But with the streets full of Santas for the annual Christmas parade, the killer is hiding in plain sight. He's made his list, checked it twice, and the naughty are going to pay with their lives.

Critic Reviews
-
Joe Leydon, Variety
Apart from some modestly inventive carnage and an undeniably humorous hambone turn by Malcolm McDowell, there's really nothing here to make genre fans dash through the snow (or maneuver through traffic) to megaplexes.
-
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
Fans of nearly nude women being fed into wood chippers will not go home disappointed (except, very likely, in their hollow lives.)
-
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
The movie's intended audience will likely be satisfied by its parade of gory mayhem, cheap thrills and groan-worthy dark humor. Everyone else: You're on your own.
-
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
This brisk reimagining of the 1984 slasher "Silent Night, Deadly Night" delivers the seasonal goods with admirable efficiency and not a little wit.
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
This unimaginative remake of Silent Night, Deadly Night continues the trend of mediocre remakes of '80s era horror films.
