17 - Chromeskull: Laid To Rest 2

    A sequel to Laid To Rest, which was a surprisingly memorable slasher.  I didn't think much of it when I first saw it, but the premise stuck with me better than most slashers do.

    The gimmick to this one is that the killer tapes all of his killings by a shoulder-mounted camera, and he wears a chrome-plated skull mask.

    There's more gore in this one, and a lot of it shows up very early, showing some reconstructive surgery on Chromeskull when things pick up at the end of the first movie.  While there isn't much in the way of a distinct plot going on, there is a lot of exposition given about Chromeskull.  It seems that he has an organization, which either he's leading, or it's existing to back him.

    The backstory seems more compelling than the actual horror.

    And this movie features a ludicrously inept police department.
