The original Silent Night Deadly Night is not a well-made film. But I’ll be damned if it’s not an entertaining schlocky masterpiece. A creepy grandpa in a mental institution, a young boy watching a couple having sex (before getting caught by a nun), and clever deaths involving the happy holiday (deer antlers!) all make for some memorable scenes in a “so bad its good” slasher that would make an excellent pairing with Pieces; another film that must be seen to be believed. The reputation Silent Night Deadly Night has for being an offensive and mean-spirited horror film has simmered quite a bit since the film first appeared in 1984. Led by the Catholic church and an offended Siskel and Ebert, controversy over the film spawned teens to flock to the theater to see it instead of a little horror film that was released the same day called A Nightmare on Elm St. »
