Santa Is Kicking Ass All Over

If you've read the blog before, mostly during Halloween, you'd know that I have a soft spot in my heart for a good horror movie. One of my all-time favorites is the 1984 slasher classic "Silent Night, Deadly Night" which is about a boy who's parents were murdered and grew up to be a psycho who dressed as Santa Claus and murdered anyone and everyone who got in his way. Fast forward to the year 2012 when original ideas have run dry and the remake rules all. No way they would remake a killer classic like "Silent Night, Deadly Night" right? Wrong. It's not a shot for shot remake but the plot is loosely based on the original, crazy dude in a Santa suit goes ape shit. Small town cops have to step up and save the town and Christmas. Personally, I'll stick with the original even though the new one has Malcolm McDowell in it I prefer the classics. The rebooted "Silent Night" hit the big screen a few weeks back but it didn't last long. Chances are you'll have to dig in the dollar bin to find this one.
