Silent Night 2012

Silent Night is a 2012 remake of Silent Night, Deadly Night. Unlike most remakes, it’s pretty damned good. This is a remake done right. The concept of a killer maniac dressed as Santa running loose in a town is kept in place, as is a past trauma as his motive. For extra cool points, theContinue reading “Silent Night 2012”

It was made independently but has been overshadowed recently by more modern versions of World War II stories, like Saving Private Ryan. This is a shame because it is excellent.
