Did you people see the same film I saw?

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Silent Night,Deadly Night may not the first slasher movie take place on Christmas time but the controversy and impact of it in 1984 sure make it much more famous than i imagine.Watching it now in 2017 i find the movie very enjoyable but not quite shocking or disturbing like many people though back in the day.The violence is gory and Robert Brian Wilson really creep me out with his performance as the killer Santa but i think the most scary person in the movie is Mother Superior.Btw Merry Christmas everyone

Silent Night Deadly Night has it all for slasher fans, and for people who may come to it just based on the premise and may not be well-versed. It has a simple enough set up (but fairly original) with a young kid who sees his parents killed in front of him by a disgruntled Santa Claus, becomes an orphan, and then snaps when he's an adult and under the control of some nuns.The movie is not any kind of 'high art'. Some of the filmmaking may not even be very good. But the movie pulls off some sequences that stick with you, and at times, often, it's very funny. It's somewhat disturbing, it's got some terrible acting, and lots of anti-Nun action. Highlight: the 'sledding' scene is the most random killing scene, but it does give a moment of pause from the rest of the psychological anguish of the piece. And yes, there is some of that too.

This is one of the most heart warming Christmas movies ever. A Santa Claus that goes around and shoots stupid people just makes me believe that there is a god. God would allow this to happen, right? Right. So anyway, this movie is great if you like death. I know I like to see little kids' parents murdered on Christmas. Those little noise makers don't deserve a mom or dad anyway. In fact, they shouldn't even get Christmas. They deserve a hard slap on the face or an axe to the face. My two favorite parts are when Santa kills a dumb store cashier. I loved watching this guy die, knowing he wouldn't be able to have Christmas again. Eh, his family won't miss him. Maybe his wife will go insane and kill their children. I hope that's what happened. And then he kills a boy's parents. He tried to rape the mother, which would have been hilarious. He then slaps her and slits her throat. Way to go, mom. What else are you going to ruin for your poor son? And the dad is just plain stupid. I was glad to see him go. And for some reason, he didn't kill the noisy baby. Jesus that baby is noisy. I wish he would have just ended it's life right there in the car. The rest of the movie is okay. Plenty of abuse and death to make you lose your faith in God. Here's to spending Christmas with the devil. It's nice to know the ones who were killed are burning away in eternal flames. I hate those people. They deserved to die. To wrap this review up, the movie will definitely make you believe in Santa again. Happy holidays and go kill some horrible parents. It's what "God" wants you to do, apparently.

Silent Night, Deadly Night tells the story of a boy whose parents were killed in front of him as a child, and it was by a man dressed as Santa Claus. Not only that, the man shot the kid's dad in the head and tried to rape his mother before slitting her throat while the boy watched. He hid so he escaped, but the memory remained, even throughout Catholic school where the Mother Superior was strict and violent, saying punishment is good and all naughty children should be punished. Naturally, this messed with the kid's head, so one day when he's finally all grown up, Christmas time comes along at his job and someone has to dress up as Santa Claus. Well, who better than the kid whose parents were killed by Santa to play dress up! He then embraces being Santa Claus, a judgmental fat man who kills naughty people, and that's when the bodies start piling up.It's a truly dark story. The movie would have been much better had they focused more on the psychological aspect as opposed to it just boiling down to "Santa is a killer. Now I'm Santa. Now I must kill!" It felt like the whole setup was wasted for an anticlimactic, soulless killing spree. Sure, there are some good kills, and there are plenty of boobs in typical '80s B-horror affair, but it failed to make an impact on anything more than a surface level. It's an enjoyable movie, it's simply a matter of greater potential not being realized. Now this is a horror movie, not an unintentional comedy like its infamous sequel, and it's admittedly effective as one. It's refreshing when a horror movie has an actual narrative you can follow. Worth a watch if you're a horror buff or just want to watch Santa kill topless women for an hour and a half.
