Indie-slasher director Steven C. Miller loosely remakes the controversial cult classic Silent Night, Deadly Night for the modern age with sadistic delight.
It's not really a great film but then again it never really tries to be. Instead it's filled with entertaining gory kill sequences and hammy dialogue & acting, particularly Malcolm McDowell who is blessed with delivering some of the worst lines in the film (something about avocado & hummus on his burgers?). With a whopping 27 producers working on the film you can expect a mess. Who cares? Silent Night is a terribly fun mess for slasher fans.

This is one of those grindhouse-type flicks not marketed as such.
People who watch plenty of horror should enjoy this.
Agreed.
It needed more emphasis on the grindhouse feel of the film.
The poster sort of hints at it, with the campy image and the frayed edges.
