I don't understand why people are being so critical of this movie. It is what it is, a comedy horror that pokes fun at the whole genre, and gives us plenty of funny moments and ridiculously unbelievable kills. Its filmed beautiful, the editing is great, the fx are incredible, and the actors play it straight. I actually like this better than Scary Movie, as the comedy is found in the shortcomings of the horror genre, and within horror movie kills. Sure it's silly, it's supposed to be. It's a comedy, no doubt, with gore. And it's funny, I laughed and smiled all the way through and felt entertained. Mission accomplished.

First, I am a huge fan of the original Scare Package, and the clever way it had fun with a myriad of horror tropes. This sequel goes very far astray of what made the original so great, so to say I was disappointed is an understatement, though I could find a few redeeming qualities. From the very beginning, writer/director Aaron B. Koontz makes it abundantly clear that this is a comedy... and a goofy, borderline-slapstick one at that. This is an anthology series, so you've got a variety of writers and directors. This aspect was slightly different from the original, in the fact that there were only four short stories, and the Koontz/Burns framework story is the bulk focus. Which is not exactly a mistake, as exactly half the shorts (the latter two) completely suck. I thought the first two shorts were very good. As a matter of fact, the first, Welcome to the 90's, I felt was the one thing clever enough to fit into what the first movie accomplished. It is a fun take on a role reversal of final girls, though it does get preachy by the end. But a great idea, nonetheless. The second short is good, too, The Night He Came Back Again! Part VI: The Night She Came Back, as I always like to see characters return from the original (more can be found in the wraparound story). It is a (further down the line) sequel to a short from the original, and is left open-ended enough for more. I just hope Koontz goes back to his original winning concept, if this actually continues as a franchise. Here's the problem: This sequel is (primarily) not a clever comment on horror tropes, it is a parody and reference-generator of horror films (plus other films in general). The framework story focuses mostly on the Saw movies. This sort of thing has not only been done already (in the "Movie" movies, Meet the Spartans, etc.), but I'm fairly certain one of the Scary Movies has done Saw already!! So, add redundant on top of all that's wrong. Now, I'm all for movie references (Scare Package One had a particular affinity for the Friday the 13th series), but when that's your movie's sole focus, it gets real tiresome. Case in point: The fourth short, We're So Dead, is nothing but a very obvious succession of movie references, seemingly designed for a Saw "game" in the ensuing frame. The references and quotes in the latter/concluding part of this movie fly at you rather mercilously, and made me wish the movie was over already. There is a modicum of fun to be had here, but ultimately the movie is bogged down in dumb parody and cramming in as many references as possible. There is even an extra on the Blu-ray, done in a Pop-up Video style, TELLING you what and where all the references lie/refer to. Which is actually a pretty good idea, if I had the patience for it. Ya gotta sit through the movie again in its entirety to get them all. C'mon, get back to the drawing board!

Scare Package II (2022) is a movie that I recently watched on Shudder. The storyline follows a horror guru who dies and sets up a series of horror games for his guests to observe and/or survive, Saw style. Will any of his guests survive the games or are they all destined for a demise similar to his own? This movie is made up of several segments codirected by Alexandra Barreto (Mayans MC), Aaron B. Koontz (The Pale Door) among others. This picture stars Jeremy King (As Night Falls), Shakira Ja'nai Paye (House Party), Byron Brown (Blood Fest), Dustin Rhodes (WWE), Barbara Bingham (Friday the 13th VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan) and Diana Prince (Halloween Ends). It's too bad this is a parody because the special effects and gore in this are out of this world. I really enjoyed the kills scenes. Like every film made up of several segments, some are better than others and some take themselves more seriously than others. The killers are consistently pretty cool with good makeup, masks and overall design. The comedic content was inconsistent with some scenes more clever than others. The acting will remind you of the Scary Movie franchise, essentially "good enough." The sets are absolutely incredible, like a horror movie play land, very well done. The dialogue can be annoying, but the concepts are consistently worthwhile. Overall, this is a fun parody that's worth watching once. It isn't Scary Movie, but it's good in its own way. I would score this a 5.5-6/10 and recommend seeing it once.

Wow, this was bad. First, I liked the first Scare Package. It wasn't perfect but overall was very fun and had some good horror elements. The shorts were inconsistent but pretty fun. Well thet must have used all their A, B, C, and D material on the first movie. This installment is neither fun nor witty. I had to take a break after the first two shorts because it was so bad. First, the humor is non existent. The jokes and gags were not funny, I didnt laugh once. The shorts were poorly written, none of them would not even make the first movie. The wrapper story dowsn't go anywhere either. Finally, it was dusted with wokeness. Not sure if this was supposed to be a dig at how wokeness has come into horror movies (unlikely) or if it was just done because they wanted to send that message (probably). Either way it pulled down the movie further. The first short which is the best (not good, just the best) literally ends in a lecture. Wow just what I'm looking for in a horror parody. There is more sprinkled in after that, including a speech on white privilige in the overarching story. Wow what fun. In summary, avoid this movie even if you liked the first one like myself. It has none of the fun or charm of the first one and seems like a rushed sequel with no reason to exist.

The first "Scare Package" was a fun riff on horror films (most of them being good) for the horror nerds by horror nerds. "Part II" is ... somehow ... a cash grab (can't imagine much) pandering to how women are strong, independent, don't-need-a-man, ball kickers and men are alpha males who make the wrong decision every time or are fat goofy slobs. Much like putting the "F" word in titles of movies, "Part II" sets you up for what to expect from it. It's slow, boring, lazy and badly written by people who either don't care about the genre or just were told to write a story in 30 pages or less without being proofread. There's nothing wrong with a female lead (there's millions of films dedicated to this, there's entire sections of streaming apps to prove this), but it's becoming a negative trend when literally every movie is doing this and when a movie that is a series of vignettes does this. There are some great gross out gags and some funny one liners, though.

Back in 2019, Aaron B. Koontz and Cameron Burns' Scare Package was a sly prank on the horror genre. It was a refreshing anthology series that riffed on all of the genre's tropes in clever and fun ways. The sequel, Rad Chad's Revenge, offers much of the same fun but much of the enjoyment is ruined by the filmmakers' constant need to push their repeatitive personal agendas over entertainment or blood-curdling good laughs. The framing narrative this time is a spoof of the Saw series with a deceased horror guru and video store owner Rad Chad turning his funeral into a series of daunting, deadly escape rooms for the mourners in attendance. Of the stories presented only two are fairly well done. The first, Welcome to the 90s, has several famous horror final girls and 'Buffy' (Steph Barkley) fending off Jason, Freddy, Xenomorph, Michael Myers, Leatherface stand-in: Tony the Killer (Joshua Miller). Although it is dragged down with a lot of ham-fisted, patronizing editorial commentary which it could have and should have done without, Welcome to the 90s is the best of the four stories. The second featurette, The Night He Came Back Again! Part VI: The Night She Came Back, is a sequel to The Night He Came Back Again! Part IV: The Final Kill in the original film with final girl Daisy (Chelsey Grant) making her return. If you shut off Scare Package 2 after that one, you won't have missed anything much. If do you venture further put on that football helmet or hard hat you have sitting around as the filmmakers continue to hammer home their agenda over and over again like Thor bludgeoning the ice giants with Mjölnir. That's ultimately why what could have been a good follow-up just becomes as irritating as Love and Thunder. Okay, nothing in filmdom could be THAT annoying but Scare Package 2 gives it a run for its money.
