There is no question that Chromeskull, the killer from the first Laid to Rest movie, is angry; he's got a chrome mask painfully fused to his cranium, for starters, which could explain a lot of bad humor. In this sequel, Chromeskull has more victims to torment and a vast new array of ways to do his badness. Speaking of which, let's just jump to the film's main calling card: director Robert Hall, an accomplished make-up and F/X man, has devised some of the grisliest, most stomach-churning make-up effects in the slasher genre. If you've ever wondered what's inside a human head, this film will provide repeated viewings for your consideration. This gruesomeness is occasionally interrupted by a remarkably flimsy plot, the best of which features 90210 alum Brian Austin Green as Chromeskull's Igor character, an egotistical lackey who gets a little above his station (hint: when you submit yourself to a painful Chromeskull tattoo, you've lost perspective on your job). Green seems to be enjoying himself, which is more than you can say for the other folks wandering through this sadistic cleave-fest. --Robert Horton

Product Description

The game of cat-and-mouse is on as Chromeskull’s assistant, Preston (Brian Austin Green, Desperate Housewives), scrambles to tie up the loose ends left behind after his deranged boss’s last killing spree. He finds that he likes taking care of business—maybe a little too much. One bloody mess leads to another and the bodies pile up in a visual feast of the most spectacular kills ever filmed. Thomas Dekker (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Danielle Harris (Hatchet II), and Owain Yeoman (The Mentalist), also star in the most brutal slasher film of the year. Chromeskull is back with a vengeance!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first but not bad August 16, 2011

By Dayna Newman

Format:Blu-ray

I had the highest of hopes for this sequel seeing as I loved the first installment.
Chromeskull'Laid To Rest 2' was confusing and muddled and completely wasted the talents of Danielle Harris by casting her in a role that was unnecessary and coma like in dialogue and acting.
One bright spot in the movie would be the gore and gore effects.They were done really well,not as well as the first but pretty close although they were abundant.
Also actress 'Brianne Davis' was great in her role as a nearly blind girl and 'damsel in distress',she was another bright spot.
Brian Austin Green was in my opinion another disappointment.His acting was lackluster and his performance added nothing to the film,an unknown with good acting skills would have served better.
The last 30 minutes really picked up and got me interested . Before that I was just going through the motions of watching and hoping it would get better or make more sense.
The ending was somewhat confusing but the very last scene was ironic and clever. If your a gore lover I strongly suggest you see it ,if you want a movie with really great concept and depth I suggest you see Stake land (which in my opinion includes Danielle Harris' best performance to date) or The Clinic.

2.0 out of 5 stars What a snooze fest. September 25, 2011

By jamespen

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

Light on the gore. Shallow and unlikeable characters. A Boring and entirely
illogical explanation of the title character's purpose. It's a shame too
because the first film had some shocking gore, top-drawer special effects
and well-defined and likeable characters. Basically, this film loses just about all that
made the first one good.

Rent this movie before buying it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing sequel October 28, 2011

By N. Durham HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Blu-ray

The sequel to FX guru Robert Hall's surprisingly good Laid to Rest is finally here, and sadly, it's a mammoth disappointment. Picking up shortly after the first film left off, ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2 finds our mysterious chrome-skulled killer back at it with a vengeance as survivor Tommy (Thomas Dekker) becomes a target, as well as a girl (Mimi Michaels) who is slowly losing her eyesight. In the middle of all this we learn a little more of just what ChromeSkull is and how he gets away with his ghastly deeds, which make little to no sense. Brian Austin Green is on board as well as a pseudo-employee, and has gleeful fun in his role, but other than that there really isn't anything here that does much justice to the original. While there's copius amounts of ultraviolent gore effects, the film is much more sadistic in tone than the first, which makes it all the less enjoyable to boot. Not to mention the fact that a decent chunk of the film is just plain boring. It's a shame that this sequel doesn't measure up to the first, because there was an opportunity here to do something really special. Instead, the end result is this disappointment. Also featuring genre stalwart Danielle Harris in a vampy role.

3.0 out of 5 stars so-so at best October 9, 2011

By MarySch

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have seen the first movie, and it was quite good for a slasher flick. This movie however, was mostly a drawn out mess. It took way too long to really get to the good stuff, and Brian Austen Greene was just a little too over the top in this. If you just love the gory stuff then you'll like this, it has plenty. It doesn't, however, deliver on scares. It was kind of boring, and the whole "organization" angle didn't really add anything to the story. Overall, just okay.

4.0 out of 5 stars CHROMESKULL 2 LAID TO REST 2 September 28, 2011

By Anthony J. Cooney

Format:DVD

Overall a great movie much better then the first esp the acting in this one actually makes sense and doesn't sound like the actors are insane. I love how the story picks up from the first one and it explains chromeskull's back story. The Gore is much better then the first and does have alot of kills better then most horror movies now a days. Also I like how this is a NEW idea and not a remake like most of the horror movie are. Some people don't like Brian austin green ,but he fits the bill in this movie for the fact he is take care of chromeskull and fixing up all the loose ends It's nice to see he plays a role where he can be the nice guy then this insane whack job who loves to kill. The special features are good esp the bloopers and the making of the movie. Can't wait for part 3.

3.0 out of 5 stars I'M TRYING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION HERE! September 24, 2011

By Michael TOP 500 REVIEWER

Format:DVD

I will say I never saw the first movie. I was confused as this movie assumes that you did see the first installment. I was asking basic questions such as "Who is Chromeskull? Why is Chromeskull? Why does he kill? What is this organization behind him?" I felt behind and found myself going back through scenes to see if there was something I missed.

Once I got over that, I have to ask...Seriously. If you are going to kidnap someone, wouldn't you think about checking them for a cell phone before you lock them up?
The cops have various clues and leads and are hunting down Chromeskull as he, or I should say his slightly inept apprentice, prepares his next victim.

If you watched the first one, and made it through 5 or so Saw movies, you don't need to be reading reviews, you know you are going to watch it anyway. If you haven't seen the first one, I would recommend watching it before attempting to watch this one.

F-bomb, shower nudity.

By Zach

Format:Blu-ray

The film didn't really live up to my expectations, yet still i really had a fun time with this one. It could have been better with a few tweaks here and there but if you really enjoyed the the first laid to rest, you"ll enjoy this sequel.
