- DirectorJeffrey MandelStarsDan HaggertyJulie AustinDeanna LundA woman finds she is part of a Nazi breeding experiment with elves to create supermen. She and friends are trapped in a store with an elf. Only a renegade Santa Claus can save them.This movie gets 2 extra stars just WTF value.
- DirectorMichael CooneyStarsScott MacDonaldChristopher AllportStephen MendelAfter an accident that left murderer Jack Frost dead in genetic material the vengeful killer returns as a murderous snowman to exact his revenge on the man who sent him to be executed
- DirectorYûdai YamaguchiStarsSeiko IwaidôTakamasa SugaYôko MitsuyaA murderous Santa Claus terrorizes a Christmas party at a hotel.
- DirectorJohn A. RussoStarsDebbie RochonGrant KramerJohn MowodA B-horror movie actress is stalked by a deranged fan bent on claiming her for himself.
- DirectorMisty TalleyStarsReid MillerCourtney Lauren CummingsJim KlockTrying to survive his family Christmas, Cody makes a wish to be alone, which ends up backfiring when a shark manifests and kills his entire family.This is a movie about an evil shark that acquires Christmas-themed powers from eating an evil Santa, who is brought to life from a comic book with a magic pen. Do they explain any of this? No. Do they need to explain any of this? Also no. This movie is unashamedly stupid and never pretends to be anything else. It is absolutely lovely.
(5/10) - DirectorDavid SteimanStarsBill GoldbergDouglas SmithEmilie de RavinSanta Claus is actually a demon who lost a bet with an angel, so he becomes the giver of toys and happiness. But when the bet is off, he returns to his evil ways.
- DirectorCharles E. Sellier Jr.StarsLilyan ChauvinGilmer McCormickToni NeroLittle Billy witnesses his parents getting killed by Santa after being warned by his senile grandpa that Santa punishes those who are naughty. Now Billy is 18 and out of the orphanage, and he has just become Santa himself.I'm a little surprised by how good this is for a killer Santa movie. They actually take the time to build up Billy as a character with understandable (if not believable) motivation. Which I think pays off in the end.
(7/10) - DirectorLee HarryStarsEric FreemanJames NewmanElizabeth KaitanThe now-adult Ricky talks to a psychiatrist about how he became a murderer after his brother, Billy, died, which leads back to Mother Superior.A forty-minute recap of the first one, followed by forty minutes of a much worse movie. In a genre not known for great acting, Eric Freeman's perplexing performance is the most notable aspect of this movie (5/10)
- DirectorMonte HellmanStarsSamantha ScullyBill MoseleyRichard C. AdamsThe comatose Ricky Caldwell reawakens and begins to stalk a blind woman, who he shares a psychic connection with.Silent Night, Deadly Night 3: Better Watch Out! (1989)
Better than the last one, but not in a meaningful way. Also, a disappointing performance from an actor we know can do better. At least the brain dome was kinda cool. (5/10) - DirectorBrian YuznaStarsClint HowardNeith HunterTommy HinkleyA reporter investigating the bizarre death of a woman who leaped from a building in flames finds herself mixed up in a cult of witches who are making her part of their sacrificial ceremony during the Christmas season.Cut from the tenuous ties to the first film, this is just a surprisingly good occult horror film that happens to be set around Christmas time. Honestly, it deserves better than being a cheap sequel in name only (7/10)
- DirectorMartin KitrosserStarsWilliam ThorneJane HigginsonVan QuattroAn elderly toy maker and his son make killer toys designed to kill their customers' children.A weirdly-offputting killer toy movie. Also naming characters Joe Petto and Pino was more than a bit on the nose. The only connection to the rest of the series is a brief cameo by Clint Howard. (5/10)
- DirectorWilliam LustigStarsWilliam SmithDavid 'Shark' FralickChristopher OgdenDesert Storm vet who was killed in combat rises from the grave on July Fourth, to kill the unpatriotic citizens of his hometown, after some teens burn an American flag over his burial site.Essentially a 4th-of-July-themed slasher movie. Not the best option for theming, but they have fun with it. Also manages to provide some unexpected commentary on blind patriotism and the fetishization of war. The kid is annoying as hell though.
(6/10) - DirectorLewis JacksonStarsBrandon MaggartJeffrey DeMunnDianne HullA toy factory worker, mentally scarred as a child upon learning Santa Claus is not real, suffers a nervous breakdown after being belittled at work, and embarks on a Yuletide killing spree.A slightly above average holiday slasher that actually goes to the effort of building itself around a character, their motivations, escalating tensions, and quickly deteriorating mental state, rather than just a series of events. (6/10)
