The remake of the classic 1980s horror, Silent Night, Deadly Night, is slashing its way onto UK home entertainment from StudioCanal.
You’d better watch out! You’d better not cry! You better be good! I’ll tell you why! Christmas has come very early (or a little late) for horror fans – SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT, the irresistible horror chiller from the producers of Terrifier 2 and 3, is released on Home Premiere from 26th January. Later, it will be available on Blu-ray & DVD from 2nd March. The film stars rising genre stars Rohan Campbell (The Monkey, Halloween Ends) and Ruby Modine (Happy Deathday). Moreover, this stylishly made shocker is written and directed by Mike P Nelson (Wrong Turn, V/H/S/85).
ABOUT THE FILM
A remake of the infamous 80’s Santa slasher, SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT is fresh, funny and packed with wildly inventive sequences, including a reworking of the original film’s antlers killing and a barn dance massacre that’ll make your jaw hit the floor. With a fabulous score from Blitz//Berlin (Psycho Goreman), there are also subtle nods towards horror classics, including Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. In amongst the swathe of gruesome kills and unbearable tension, there’s room for a touching romance. This is horror with a heart, albeit one with an axe sticking out of it.
CRITICAL REVIEWS
The film has received some terrific reviews, with notices like:
“Oodles of gore”, Linda Marric, The Sun
“Gruesome kills, proper suspense”, Kim Newman, Empire
“Enough glistening splatter to quench the thirst of hard-core horror fans” Damon Smith, Daily Mirror
★★★★ SciFiNow
★★★★ The Sun
I myself had a great time with the film, saying:
#SilentNightDeadlyNight is a fun, bloody and enjoyable reimagining of the 1984 slasher movie.
Rohan Campbell makes a great leading man.
The film is different to the original movie but makes it that much better.
It slayed me from beginning to end!!
You can read my full review here.
Campbell and Modine put in superb lead performances, with support from David Lawrence Brown (Orphan: First Kill), David Tomlinson (Psycho Killer), Sharon Bajer (Dark Harvest) and Mark Acheson (Brand New Cherry Flavour). Released in UK cinemas over Christmas, SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT follows in the bloody footsteps of hugely enjoyable contemporary horror favourites like Barbarian, The Monkey, Weapons and Smile 2 – being both frightening and funny, and leaving you wanting more.
THE PREMISE
SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT reimagines a 1984 cult horror classic. A young boy witnesses the murder of his parents at the hands of a man dressed as Santa, only to grow up and become a killer himself. Haunted by trauma and fuelled by a twisted sense of justice, he dons the red suit. Turning the Advent calendar into a series of nights of terror. As Christmas Eve approaches, a small town becomes his latest hunting ground, where the naughty and bad pay the ultimate price…
