Chromeskull was an absolute ordeal to get through. First of all, I LOVED the first movie, Laid to Rest (apparently there was such an uproar that Bobbi Sue Luther did not get naked in it, that she actually does in her brief cameo in this sequel. An interesting turn of events, and literally the only interesting thing that occurs in this movie).
Laid to Rest "2" represents so many things I hate in a horror movie. Excruciating dialogue. And his new "victim" is so hysterical throughout, you can't even understand her. This is part police procedural. Police procedural?! These are ALWAYS losers, and boring, to boot. There are self-absorbed teens who feel a need to video their every movement and thought. Let me get this straight: One of the guys from Beverly Hills 90210 is now the killer? (Somebody kill ME). Worst of all, this movie is complete and utter nonsense.
Ok, I got the impression that Laid to Rest established that Chromeskull was not invincible. Guess what? He's back. In the first movie, he was in absolute agony when the glue peeled his face off. Then his head is completely annihilated with an aluminum bat. Apparently, reconstructive surgery can bring a man back from the dead.
Laid to Rest had a fun retro 80's slasher vibe. Totally eliminated in this sequel. This was just plain sadistic. I was SHOCKED to learn the same guy wrote and directed both movies.
It is revealed in this movie Chromeskull has an entire team working for him. What serial killer has a team?! What's in it for them? Why are they so loyal to him? What are the business and moneymaking opportunities in murder? AND he has a tattoo artist on staff. Baffling!
I don't know how many incompetent cops they off in this movie (incompetent right up to the very last scene), but it's a whole hell of a lot. Tell the rookie to go and CUFF Chomeskull! Yeah... That's a good idea.
Tack on an idiotic, nonsensical stinger, and you've got the Chromeskull: Laid to Rest 2 experience.
