Unmistakably banal and pointless

"You see Santa Claus tonight you better run boy, you better run for ya life!"

Due to its premise concerning an axe-wielding serial killer dressed in a Santa Claus outfit, Silent Night, Deadly Night stirred up quite a ruckus when it hit cinema screens back in 1984. Most notably, renowned critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert positively detested it, calling the film both irresponsible t... read more

Films and the critics who hate them (741 movies items)

"This was obviously not new territory for the slasher genre, mind you, but Silent Night, Deadly Night brought the idea to new levels of cold sleaziness. - Eric Henderson, Slant Magazine Not only is the movie vile and callous, but also it's pretty darn stupid. - John A. Nesbit, Old School Reviews A brutal reminder that Christmas can have negative connotations for some. - Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid The perfect stocking stuffer for misanthropic Scrooges. - Keith Breese, Filmcr"

Santa Claus in Movies: The Naughty & Nice (15 movies items)

" Robert Brian Wilson, "Silent Night, Deadly Night." What says Christmas like a movie about a kid who sees his parents killed by a guy in a Santa suit, and then starts raping and killing people while dressed as Santa? Oh, yeah, deck the halls with filmic folly. Aside from the movie not being any good, one wonders what Santa Claus ever did to the filmmakers to deserve this."

Bml93's Film Diary for 2012 (272 movies items)

""You see Santa Claus tonight you better run boy, you better run for ya life!" @ DVD Pretty darn stupid and not enjoyable in any way, oddly enough. The main problem about this film is that it takes itself far to seriously. Judging by the premise of this film, this should be a fun slasher film. It's not. Because it takes itself to seriously by trying to get under the skin of the killer. The first half of this film is a tremendous bore, devoted to exposition, explaining every detail about the kil"
