Julian S @akajulianscott 11/26/2024 It nails the chills, but a sloppy transfer drags it down. See more TheDark N 06/03/2024 I watched this on Saturday night as a student on Elvira after midnight Movie Macabre. I really paid attention and found the movie overall pretty impressive: an unknown axe murderer, an interesting romance, good music, the creepy haunted house. The best part was the B&W scene of the inmates escaping the asylum and torturing the rich/spoiled ruling staff. It was pretty good overall and reminds me of a more innocent time pre-internet where we could focus on movies and take our time. I still watch this regularly on YouTube when its cloudy or late night and I need entertainment. Good job! See more 12/25/2020 Dragged down by a poor transfer and one too many scenes shot in almost total darkness, Silent Night, Bloody Night's 1970 filming date and use of certain camera techniques and plot devices at least earns the dour picture its proto-slasher pedigree. Also distinctive for its strange dialogue delivered in an exceedingly deliberate, near lifeless style by its actors, Theodore Gershuny does manage to create a uniformly unsettling vibe and cobble together some oddly captivating scenes. However, even a new restoration may not be enough to overcome the flick's sloth-like pace, convoluted plot, and almost total lack of fun. See more steve d 07/16/2020 Really slow horror film with no scares. See more 06/28/2016 1970's slasher flick is no better or worse than many, many others of its era. See more 12/20/2014 Pretty cool christmas slasher/who-done-it, but towards the end it introduced too much unrelated and confusing storyline. See more Read all reviews
