Silent Night, Deadly Night Collection Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman December 10, 2022

There's been a lot of bandwidth utilized lately to deride so-called "cancel culture", but if anyone thinks this is somehow a new phenomenon, look no further than what happened after the first Silent Night, Deadly Night was released back in 1984. As some of the commentaries in this new aggregation featuring the third, fourth and fifth films in the series get into, the backlash was so extreme that the film had to be pulled from theaters, and it found its most significant presence in the exciting "new" technology of VHS. In that regard, all three of these "films" were straight to video releases, and as such they often are less than fulsomely budgeted and might not have the tippy tippy top of marquee value stars in their casts.

Silent Night, Deadly Night Collection Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Christmastime is often suffused with nostalgia, and for a certain demographic there's probably going to be nothing more nostalgic than visiting these relics of the VHS age. Technical merits are a bit variable, but as usual the Vestron Video imprint has aggregated some appealing supplements, for anyone who may be considering making a purchase.
