This re-imagining of the infamous Santa slasher is what a remake should be: a clever twist on the original story while preserving the spirit of the original. Rohan Campbell and Ruby Modine are great together and the laughs are as big as the bodycount.

Rated: 3.75/5

Fans of the franchise will appreciate the fresh take, but purists may long for the grittier tone of the 1984 version.

Silent Night, Deadly Night is a fiendish and fun-filled remake that uses the good and leaves out the bad from the original, while taking the franchise in a wildly inventive new direction.

Rated: 3/5

What makes this movie so much fun is the fact that it takes what the original sets up and does something new and refreshing with it.

Rated: 4/5

Not all of its swings work, but it’s actually trying to be more than a carbon-copy cash grab of the original, and for that, it deserves a lot of credit.

Rated: 6/10

It coasts on the idea that seeing a person killing people as Santa Claus with an axe is enough, especially if there’s a very loose story around it with a hint of character motivation. But it’s not.
