Silent Night, Bloody Night: The Homecoming (2013)

Bought this for £3.50 and it wasn't even worth that! One of the worst films I have attempted to watch. The cover and synopsis on the back left my wife and I thinking we would be in for a half decent scare-fest. We were so wrong. Acting that we spent most of our time laughing in disbelief at, overdubs that were so badly out of sync they reminded me of really bad adverts on the TV and a killer who's "menacing" voice sounded ridiculous! We are actually only 37 mins into the film as I write this and it is that bad I couldn't wait until it finished. Terrible, I can't find anything good to say about it unfortunately.

Fmovies: I agree with the other reviewer. I was also fooled by the favourable reviews on the DVD cover and the great-looking picture on the box. However, this turned out to be the equivalent of cinematic excrement. The plot doesn't make sense, the sound quality is abysmal and I have seen better acting in a pantomime. Believe me, this film makes the Friday The 13th franchise look like Citizen Kane. Don't waste your money on this film or your time by watching it. If you want to see a good Christmas-themed slasher movie, then check out Silent Night Deadly Night or the original Black Christmas. You will thank me later. This film is truly awful and only belongs in a bargain bin, but even that would be too kind a fate for this. Utter rubbish of the highest order.

I really can't even muster up the energy to write a full in depth review for this title. It was only on the off chance that I picked up this film, I looked at the awesome cover and read the synopsis and believe this had the potential to be a really good film.

I was wrong, as the saying goes; you can never judge a book by it's cover. The acting was poor, the storyline was terrible and the camera work was below that in which you would find in a soap opera.

It was obvious the budget was low but I feel more money went into the cover than that of the film. There was heaps of potential but it was never realised. Sadly and it pains me to say this, but this is one of the worst films I've ever seen. I've sat through, Freddy Got Fingered and Gigli and still they seemed so much better than this film.

British horror is dead and only seemed any good with the help of Shaun Of The Dead. Please bear in mind, this is only my opinion. One star might be harsh but two would be too kind.

I first watched this about 5 years ago and had I had an IMDB account back then I probably would have scored this 2 or 3 out of 10. However, on a second viewing it did not come across as quite as terrible as my initial opinion. The opening scene is set in 1987 and has a man driving a Ford Transit MK6 van - these didn't go into production until 2000! To make matters worse they have scribbled on the vehicle's registration plate.Not a promising start. Anyway, initial goof aside, we have a masked killer who wears black leather gloves, a touch of Italian Giallo perhaps. Bad actors are killed at regular intervals, this is what most slasher fans want and it does at least deliver on that count. Some of the deaths are pretty gory, though the effects are dirt cheap looking. The house in which the movie is largely set is very creepy looking, and I liked the out of tune piano rendition of "Silent Night". Plus we have an almost obligatory girl in the shower scene. Thankfully James Plumb directed this, which is hardly a recommendation, but producer Andrew Jones has been in the director's chair for some of the worst movies that I have ever seen. My score 4/10, perhaps a bit generous but it is the Season of Goodwill!
