Silent Night (I) (2012)
1/10
A Modern Remake of Silent Night, Deadly Night is a Huge Mess
4 November 2015
Warning: Spoilers
In 1984, Silent Night, Deadly Night was a success cause controversy because angry parents didn't like see a killer Santa Claus in a horror movie.It a overrated movie, but still is a O.K. picture. A remake was release in 2012, make many mistakes like a very boring and sad main character, Aubrey Bradimore and others not likable characters.

Other major issue in modern remake of classic horror, wasted too much time explain their reasons for being villains. Should waste time in creating a very good bad guy that explain him. Reason that most of people like villains in horror because they are played by good actors or actresses in a good history which is full of suspenseful scenes and likable supporting characters.

After watching ending, i was confused because history of killer is that he saw his dad being killing by a police officer, father of main character, because movie shows son having a burn scars that doesn't make sense he wasn't burn in face,that happened to his father not himself. Other thing, why killer kill random people before killing man who killed his daddy?

Reason that make his father want to kill everyone who being bad in Christmas because his wife is cheating and leaving him. Original gives a much better explanation,Billy saw his parents being killing and was abused by nuns for years,they always keep says to him that doing bad things is wrong and that why is being punched that why is killing people who is doing bad things.

If you wanna see a good Christmas horror movies, watch Black Christmas(1974),Christmas Evil(1980)and original Silent Night, Deadly Night(1984).
