. Sort of. The first half of the movie is pretty much comprised of clips (via flashbacks) from the first movie. The second half, its actor and star Eric Freeman in all of his eyebrow-raising glory.<\/p>\n

This sequel was directed by Lee Harry, who also co-scripted, and I suppose he did a commendable job considering the restrictions he was under by the studio, forced to use footage from the first film and had such a limited budget to more or less make half a movie, or about 45 minutes. Although, as I said, the first half of the film is a bit of a chore, especially if you\u2019ve already seen the first Silent Night, Deadly Night<\/em>, it\u2019s rather tedious to sit through. But, that is more than made up with Eric Freeman\u2019s magnificent performance because it was a thing of beauty, culminating with this iconic line, \u201cGARBAGE DAY\u201d, followed by some wonderfully delicious and hammy villainous cackling. Truly hilarious.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the end, it\u2019s not hard to see how Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2<\/em><\/strong> has become such a cult hit over the 30 years since its release and one hell of a good bad movie that, once you get past the \u201cpreviously on\u201d segments, is a treat to view.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
