Silent Night - DVD

I remember I rented this years ago and I thought this is a good golly Santa Claus gory film. The sound of the Blu-ray disc was really low but the picture is crystal clear quality. Special features just has a behind the scenes and deleted scenes. Plus you get the DVD too. Malcolm McDowell, Jaime King, Donal Logue, Ellen Wong & Brendan Fehr character of their roles was great. The effect of the gory scenes were really realistic. Read more

Excellent re telling of the classics SNDN, I cat get people who expect Shakespeare with these films true some of the acting isn't amazing however the lead is great and she keeps this motoring along. McDowell is the worst of the actors ( as he can Act) I think he was doing this for the pay check since Halloween redux he seems to get offered these roles and I'm sure doesn't care turns up reads the lines cashes his check. Peter Cushing or Donald Pleasence he is not, that said his roll is fairly small and the film is really good. Santa flame throwers tree shredders and stalk and slash action. If your in the mood to relive the 70s rent Halloween or Black Christmas if you want 80s esque cheesy bloody fun give this a go ho ho . Read more

This Santa isn’t very nice...must’ve woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Couldn’t he have just put coal in their stockings? I guess that would’ve made for a very boring movie. Read more

If you are expecting a remake of the classic 80s slasher 'Silent Night, Deadly Night', you will be disappointed. This movie only bears aesthetic similarities, with none of the weird back story surrounding the killer, who is indeed an enigma in this movie. Silent Night definitely lacks in terms of plot. There really isn't one. A deranged Santa slasher carved his way through a small town, with cliche after cliche from amateur pornographers to a greedy priest. At times, these feel stretched. What saves Silent Night, and warrants the four stars, is that it is a lot of fun. The gore effects are the crème de la crème of practical blood and guts. No CGI nonsense here that's easily noticable. Wood chippers, kitchen knives, flame throwers, the film looks and feels professionally done on every front. The acting is also good throughout, with of course a terrific performance by Malcolm McDowell. The Santa slasher himself looks creepy, and carries off the film's deadly hijinks well, although I do feel more dread could have helped this film reach its full potential. If you like slasher movies, and want to see a modern one that doesn't suck, you can do a heck of a lot worse than Silent Night. Read more

I would have given this movie 4 stars if it weren't for the last 5 minutes! You build up this almost supernatural monster Santa for 1 hour and 27 minutes, and then suddenly turn it into some BORING son after revenge trope?! How disappointing. Otherwise, I liked it! It's definitely one of the better independent horrors when it comes to quality. The actying was decent for the most part. Special effects were average. Good flick. Give it a watch. Turn it off at 1:27. Read more

Awesome horror movie. Very loose remake of Silent Night Deadly Night. Not an exact remake, nor does it mean to be. Pays great homage to original Silent Night Deadly Night but is not an exact remake. This is an AWESOME horror movie in it's own right. Yes there are certain scenes that pay it's respects to the original, but this is an all new story with great effects and gore! ! This is an AWESOME movie. If you loved the original, you should surely love this!!...I have to admit, I had my doubts at first, but after reading others favourable reviews, I had to see it. And I am glad I did. I was very pleased with da movie. I think you will be too. Read more

A great fun movie to watch if you’re into killer fun Christmas flicks! Read more

I didnt know what to think when I heard there was a remake of Silent Night. Well, I must say that i was pleased. Plenty of gore, good thrills and well done by director Stephen Miller. I strongly recommend his other work "Aggression Scale". Is there anything better than a maniacal crazy Santa Claus? i dont think so. My only complaint is that I would love to hear commentary tracks from Miller on his movies. Read more
