Silent Night, Deadly Night

Despite being yet another slightly generic ruin-Christmas-by-killing-stuff-a-thon, this movie isn’t too bad. For a start it features one of the most awesome and genuinely unsettling scenes in bad movie history, when little Billy gets told the truth about a deranged Santa by his mentally deteriorating grandfather (seemingly portrayed by a kind of post-stroke Ernest Hemingway figure). YouTube it. The soundtrack has that retro horror vibe which makes it perfect ironic viewing when cuddled up around the Christmas tree. Just don’t let your little cousin watch with you or you might end up inadvertently being the newspaper headline as the inspiration for a budget Christmas horror movie yourself in a few years time.
