Review:
Ten minutes into Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2, it becomes painfully obvious to anyone with a brain stem that the film's director is hoping that you have an attention span only as long as this sentence.

Why? Well, as unbelievable as this sounds, 45 minutes of Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2 is made up of footage from Silent Night Deadly Night Part 1. This wouldn't bother me so much if the movie weren't 86 minutes long which leaves 41 minutes of new footage (note that I didn't say 'original footage').

The recap comes in the form of flashbacks told by the brother of the Santa slasher to his psychiatrist. His name is Ricky and he was present in the orphanage when an overzealous cop filled his brother Billy full of lead. With that, you might conclude that Ricky would develop a deep hatred of cops but no, he developes a murderous hatred toward Santa Claus. So by that logic if his brother had been killed by Mr. Ed he would have developed a hatred for sitcoms.

After his brother's death Ricky explains that the orphanage didn't want his killer urge rearing it's ugly head. Their solution: Send the kid to a Jewish Family! But as you might guess little Ricky doesn't grow into a nice boy and when his adopted father bites the dust he gets the sinister urge once again. His first victim in a slug named Rocko who uses his girlfriend as a punching bag and gets meat cleaver sandwich. Apparently that relationship wasn't very solid because the girlfriend says 'thank you' with a smile and a swoon.

A slight (and I do mean slight) romance developes between Ricky and a girl named Jennifer who has a reputation for "getting around". Screentime-wise this union lasts about six minutes and ends when Ricky uses a car battery to do away with a loud-mouth who claims that the two have been slappin' nasties. Jen voices her disapproval by shouting "I HATE YOU RICKY, I HATE YOU RICKY, I HATE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!!!!" I'm not sure, but I think she disapproves of his actions.

Where his brother was motivated by killing the naughty, Ricky goes insane (more so) killing anyone that moves, everyone from a man taking out his garbage to a passing motorist. The motorist is not just shot, but shot in the eye going 40mph causing his car to careen off the road and fly up in the air and land with a triple-impact explosion. Ralph Nader would have a field day with that.

Now, if Ricky had been really industrious he could have simply whipped around and killed the director and crew that are clearly (read: VERY CLEARLY) visible when he crosses the street. I'm not kidding, camera, crew, director and all their equipment come into view. Somebody should be shot for that.
