Moviegoers are saying
This Christmas-themed horror remake featuring Rohan Campbell as a costumed serial killer has audiences torn between swooning over the lead's charisma and cringing at Hallmark-level production values. While viewers praise Ruby Modine's explosive portrayal of a character with personality disorder and the entertaining Venom-like buddy dynamic with Billy's inner voice Charlie, many feel the film drags significantly in its first half before delivering a 'creatively awesome Nazi party massacre.'

Nelson may be throwing too much at the wall, but he does manage to make you feel something beyond just gross-out thrills.

It's well-acted and not schlocky, but it's one of those presents you open on Christmas, excited to receive it, only to forget about it the next day.

Silent Night, Deadly Night, is at its best when Nelson remembers how schlocky this material is, and he falters when he tries too hard to take it seriously.
