In an era dominated by remakes and requels, Silent Night, Deadly Night returns not as a hollow exercise in nostalgia, but as a slasher that understands both its legacy and its controversy. Originally released in 1984 to intense backlash, the film has long occupied a strange place in horror history—reviled by some, embraced by genre fans. This new iteration doesn’t shy away from that baggage; instead, it reworks the story with intention, justifying its existence through bold narrative choices and a clear affection for the slasher tradition.
Despite bigger action and scarier set pieces, this sequel short-circuits where it matters most: compelling writing and character investment. Read our full review now of ‘FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S 2’
