I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Sadly Over-hyped

Just perfect...

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

"Silent Night, Bloody Night" is a frustrating film. It manages to set a great mood--chilling and brutal. Yet, it then seems to lose so much momentum late in the film--and left me feeling totally uninterested.When the film begins, you learn that a rich guy died 20 years ago under mysterious circumstances. In the meantime, his home has sat abandoned until recently when his son declares that he's going to sell the place. Soon after his attorney arrives in town to finalize the deal, folks start getting hacked to pieces (the first few are amazingly realistic). All this worked well. However, to explain who it was and how it was, the film had a HUGE and awkward flashback sequence that seemed to take up the last third of the movie!! Surely all this could have been done in a much more straight forward and less sloppy manner. And, as a result the film left me wondering if perhaps a re-write might have resulted in this becoming a much more popular and worthy movie. As it is, I'd only recommend it to die-hard horror fans or folks wanting to see a young Mary Waronov in a major role.

Pittsburgh's CHILLER THEATER, hosted by Bill "Chilly Billy" Cardille, aired 1972's "Silent Night, Bloody Night" once, with 1943's "Son of Dracula," on May 7 1977, and was a title I never forgot (although scheduled for September 26 1981, they substituted 1973's "It Happened at Nightmare Inn" in its place). I'm still fascinated by this eerie horror classic, which has frequently earned scorn from viewers frustrated by the poor quality prints that include the Paragon video copyrighted 1982. My current DVD is proof that the filmmakers are not to blame for the darkness inherent in these dupes (if you cannot read the opening credits, it's a bad copy). The plot line is quite complex, and the solution may seem far fetched at first glance, but patient audiences will be amply rewarded, especially on repeat viewings. Although the entire film is told in flashback, the principal storyline takes place in one single, 24 hour period (presumably Christmas Eve), and many great horror films like "Halloween" follow this same format. John Carradine, sadly reduced to playing a mute role, still demonstrates a solid screen presence in one of the better horror outings of his final decades. Patrick O'Neal enjoys top billing as a big city lawyer dallying with his lovely assistant while his wife and daughter remain home for the holidays. There was an excellent website devoted to this underrated gem, but it seems to have closed down in 2010. Director Theodore Gershuny only did two other features, 1970's "Kemek" and 1973's "Sugar Cookies," with his then-wife Mary Woronov appearing in all three (he died in 2007). Co-writer-producer Jeffrey Konvitz later scripted and produced another horror feature that pretty much wasted John Carradine, 1976's "The Sentinel." Filmed on Long Island with a mostly New York cast, and the final screen credit for Astrid Heeren (two prior features), Candy Darling and Tony Award-winning actor James Patterson.

I enjoyed this and did not guess the killer. That is always a good thing. The film obviously was made on a very, very slim budget, the night scenes are almost impossible to see. In a film like this, that can be good and bad. There was potential here for a real old fashioned early 1970's Gothic thriller. It has its moments, and you can see the potential is there. The director had some good ideas, and several scenes are memorable. But the cheap budget does hurt. The performances by Mary Woronov and James Patterson are perfect for this kind of film. Patterson always intrigued me, you cannot really find anything about this very interesting actor who died very young. I know he won a Tony award, did a lot of stage work, appeared in two interesting Mission Impossible episodes, and died either while filming this movie, or shortly afterward. He was only 40 and apparently had terminal cancer. He reminds me a an early version of Robert Davi in appearance, and could have had a good career as a character actor had he lived. I wish we could find out more about him. The film does mislead somewhat in listing Patrick O'Neal and John Carradine as stars. I am not sure what Carradine is even doing in the film, and O'Neal is not in it for very long. All in all, though, I enjoyed this film.

Folks who enter an old mansion in the New England countryside are being killed by an unknown assailant. Who is the killer and just what do the strange locals know about it?Silent Night, Bloody Night is a prime example of a low-budget horror film that overcomes its B movie boundaries to become a genuinely good chiller. The story is a compelling one that builds good mystery and suspense. It reaches a revelation that is truly twisted and dark. There's some effectively shocking moments of fright to be enjoyed and several creepy sequences - particularly the black and white flashback toward the finale. The film has a strong eerie atmosphere with its dark setting, subtle music score, and gritty film stock appearance. The song Silent Night proves to be surprisingly chilling as the films theme song. It's not a flawless film though. The performances of the cast are at times uneven and the films narration does get murky at times. However the strengths do override the weaknesses and Silent Night, Bloody Night emerges as one of the first and most effectively disturbing holiday horror films out there. Well worth seeing horror fans!*** out of ****
