Another Shudder-fueled Sequel? Why not?
This is Scare Package II- Rad Chad's Revenge, the 2022 Sequel. The Film is a stronger mesh holding the structure together this time.
In the previous Film, a series of Horror Shorts connected the tale of Rad Chad.
Well, he's dead now.
This time, his Funeral sets up a new group of people to be put in peril.
Will this one top the original or be a disappointment?
To find out, read on...
They wake up and are put through a series of Tests...while also being shown the Shorts that make up the Film.
In 'Welcome to the '90s,' a group of Final Girls are targeted by a Jason Voorhees pastiche.

Can they rise above- even then- old stereotypes to survive?
In the main Story, the duo is slowly whittled down in Saw-like fashion.

Well, that makes it sound like it is only SIMILAR to Saw.
It's just Saw- but with Horror Film Trivia.
In The Night He Came Back Again! Part VI: The Night She Came Back, we see a follow-up to a previous Segment in the last Film.

This one updates the Halloween Parody to be like the recent Films, but with another crazy twist.
In 'Special Edition,' a rare tape with a familial connection gets played.
If you wanted countless references to 3 Men and a Baby in your Horror Short, you're in luck!
In 'We're So Dead,' a complex homage to a number of Kids-themed Films like Stand by Me.
It also has elements of Re-Animator and The Fly, because...dunno.
It all comes to a head with a bunch more Twists, an expected Cameo and some freaky humor.To find out how it ends up, stream it now.
This one is weird and fun, if quite a bit disjointed.
Mind you, that's a common issue with most Horror Anthologies though.
This one has a strong, overarching Plot. It is the attempt to make the constant start-stop aspect involving the Shorts that really draws the eye to it.
You are in Danger! Now watch this Movie.
Are we back now? Great.

That said, I generally enjoyed all of the Segments.
WTT90s was fun, even if its message was a bit outdated. Yes, Buffy the Vampire Slayer came out in 1992.
The 2nd one (the acronym would be ridiculous), the humor is good and the splatter enjoyable.
SE was an interesting one in premise, but only so-so in execution.
WSD was mostly a bunch of 'Hey, remember that Film,' but enjoyable all the same.

The overarching Story was actually the bigger draw here, with more Segments and a whole Plot that changed and grew.
Do I love this Film? Probably not as much as the first one, since it doesn't have that unique feel to it.
I'll still check in on a 3rd one, if it happens though.
Now who wants to never drink milk again?
