Silent Night Deadly Night is one of the worst horror movies I have ever seen. Definitely a far below average slasher movie that even makes the cheesiest 80s slashers look like masterpieces. This movie does not deserve the recognition it has and should be left forgotten. The only reason why it was remembered in the first place is because of the controversy it initially caused. Best to be avoided, and don't bother with any of the sequels or the 2012 remake (Silent Night) either. They're just as bad, if not worse.
For a good Christmas themed horror movie, watch Black Christmas (1974) instead.
