Toolbox Murders 2 [Blu-ray]

Honestly,i saw the bad reviews & didn't look into it too much cuz everyones opinion is their own.Granted i enjoyed the first film & the original but this was just odd. The story picks up with the sister escaping from the first film being killed & he steals her sister. Next thing ya know she is left to watch tortures upon tortures unfold in front of her,in a cage. There is good gore and such but the story isn't really there,there is no real dumbness but not a real story at all. Just gore & the days pass away until she loses her mind completely. I really don't know what else to say,if you like gore and just wanna give it a shot you will probably dig it id you enjoyed the original or remake. It's worth a shot. I got it for a penny + shipping. Gorehounds enjoy.

It started off interesting......but then got veryyyyyyyyyyyyy slow.....I had to move ahead to see if anything changes. Skipped 8 mins.....still in same scenario.......skipped 20 mins......OH, there is a little blood.......I eventually just stopped it with 40 mins left to go to write the review......maybe I didn't give it my all.....but I was playing games on my phone waiting for this movie to get interesting...... Sorry for the actors in this.....cuz they probably might be worth something, but the script was BLAH.

lots of fast cuts that lead to nowhere. some gore, but the plot, story are not engaging or believable.

Not to bad but the first one is way better!

Toolbox Murders 2 is finally here! It was once called Coffin Baby in other countries. It's the sequel to the remake by Tobe Hooper. The Shout! release is so different compared to the old Coffin Baby cut. I actually prefer the other version. I found it to be a better movie all around and better music. It had different scenes and a better ending too I think. TBM2 was not bad though, but I was not a fan of the way the story went in this one. It's pretty nasty at times too. Some very gruesome moments and some great special effects. I would say it's worth watching if you liked the remake. TBM2 cut I would give 3/5 I would give the Coffin Baby cut a 4/5. If you can find Coffin Baby though, I would recommend that version over TBM2. Shame they didn't have both cuts on the bluray. No extras either but a trailer on this release. I was hoping for a bit more in this tool box. I'm glad it's been released though. I heard they are already working on part 3. So that's good news for horror fans.If your interested in seeing the Coffin Baby version, it's available on dvd/bluray in Germany and other countries. I've heard the German steelbook is the best version to get. You will need a region free dvd/bluray player though to watch it.

I loved Tobe Hooper's Toolbox Murders. It had interesting and gruesome murders but also had a plot, interesting characters, a good detective story, a neat supernatural twist, and a cool "monster." I wanted a sequel which would delve deeper into the coffin baby and flesh out the story more. What I got was an over the top gory and violent movie with no plot. It is just gore and violence for the sake of gore and violence. There is no further insight to the coffin baby, no characters worth caring about, and it looks like the whole thing was shot in a warehouse for $200. There are two mysteries: how did they get Bruce Dern to do this and who invested the $200?

I'll start off by saying I liked TBM (reboot/re-imagine) 1, it was a fun, down-and-dirty shocker/gore romp effectively directed by genre legend Tobe Hooper. This follow-up is a ponderous, incoherent mess of a film. The killer from 1 imprisons and tortures a bunch of people somewhere, for some reason. Disinterested-looking Academy Award winner Bruce Dern shows up long enough to phone in a 5 minute performance and, presumably, fire his agent. Things get inexplicably supernatural and we gradually stumble into a vague, unresolved ending that leaves the door open for (surprise!) another sequel. It appears most of the budget went into the Se7en/Dawn of the Dead remake-style opening credits sequence, which might have been kind-of impressive in the mid/late 1990s (complete with era-appropriate generic industrial musical accompaniment). This may be worth a look for hardcore gore-heads, but probably not (the effects, while practical and plentiful, look pretty cheap to me). Instead of wasting your time on this train wreck seek out the 1978 source material, it's equally pointless but at least provides the joy of watching Cameron Mitchell run amok and chew scenery.

1ST 1 WAS BETTER!

It was ok not as good as the first film.
