I’m fascinated with classic horror films, but this film is just a laughably bad, cynical cash grab trying to hop on the slasher bandwagon, probably, in my opinion, one of the worst films ever made. It seems as if the makers of this film think horror films are nothing more than cheap jump scares and unnecessary cruelty. It’s just a boring and mean-spirited motion picture, along with annoying characters and a poorly done and desperate ad campaign trying to stir controversy. Whoever was behind the marketing should be questioned immediately. The backlash, while understandable, could’ve been avoided if the parents had told their children, Don’t watch it, and don’t make movies like this. There are two better holiday-themed holiday horror films to this day that are timeless classics: Black Christmas (1974) and Christmas Evil (1980). If you’re into trash B-movie trash, I might understand the appeal some supporters of the film would say: “Oh, it’s just a mindless B movie with a long sympathetic killer backstory.” And I’d admit that the concept of child trauma is good on paper, and in some instances the editing, and gore, and cinematography are well made. I love the retro look of this film; it’s pretty amazing. Good work, Charles; unfortunately, he passed away, deeply ashamed of the picture. But overall the direction, screenplay, acting, and score are overwhelmingly poorly executed. I genuinely don’t understand why there’s that much backlash against that Siskel & Ebert review; in actuality, I can understand where they’re coming from. Relax, guys; S&E doesn’t hate horror films in general. You're getting triggered over a television review made in 1984. Grow up; nobody cares. Stop acting like negative reviews of this film don’t exist because they goddamn do, and I’ve read them. We can easily predict how events would unfold regardless; you’re completely sitting there shaking your head as you watch a bunch of crime footage stitched together. The obvious thing to do was to just place Billy in a therapist; it was the most obvious thing to do and would've spared us an hour. Mother Superior deserved what she got; in the sequel, however, she was an insufferable moron, but the filmmakers were too scared to film a declination in front of children, so they said screw it and gave this piece of walking trash a second life. Why does Billy decide to randomly enter someone's house when he has zero indication of what goes on, who these people are, or what they have anything to do with Billy? Um, how are the cops this stupid at their jobs? Um, how is Billy tall enough to impale someone on a set of antlers? Seriously, this movie's storytelling and logic are a complete travesty. Yes, I can understand why people enjoy this film. For a slasher film, they actually develop the perpetrators backstory. That gives the film a sort of cautionary tale vibe. There are some wholesome moments here and there, and "Warm Side of the Door" is honestly an underrated gem. Even though the characters murdered in the store aren't entirely innocent, that doesn't justify Billy's actions. In conclusion, Silent Night, Deadly Night contains good special effects and visuals that are far from bad, but its jumbled-up, illogical screenplay is an utter disappointment. They made sequels to this, and that’s just Naughty... 1/5 ⭐️ I like Pamela’s tits, though, like seriously, I’m that horny.

I love this movie, it’s not only the greatest crime film of all time but one of the greatest films of all time, the cinematography acting and story are truly amazing The film is not a glorification but a reflection of why characters choose their own path regardless if the consequences leads to their demise, the decisions Bonnie and Clyde make in this film are done out of desperation and because of the good writing we the audience experience their journey through relationships, motives and opportunities What they did was wrong, truly perhaps we wish they would’ve turn themselves in before things escalate to a worse degree, but it was too late, but what we got was a well written heartwarming cautionary tale that still holds up to this day! (Also am I the only one who finds Faye Dunaway attractive in this movie)

To be honest, this wasn’t as bad as I was expecting, but that doesn’t make it good. But for starters, it has charming characters, good special effects, and a decent soundtrack. I’m not a huge fan of gore, but I’d give the film credit; it’s well done. But the main issue with the film is the story and the similarities with Friday the 13th Part 2, is immense with all the positives I’ve mentioned. At the end of the day, the story is the heart of your movie. It’s Friday, the 13th, but if Jason Got burned instead of drowning to death, which was called out by Siskel and Ebert on their Dogs of the Week segment show back when this was first released, If you're in the mood for silly, over-the-top horror movies with special effects, this is top-tier. But if not in the mood for that and you’re like into top tier storytelling, it wouldn’t be that bad but could be way better. Typical slasher bye drink water
