Coffin Baby

Coffin Baby (aka Coffin Baby - The Toolbox Killer Is Back) is a 2013 American horror film written and directed by Dean C. Jones and starring Bruce Dern, Brian Krause, Clifton Powell, and Ethan Phillips. It has been represented as a sequel to 2004's Toolbox Murders, but is not. The majority of the footage in the film was shot for Toolbox Murders 2, the sequel to the 2004 film in which the eponymous toolbox killer, Coffin Baby, resumes his gruesome killing spree from the first film. Actor Christopher Doyle reprises his 2004 role as Coffin Baby.[1][2][3][4] However, distribution of Coffin Baby has been stopped by agreement between Dean Jones and the producers of Toolbox Murders 2.

Reception

Nav Qateel of Influx Magazine wrote that the film had the potential to be decent but failed.[1]

gollark: Random hardware initialization and detection, probably busy loops to spite you, sort of thing.
gollark: Due to different design constraints, fewer peripherals, and less overhead I guess.
gollark: Yes, exactly, they're typically much much faster.
gollark: Perhaps "serious" computer systems on hardware when they were made never booted that quickly, but special-purpose devices easily take less than 5 seconds for bootup.
gollark: Don't?
