Needed some tweaking in order to work

What an unusual little movie this turned out to be. First of all, I'm not sure if the IMDb synopsis is entirely accurate. That wasn't really what the film was about. Secondly, most people aren't going to realise that because the film waits until damn near the end to actually explain what is happening and why. It's all very odd.Putting "From the studio that brought you Terrifier 2 & 3" on your movie poster is an odd choice to me for this film. Maybe it will get some bums on seats, but it sort of misleads you into thinking there will be some creativity with the kills, which there is certainly not. You can only see so many people chopped by an axe before it becomes very mundane. There was even a scene where it's discussed if he should use a gun instead, and I thought to myself that at this point that may be a more interesting option.A horror film based around bad people getting their justice in a brutal way is almost certainly a film that can be made to work, but 'Silent Night, Deadly Night' went about it all the wrong way I think. It needed to make clearer earlier on exactly what was happening and why. It needed more tension and more adversity for the lead character. And it needed more creativity with the kills. Get those right and this could've been something special. Maybe they will the next time this is remade. 5/10.

Silent Night, Deadly Night isn't great, but it has elements I genuinely enjoyed

Surprisingly good!

I didn't go in expecting much. I was expecting just another bad remake. Was I ever delighted to see that the film had an interesting plot and tried to do some character building and camp (LOTS of it) done really well. It had everything a good bad horror film needed and was tremendously entertaining while being simultaneously interesting and somehow even touching. All while serving up the guts and gore too!
