YMMV / Laid to Rest

• Complete Monster: The masked Serial Killer, ChromeSkull, real name Jesse Cromeans, tapes his murders and sends the videos to the police. Responsible for the deaths of dozens before the film in a variety of ways, ChromeSkull sets his sights on the drug-addicted prostitute, Princess. Locking her in a coffin at the funeral home of a mortician who aids him, ChromeSkull murders his partner-in-crime as soon as he becomes a liability. When Princess escapes, ChromeSkull tracks her to her friend's house, where he goes on to kill anyone he can before seemingly being killed. Returning in the sequel, ChromeSkull continues his murder spree, breaking into the house of a disabled woman, killing her friend and many of the cops who try to stop him.
• Evil Is Cool: Yeah, ChromeSkull is a thoroughly despicable man, but ... those knives ... that mask ... those unique kills ...
• Fanon Discontinuity: The sequel turning the first movie into a "Shaggy Dog" Story and how Princess has a different performer between films can inspire this sentiment.
• One-Scene Wonder: The teenaged store clerk, due to his efforts to drive ChromeSkull away at gunpoint, his likable attitude, and last but not least his Your Head Asplode fate.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: Pretty much any of the gore scenes.
• The Woobie:
  • Tucker, whose act of kindness results in his wife's murder, and his own death, which was rendered pointless by Princess's death in 2. The same goes for Steven.
  • Jessica, more so than Princess. She's going to become blind and needs medication for it, then sees her friend brutally killed and is kidnapped by ChromeSkull, and basically just spends the rest of 2 being tormented.
