The main downside of Scare Package II is that while it goes bigger in comparison to the first film, it does so by attempting to cram so much into so little.
The film’s humor feels like it mostly goes for low-hanging fruit, relying more on the accomplishment that they’re obnoxiously meta rather than being legitimately funny.
It’s not something that totally ruins the sequel or torpedoes the potential for a Scare Package III, but at the end of the day, it’s hard to ignore that Scare Package II suffers from ‘Part Two Syndrome’.
Ultimately, even if constant throwbacks, green acidic barf in slow-motion, and skin disgustingly hanging aren’t enough to pique your interest, Scare Package II: Rad Chad’s Revenge is worth the watch solely for its exhaustive portrayal of the world’s most loyal horror aficionado.
