I will be posting Christmas-themed horror films over the next 24 days of LosMas; for the twenty-third night, I am posting Psycho Santa 2.
Psycho Santa 2 (2021)
Years after the events in Psycho Santa, the now burned-faced Santa-dressed Killer returns to murder a new set of victims and learns he has a son. Meanwhile, the sibling of one of his victims from the first film seeks answers and hopes to confront the person responsible for his sister's fate. Surprisingly, after nearly twenty years, we see this low-budget sequel to the relatively unknown video release of Psycho Santa. While the first film was set up as an anthology, Psycho Santa 2 is a straightforward slasher with a new cast and director. Nearly ten minutes of the film is a flashback from the first movie using the footage to summarize one of the character's reasons for appearing. Directed by Lucien Eisenach, Psycho Santa 2 features a primarily male cast that doesn't stand out except for the only female character. Psycho Santa 2 is a low-budget film that, despite being 70 minutes long, seemed to drag due to its slow pace and uninteresting characters. Psycho Santa 2 offers nothing to the holiday horror genre and will likely be another film in Tubi's holiday rotation.
