Synopsis:
An unnecessary semi-remake of Silent Night, Deadly Night.
Review:
Malcolm McDowell and Jaime King are cops in a town when a serial killing Santa shows up during Christmas time. An absolutely boring horror flick that made 10x overseas than it did here. The script is crap. I firmly believe Malcolm didn't even look at it and just ad-libbed everything. He appears to be channeling every backwoods sheriff he's ever seen portrayed on the big screen, but saying them with his British accent makes them seem about as out of place as an Academy Award for acting on Keanu Reeves's mantle. The kills are telegraphed, the plot is tired, and the director can't decide if he's going for horror, comedy, or anywhere in between.
Verdict:
You've spent actual Christmases with your family that've been scarier.
Silent Night
