Silent Night, Bloody Night

Summary: Family Issues..
Review: SILENT NIGHT BLOODY NIGHT concerns an old house that used to be a mental institution. In 1935 (on christmas eve), the "inmates" were released to murder their tormenting captors. In 1973, someone is killing people again, someone connected to the house and it's evil history. Why are certain victims being selected? What is their connection to that awful day in '35? John Carradine is one of those stalked by the insane killer. A surprising amount of gore will thrill gorehounds. No nudity or profanity. A nice twist near the end. Better than fruitcake for christmas...

Review: This is one I remeber watching on our old B&W when I was a kid. To see it on DVD uncut was great, except for the transfer which at times is hard to watch. This is not your run-of-the-mill slasher flick but a more complex shocker that keeps you guessing and please watch this with someone, as you will be looking over your shoulder after it ends. This film is worth the seven bucks, I would definitly buy a better version from Anchor Bay if they ever made a copy. Hint, Hint.

Summary: Silent night, bogus night.
Review: This movie is very very very bad. I usually dig B movies that have some redeeming qualities but this one was totally unwatchable. The print used for this transfer is equally lousy. Usually diamond releases aren't the best but for a bargain price they usually look pretty, but not this one. I'm glad they didn't put too much effort into this release or they'd be wasting their time. Sometimes to get these inexpensive prices thought they have to find movies that have become public domain. Okay, well, I usually give a synopsis so I'll do that, but not a long one. (Hey, it's not like this was a classic anyway.) This guy sees some other guy dressed as Santa doing perverted things with his mommy when he's a kid. When he grows up they send him to a nut house. He escapes and dresses up like Santa and goes around killing just about everyone you're introduced to in this movie. The novelty of a murdeous Santa Claus wears off in approximately 1.5 minutes. If you're a DVD collector just buying every extremely cheap DVD is the only reason I can think of to buy this movie. It's very boring and it gets dull too quick.

Summary: Silent Night , Sort of Bloody night
Review: This was an interesting film that was par for the time it was made. The filming was sort of interesting especially when showing the view of the serial killer(The First person view sort of speak). The story was pretty good yet a tad over the top but as you know most horror films are a bit over the top. There is one really bloody scene at the beggining of the film that was graphic but after that don't espect too much blood. I thought this scene was done well and pretty graphic even for today's times. The music in this film is a bit hokey on certain parts but not too bad. The acting was not horrible but it was'nt great either. The part of the film that really stands out to me is the flashback scene. This really made the film spooky. The strange filming it used and the crazy story it explaned helped me like the movie alot more than I otherwise would have. The dvd version I saw came in a four horror film pack called horror classic's. I thought the sound could have been improved and certain scenes could have been transfered more clearly to the dvd but I guess I should just be glad it was even made into dvd format. Overall I think the film is worth a watch or two late at night.

Summary: I think this movie goes backwards in time
Review: Whoh boy. I like to think of this slow-going movie as the sequel that Manos "The Hands of Fate" never had. No Torgo or anything, but it meanders in the same way, and looks to be shot in the same over-exposed home video style. There's a house for sale, and a killer loose, and a whole bunch of lackluster characters just waiting to die. You've got two different narrators, and its kinda difficult to decide which sounds the most detatched and constipated. There are a few axe splatter-jobs faintly similar to the Madman Marz murders from Madman, a whole lot of screaming, and then, my favorite part, the closing credits.
