(2013)
Director: James Plumb
Writers: James Plumb, Andrew Jones
Silent Night, Bloody Night: The Homecoming is a remake of the 1972 film Silent Night, Bloody Night. I don't really have a lot to say about this one. The plot is more or less the same as the original which I just covered yesterday. The major difference between the two is that Homecoming is just plain awful. The original Silent Night, Bloody Night fell into public domain years ago which is why the film has so many poor DVD releases. This also opened the door for just about anyone to essentially steal the plot without giving credit to the original writers and create their own version of the film. And that's exactly what Homecoming does. The audio mixing is terrible. The acting is terrible. And the film commits one of the greatest cinema-sins any movie that wants to be taken seriously can commit; it uses basic wipe transitions. Silent Night, Bloody Night: The Homecoming is an amateurish piece of trash that should only be viewed as a curiosity or a means of torture. 1/2 out of 6 beers.
