Any one will do for me. I truly believe these movies tap into everyone’s secret fear that they are going to kill their visiting relatives. A lot of people were upset at the Santa-masked killer in SNDN - like Leonard Maltin said at the time, “what’s next, the easter bunny as child molester?” Sure Leonard, way to spoil DONNIE DARKO. [...] [...] There’s also a surprising number of Christmas themed serial-killer films (well, maybe YOU’RE surprised) such as SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT and BLACK CHRISTMAS. Any one will do for me.

That by itself makes me want to see this. Santa for Catholics is just about as revered as the Easter Bunny: it would be like a Jewish rabbi beating his kid for not respecting Optimus Prime! “Billy and his little brother are then sent to live in an orphanage run by an abusive nun, Mother Superior, who punishes Billy quite severely for not respecting Santa on Christmas Eve.”

Why, you ask, is it looked down upon so? Probably because it doesn’t have Jason in it. Much like how Halloween III lacked Michael Myers or Silent Night, Deadly Night IV omitted the killer Santa Claus, when a franchise makes a movie lacking the one aspect people recognize and appreciate most, fans aren’t going to be happy.

It’s a real shame Black Christmas never caught on with the mainstream and when most people think of a “Christmas-time horror movie” all they can come up with is Silent Night, Deadly Night. This is a very well-made, if often overlooked horror film, perfect for the holiday season. Worthy of an A.
