Silent Night, Deadly Night remake has a trailer
Silent Night, Holy Night, all is calm, everyone is dead from axes. You know that old Christmas song! MERRY NEARLY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! Have you got your stockings and your tree and your mince pies and your iPods and your ribbons yet? No?! Well then you better get down to the shops pronto because apparently Christmas has arrived. How do we know? Because a trailer for the remake of kitsch 80s horror Silent Night, Deadly Night is now in existence. Starring Jaime King and Malcolm McDowell, the remake – simply titled Silent Night because people have shorter attention spans these days – tells the story of a town terrorised by a murderer in a Santa suit, who starts taking out the “Naughty” people with extreme prejudice.
So check out the trailer for Silent Night and see what you think:
Weirdly, we do think this could be good fun. It’s got enough of a silly air to it to make it tongue in cheek and the creepy Santa mask/barmy inclusion of Malcolm McDowell is cool. Plus, lots of inventive killing, which will probably be an improvement upon the original Silent Night, Deadly Night in which it was mainly people getting shot with handguns:
Thank you for posting these trailers, Florence. I just learned about the remake, and I had never seen the trailer for the original, so these are both new to me. I have a weekly contest with a few of my coworkers from DISH, to see who can find the best/worst movies of the week, and this week is a holiday edition. I was thinking about getting the original Silent Night, Deadly Night, but I just saw that my DISH Blockbuster @Home rental service had the remake available. I just added it to my queue, and Blockbuster ships very quickly, so I should have it just in time for this weekend’s viewing party. I might rent the original too, just for sake of comparison.
