[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mars Needs Women: [QB] Tis the season to be killing... Y'Know there's another killer Santa movie [URL=http://imdb.com/title/tt0088117/]Silent Night, Deadly Night [/URL] What got me was some guy's opinion of the flick. [QUOTE] "Silent Night, Deadly Night" is one of the most bizarre movies I've ever seen. For the most part, I really don't like this film. But for some odd reason, I don't hate it. This movie has sort of grown on me a bit. This movie caused a big controversy back in 1984 when it was released (many movie theaters refused to release this and the theaters that did release it were picketed) because of it's portrayl of a killer Santa Claus. I remember hearing on the news that TV stations refused to show commercials of this on TV because they feared that it would frighten young children. That was a wise move because this movie is definitely not for children! I've never seen this movie air on a TV or cable station, and it's been over 15 years since this film was made! But really, what were these filmmakers thinking of when they made this? "Silent Night, Deadly Night" is a movie where just about every murder scene made me cringe. However, some of the murder sequences in the film were strangely fascinating. I don't know why. Another asset is that the movie is never boring. It entertained me inspite of itself. But it's not up there with my slasher favorites "Halloween", "Friday the 13th", and "Scream". "Silent Night, Deadly Night" has lackluster performances, wooden direction, and an incredibly absurd script. And it features without question the meanest Mother Superior in movie history! [/QUOTE]There's nothing more fascinating than killing people on X-mas. [/QB][/QUOTE]
