A surreal, darkly comedic horror-action sequel that blends grotesque supernatural menace with buddy-film camaraderie and B-movie absurdity.

The Tall Man, that imposing menace from Morningside Mortuary, is back and once again haunting the thoughts of the now-adult Mike and his friend, ex-Ice Cream vendor Reggie. The two continue their hunt for the mysterious figure and in his path of destruction encounter a variety of dangerous situations, friends and enemies.
