By Fallen TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 4 Dec. 2009
Format: DVD
A very enjoyable Christmas themed slasher from 1984 where a psychologically disturbed Santa attired killer stalks a small town punishing the 'naughty' and generally dispatching anyone else who gets in his way.
The film begins in 1971 and charts the disturbing events which ultimately explain the rationale behind the killer Claus. After a creepy encounter with his grandfather in a psychiatric asylum and after witnessing the barbaric massacre of his parents on the way home perpetrated by a Father Xmas donned criminal, the traumatised young boy is placed in a Catholic orphanage presided over by a tyrannical nun. The nun reinforces his fear/hatred of wrongdoers through the physical and mental abuse he experiences combined with the reinforcing of Santa as arbiter of punishing the 'wicked' Cue a number of slayings years later one Christmas Eve beginning in the toy shop where he works after being coerced into masquerading as the store Santa. Allied with his prior conditioning and trauma this sets him over the edge.
It is a very good 80's slasher in the vein of 'Friday 13th' 'Happy Birthday to me' etc. It is done on a budget so obviously the special effects reflect this. There is a 30 min approx audio interview with the director and an interesting booklet providing hysterical quotes from advocates of banning this film upon its cinematic release in the States as well as a written question and answer interview with the director and a good bio of Linnea Quigley, a soft porn 'scream queen' who appeared in this as well as other similar films.
Only whilst watching this did I realise I'd seen it before but for some reason had forgotten it or maybe didn't like it at the time.

REVIEWED VERSION: 2009 Arrow Video UK DVD (Unrated version)

Director: Charles E. Sellier Jr.

Cast: Robert Wilson, Lilyan Chauvin, Gilmer McCormick, Toni Nero, Linnea Quigley

Production: US 1984

SYNOPSIS

Billy (Danny Wagner) has to watch his parents being murdered by a thief in a Santa Claus costume, deeply traumatizing him. He spends ten years in an orphanage lead by Mother Superior (Lilyan Chauvin).
At age 18 he is "released: and gets a job at a local toy store. When he is forced to dress up in a Santa outfit, he snaps and starts going on a murderous rampage.

THE PROS & CONS

SILENT NIGHT, DEALY NIGHT is a good slasher film, and one of the most controversial films of the 80s. What sets it apart from other films in the genre - and caused an uproar by the easily offended - is the refreshingly different setting (Christmas) and the killer (Santa). While this will certainly not be to everyone's liking, the easily offended and children should keep their distance from SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT.
The PTA fought hard to have the film removed from theaters due to its subject matter and the fact that it was shown around Christmas. There were several protests in front of movie theaters nationwide and TriStar Pictures eventually withdrew the film, only to be re-released by another distributor in the spring of 1986.
In the UK the film was not submitted to the BBFC until 2009, but the first sequel was denied a certificate in 1987 after the distributors refused to make the cuts.
It is not hard to see why this film caused such controversy at its release, but now, 30 years later, this film should not shock anyone anymore.

On Christmas Eve, 1971. Five-year-old Billy and his baby brother are taken to visit their grandfather at the mental institution. His grandfather has been in a catatonic state for a long time, when Billy is left alone with him, he suddenly turns to Billy and tells him all about how Santa Claus will punish anyone that hasn't been good all year round. As his parents return, his grandfather returns to his catatonic state. Later on that night as they're driving home, his parents pull over to help out a man dressed as Santa who appears to have broken down on the side of the road. The man pulls out a gun and shoots Billy's father and drags his mother out of the car, Billy runs away and hides behind some bushes where he witnesses the attempted rape and murder of his his mother. Three years later, Billy and his younger brother Ricky are living at St. Mary's Orphanage run by a strict Mother Superior. Still tormented by what he witnessed three years earlier, he's punished when he draws a picture of Santa killing one of his reindeer. He's sent to his room but Sister Margaret tells him that it's okay to go outside and play with the others, on his way out he hears sounds from a bedroom and then spies through the keyhole at a young couple having sex. The Mother Superior catches him and tells him that bad things require punishment, he's been bad so needs to be punished and punishment is good. Ten years pass and Billy has just turned eighteen and Sister Margaret gets him a job at Ira's Toy Store, everything is going well until Christmas time rolls around. When the person who normally wears the Santa costume doesn't show up, Billy is asked to wear the costume. Later that night at the Christmas party, he witnesses a co-worker getting a bit heavy handed with the girl he likes.Read more ›
