Reviewing the best (and worst) of horror, sci-fi and fantasy since 2000


Silent Night, Deadly Night III: Better Watch Out (1989)
Second sequel sees the return of the killer Santa Ricky Caldwell, only this time he doesn't get to dress up. Or talk. Or do anything remotely cool.

Silent Night, Zombie Night (2009)
It's a generic low budget zombie film only set at Christmas. Allegedly. Shouldn't it have snow and stuff?
Dec 21, 2025


Elves (1989)
Truly one of the most awful Christmas-themed horror films to have been made but its a car crash of ideas that is strangely compelling.
Dec 21, 2025


Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 (1987)
This should be titled Part 1 and a 1/2 as forty minutes of it are flashbacks from the original.
Oct 29, 2025


Black Christmas (2006)
Mean-spirited remake is a better slasher than the original but fails to recapture the atmosphere and tone.
Aug 10, 2025


Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)
The ultimate Santa slasher caused quite a stir when it was released in 1984.
Aug 1, 2025


To All a Goodnight (1980)
Early Santa slasher is about as welcome an entry in the sub-genre as a sack of coal on Christmas Day.
Aug 29, 2022


Don't Open Till Christmas (1984)
Mean-spirited and grim British-made horror which does little to get you in the mood for the festive season.
Aug 1, 2022


Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker (1991)
Christmas horrors don't come more bizarre than this fifth instalment of the Silent Night, Deadly Night series.
