Cheesy as hell and hilarious, just like I like them.
I will say that one issue with this film was the choice to make us empathize with the killer, which gave me the sense that this wasn't exactly a true slasher film.
Christmas themed slashers are sort of an anomaly and i've really tried to stay away from them, so other than Black Christmas (an absolute staple of course), this was the first one I'd really watched; which is probably for the best because, other than Christmas Evil, this is the one that set the stage for all of the ones that came after, and so doubtless probably one of the best. I have heard that Christmas Evil is a bit better, so i'm looking forward to viewing that one, but Silent Night, Deadly Night is still quite enjoyable as long as you know what you're in for- nothing but cheesy eighties sleaze.

Another masterpiece from the king of horror, Charles E. Sellier Jr. The protagonists verisimilitude of Saint Nicholas provided a stark contrast with the hyper-real phantasmagoria of the orphanage. Wholly terrifying, the holidays, for me, have become synonymous with trepidation, consternation and lest we all forget, horror. This is Sellier's magnum opus.

Xmas slasher that manages to be both cheesy & creepy, as it blurs the line between victim & killer. 5/10.

Not perfectly done, but creepy and twisted! this movie should be in other horror films list instead of BadMovies's list.

Hard to believe this came out at the same time as "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and was even beating it at the box office till it got pulled after negative publicity. The only reason to watch is the unintentionally idiotic script and the sheer painful 1984-ness of it all. Punish, indeed.

A decent horror. There's just too many women's breasts in it.
