90 Remember when a Vice blogger stated that Happy Death Day 2U was the first horror film to deal with grief? If you hadn't already guffawed when that click-bait title first dropped, I hope you're rolling your eyes back as you're reading this, because it's a preposterous…
SilentDawnDec 9, 2025I rewatched this one with my discord friends so that we could be caught up for the new remakes that's coming out in a little bit. I liked it a lot just as much as i did when i saw it for the first time. It's a very entertaining 80's slasher full of great kills and iconic…
horrormikaDec 20, 2024The year is 1984. You are the movie critic at a mainstream newspaper. You make $65,000 per year. You voted for Carter four years ago but went for Reagan this time. You are very concerned how easily children are able to access some of the ugliest tapes at the video store.…

Lauren!Dec 23, 2020I forgot that this movie actually takes its time to develop Billy’s downward spiral, leading to a hell of a murder spree. Genuinely disturbing, I get the picketing. A nasty slice of 80’s holiday sleaze.

poor billy :( he just needed some therapy
Dark Sun likedSilent Night, Deadly NightGreat soundtrack, good kills, and following kid Billy was genuinely well-done, as it actually felt way too real. The movie does lose me with its nudity though. I know it’s a guarantee for horror, but its use is so incredibly excessive and often in very poor taste.
ChungiBoi is "meh" onSilent Night, Deadly NightThis was a surprising watch as everyone I heard talk about it referred to it as a goofy b slasher, and although it has some of that, it’s actually very dark and depressing for much of it. It’s alright but not very rewatchable for me
- MovieDaddy likedSilent Night, Deadly Night
Overly schlocky with over the top acting and kills. Very enjoyable for horror hounds, on par with the like of Sleepaway Camp.
Richie Birks likedSilent Night, Deadly Night7/10 hidden gem love the concept and the kills are so fun have you been nice or should you be punished?
Abbi likedSilent Night, Deadly NightClassic slasher. Traumatized boy grows up to kill a bunch of people. Except now, it’s 🎄✨Christmas✨🎄
- Ggrizz likedSilent Night, Deadly Night
“Go back to bed or Santa won’t come” “He’s not the only one” Got to love 80s slashers.
I Am Mervin 2 lovedSilent Night, Deadly NightScary, Dreadful, Beautiful. Loved every second of Silent Night, Deadly Night.

Metacritic
In nearly every way, Silent Night, Deadly Night is as run-of-the-mill a slasher film as the ’80s produced, enjoyable today primarily for its kitsch value.

Silent Night, Deadly Night brought the idea to new levels of cold sleaziness.
