The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

People intend to forget what movies r all about. Suspend belief of reality and enjoy some of the best on film kills ever...between Laid to Rest & Laid to Rest 2 a low budget horror fan has some of the best on screen kills they could ever ask for!!!! I found the original in a used media store in my city in the 5 for $10 bins...sought out the sequel minorly n was lucky enough to run into it where i work at F.Y.E. If u in the mood for "decent" story line n spectacular kills seek no further as far as i'm aware as of my writing of this review, ( Hello run on sentence). hahaha These 2 films...this one a lil less cause it suffers from "good movie sequel syndrome...but the 2 back to back r a horror/slasher film fan's wet dream...male or female...Have Fun!!!Gory but iv'e seen worse...great kills!!!

On the cover of the DVD, where they usually stamp quotes and praise from various critics this one simply said "Some great kills", or something along those lines. Now when the best quote they could get for the movie is that, you're probably not going in expecting a masterpiece.Before I start taking a metaphorical dump on this movie, it should be acknowledged that it DOES have some creative kills, and the effects on that front are obviously where the bulk of the budget went - and lets face it - that's probably why you're watching it. Without spoiling anything, Chromeskull is probably in contention with American History X for best curb stomp.The writing is just shitty, no point being delicate on that one. It's obviously low budget (nothing wrong with that) except that a lot of the shots look like they were filmed on $400 handy cam.The flow of the story is in some ways similar to Final Destination, in that it introduces an uncompelling character, with one sentence worth of development, then desperately attempts to build tension by having Chromeskull hunt and kill them in elaborate ways.The characters are mostly bland and one-dimensional. You want to sympathize with JESS, who is going blind, but the character devolves into a hysterical sack of tears and screaming, but is amazingly less useless than her able-bodied male counterpart, Tommy.The ONE relationship which is actually compelling is CHROMESKULL and PRESTON'S. But the director doesn't seem to recognise this and forfeits any hope of adding another layer to the movie. Performance-wise the film is a mixed (colostomy) bag. Owain Yeoman as King (a detective) does a decent job with very little, as does Brian Austin Green as Preston (Chromeskulls right hand man).In summary, this is not by any means, a decent movie, but if your having a movie night with some friends, and cheap thrills and gory kills are your thing, this movie might appeal to you. But there is basically nothing new or original about this.

I recently saw the first Laid To Rest film and loved it a lot and was thrilled about finding the second one and not only was it still the work of Robert Hall it had Danielle Harris (Hatchet 2).I just finished and I am still loving the series of Chromeskull!The story still played well and the actors did a great job.This is now a contender of not only my favorite horror series but my favorite Kill Icon!I cannot wait until Laid To Rest 3!Must watch these in order though.~Joe

i thought the sequel had the same problem the first film had, plenty of action and gore with a terrible plot. some of the character's just seem to have screen time just to be there. brian austin greene and daniel harris just seem to walk around with no back story to each character. i know there trying to expand on the first but at least tell the viewer why this stuff is happening in the movie!!!and the lead actress really serves no purpose, all she does is walk around screaming and crying. the lead in the first film was strong and fought back. and why are the cops so clueless and stupid, let's walk into this building and spilt up so we can die! give me a great villain with an even better person chasing him. but i guess when you blow all the budget on gory effects you have very little time to work on a good script and story.
