A very short review of “Silent Night” (2012).

I wrote this review three years ago; Donal Logue’s career is alive and well today in “Gotham.”  And, yes, I do get that this is a remake/homage to 1984’s “Silent Night, Deadly Night.”   *****

“Silent Night” (2012) is a fair slasher film, distinguished only by Malcolm McDowell, Jaime King and Donal Logue, whose talents would have been better invested elsewhere. I can only give this a 5 out of 10 at best – it’s more or less a B movie that can provide a late night horror movie fix if there’s nothing else on.

Where has the wonderful Donal Logue’s career gone? He’s funny as hell, and even “Grounded for Life” wasn’t too bad a tv show. A friend and I were asking the same thing about his even better “Blade” (1998) co-star, Stephen Dorff.
