REVIEW: “Silent Night, Deadly Night” (2025)

Mike P. Nelson, the writer and director, offers a fresh take on the 1984 film. He revisits familiar characters, but dramatically changes their narratives, focusing on Billy Chapman (Rohan Campbell). When Billy was eight, he saw a disturbed man dressed as Santa Claus, named Charlie (Mark Acheson), violently kill his parents. Billy’s mother manages to seriously injure Charlie, and in the chaos, Billy touches the dying killer, with unexpected and frightening results.
