Review #317: Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)
The Twelve Slays of Christmas #3 - Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) Watch it here on YouTube! This certainly was... a movie. I've never seen this one before (there's a ton of these movies, including seemingly two different movies claiming to be Silent Night Deadly Night 6) so I didn't know exactly what to expect, but I certainly didn't expect THAT. I guess let me give a synopsis. A little kid named Billy goes with his parents on Christmas Eve on a day-long drive to deal with some paperwork at his grandfather's nursing home, and grandpa ominously warns Billy that Santa will punish him if he ever does anything naughty. Later that night, a serial killer dressed as Santa kills his father, and sexually assaults & kills his mother but leaves Billy and his infant brother alive. The boys are sent to an orphanage where Billy spends the following few years being abused by nuns, punished for witnessing a couple having sex, and forced to take part in Christmas celebrations...
