Silent Night, Deadly Night 1984
Watched May 21, 2012
lingur’s review:
Definitely not without merit, and the concept is actually quite clever, but it's just so damn nasty. And not in a fun way. If you can get through the opening, you'll make it through the rest (which is a lot tamer, by the way). But that opening is a little hard to stomach, even for someone as jaded as me.
Why were you watching this in May? I really like all the Christmas-themed killings, but yeah, the opening is really mean. Not only is the kid traumatized by his grandfather, but he witnesses his mother raped and murdered by a man in a Santa suit!
