Silent Night, Deadly Night

Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)
Dir: Charles E. Sellier Jr.

A tormented teenager goes on a murderous rampage dressed as Santa Claus.
Average slasher film that was quite controversial when it was first released. After the creepy opening the film starts to struggle, with only a couple of gory deaths saving it from being totally forgettable. The winter setting provides some good imagery, but it pales in comparison to the far superior 'Black Christmas'.
