Joe Leydon Variety Apart from some modestly inventive carnage and an undeniably humorous hambone turn by Malcolm McDowell, there's really nothing here to make genre fans dash through the snow (or maneuver through traffic) to megaplexes. Dec 3, 2012 Full Review Nick Pinkerton Village Voice Fans of nearly nude women being fed into wood chippers will not go home disappointed (except, very likely, in their hollow lives.) Nov 30, 2012 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times The movie's intended audience will likely be satisfied by its parade of gory mayhem, cheap thrills and groan-worthy dark humor. Everyone else: You're on your own. Rated: 3/5 Nov 30, 2012 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh While it might look a bit more polished than the original 1984, there's nothing deeper than surface-level sleaze. Rated: 2/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed By no means a masterpiece, but it's a damn good time with a great villain who spares no one... Dec 23, 2012 Full Review Christian Toto Big Hollywood Santa slasher flick sticks to genre template while Jaime King works overtime to make us care about the person gunning for ol' St. Nick. Rated: 2/4 Dec 4, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Liam D An vast improvement over the original Silent Night Deadly Night but an enjoyable slasher all by itself Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Fleegle B I love this movie it's so enjoyable Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Jay H Equal parts boring and stupid. The movie has a blue tint to make you think it takes place in a cold Winter, but it's obvious it was filmed in a warm climate. The dialogue is bad, the kills are uninspired... it stinks. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/23/23 Full Review Audience Member ya know what? i didn't hate it. i saw a few other reviews that said this was a remake? i guess I'll have to find the original, because even though the dialog/acting was absolutely atrocious, i really loved the santa/kill scenes. overall I'm not sad i watched it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Silent Night is not a remake to the original deadly night the writing is so bad and naughty and it felt like Hallmark Christmas holiday film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/22 Full Review R P Decided to put on a nice little Christmas horror and Silent Night is what I chose. Boy, am I glad i did. This is a fun, gory flick with Malcolm McDowell and Jaime King. We get kills, boobs, and a killer Santa Claus that doesn't hold back.
