Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
utahman1971 I am giving a 10 anyways. Why because still the dummies that review on this site still don't get it. THE VOTING, WHEN DOING THE REVIEW GIVES THE RATINGS. DUH! There is so many reviews that are not voted, and so the rating stays either higher or lower than it really should be. Why? Because, of what I started to say about people being stupid and not voting, when they review the movie. Who cares if you say it was certain stars out of 5 or 10. That has nothing to do towards the ratings on this site.God, I swear there are people that should not be let out, and locked up for good. This just proves it. Just for being dumb. So I see this movie is rated at 5.1 at around 30 reviews. Obvious, it is because of the no votes. I have read a lot of the reviews, and they are putting movie down without the vote, which means that 5.1 rating on it will not move down.That is how stupid it is. So the next few people that don't vote, and it gets a ton that do vote for it as good the rating goes up. Same vice versa to go down instead of up. It is not hard to vote people. It is right there when you review the movie. I mean, how can you miss it? It is right at the beginning of adding your review.Sorry, I come bluntly saying your dumb, but if you don't want to look stupid, then don't be. This site is pissing me off for not making the vote a mandatory thing, when reviewing the movie. It totally screws up the rating of the movies to either too low or way too high for a crap movie or a good movie that it made to look like crap.I will keep adding this to my reviews until the owners or moderators of this site or developers decide to make this right. It is not that hard to do things right. So think before you do something. I know its really hard for you to do it, but do it anyways.I can't believe it anymore, if a movie is really bad or good any more from these reviews. Cause, the ratings are messed up bad. Fix it, OK. I know you might be cutting out the people that reviewed already that did not vote, but if you did this the whole rating system would be better.
BA_Harrison I know that I enjoyed the original Laid to Rest for its sheer enthusiasm and spectacularly OTT gore, but I can recall very little about the actual plot, despite having only seen it a year ago; perhaps that's because there wasn't much of a story to remember in the first place (the lack of strong narrative clearly didn't matter too much to me: I gave the first film a rating of 7.5/10).Chromeskull: Laid to Rest 2 is just as eager to please in terms of bloody mayhem, and does so brilliantly with oodles of really mean-spirited and excellently executed gore, but this time around the film-makers also try to build on Chromeskull's character, and it is here that the film comes apart quicker than one of the killer's victims. While a bit of back-story mightn't have been so bad, what we are presented with here is so overblown, convoluted, and incomprehensible that it only serves to confuse and irritate in the extreme.The film opens abruptly with no recap of previous events, immediately launching into the unnecessarily complex nonsense that passes for a plot, in which a secret organisation is revealed to be behind the work of our metal mask-wearing maniac. With a script even messier than one of Chromeskull's kills, the viewer is simply left with too many unanswered questions—Who are these characters? What is the nefarious organisation hoping to achieve? Why are the police so f•••ing inept? Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to hire Danielle Harris (she was in the extremely disappointing sequel to Hatchet too!)? It all adds up to a very frustrating and frankly rather tedious experience.If director Robert Hall proceeds with his intended third and final Laid to Rest film, I really hope that he succeeds in explaining matters in a satisfying manner; simply drenching proceedings with buckets of really nasty knife action just won't cut it next time.I rate Chromeskull: Laid to Rest 2 a 9/10 for the sterling work of the effects guys, but 1/10 for everything else (resulting in a disappointing average of 5/10).
mike felmet As a huge fan of the first film I had high expectations for part 2. Robert Hall did not disappoint me. I loved the way that the film immediately picked up were part one left off. The kicker is that we soon learn that Chromeskull was not alone and in fact was in charge of a group dedicated to killing. Chromeskull severely injured in part one is down for the count and under care while his partner in crime "Preston" decides to finish what he started. "Preston" is played by Brian Austin Green who appeared to embrace the evil very well. There were some unanswered questions in the sequel and I would have liked more details about the group but it was a hell of a fun ride. The kills were brutal and the effects were amazing as usual. The cast was great and I love the twisted mind of Robert Hall. "Laid to Rest" will always have a reserved spot on my DVD shelf of greatness and I enjoyed it a bit more then part 2 but I highly recommend buying them both,popping some popcorn and enjoying the carnage.
KineticSeoul The first "Laid to Rest" wasn't a great slasher but it was a alright slasher that is passable because of the creative kills with a single weapon. This time the kills are a bit more gruesome for this sequel but it also seemed like they just put in bunch of random character for ChromeSkull to kill. And that basically sums up most of this movie for the most part. If you have a weak stomach though it's just better to stay away from this if you do cause there is almost nothing in the story department. The acting is even more atrocious this time and almost laughable at times than actually makes the premise intimidating. There is more weapons that is used to gruesomely kill people but the only audience I can see really enjoying this movie. Is the audiences that like to watch people die in some of the most gruesome way possible with sharp objects. Although I seen similar movies like this before but even I had to cringe a few times while watching this. Also the mystery behind ChromeSkull is what sort of made the videotaping killer sort of interesting and this movie reveals a bit of ChromeSkull and who he is. I am not sure if this is a good thing but the premise is even more ridiculous this time around. And not only because ChromeSkull manage to survive the first incident, it just makes the killer more supernatural than human. Okay so it is now revealed that ChromeSkull is like some leader in some creepy secret organization. Although it isn't clearly explained what that organization is about. Like I said there is little to no script for this movie and to sum it up, it's a sadistic gruesome killing movie. But there is audiences for this type of movie so if your one of them this movie might be worth a watch with a group of friends that share the same interest. I personally just found this sequel to be gruesome but bland. The movie sort of picks up near the end and than fall short again because it just becomes too ridiculous and stupid.3.8/10
