LAID TO REST 2

Chromeskull is up to his old tricks: kidnapping young girls to torture and kill.  Beginning from where Laid to Rest ended, a young girl is brought to Chromeskull's lair.  The local police are searching for her; she tries to escape but can't partly because she has an eye disease that has rendered her legally blind.  Finally, there is a confrontation between Chromeskull and the police.
Within the first 10 minutes we find out that Chromeskull has created an organization that helps him in his murderous activities.  He has a "cleaner" who is working at tying up loose ends -- mainly the survivors from the first movie, a personal assistant who takes care of him and apparently a limitless supply of money.  This all adds to the myth of Chromeskull and adds some intrigue to the story, but as for the story, it just kind of plods along at a steady pace never creating much suspense.  Once again, the kills are inventive, the effects are first rate and the gore is over the top.  I will give props to Brian Austin Green who plays the cleaner, he is very creepy, a little crazy and very fun to watch. 
RATING  2.5 out of 5
