“I would like to hear the filmmakers explain to their
children and their grandchildren that it’s only a movie.” — Roger
Ebert
Santa Claus is coming to town . . . and this
time he’s got an axe! Community leaders tried to stop it. The P.T.A. fought to
ban it. Now, one of the most controversial slasher films of all time is back in
a new restoration from the original camera negative. SILENT NIGHT,
DEADLY NIGHT is the demented story of little Billy Chapman,
traumatized by his parents’ Christmas Eve murder and then brutalized by
sadistic nuns in an orphanage. When Billy grows up and dresses as Santa, he
goes on a yuletide rampage to punish the naughty with extreme prejudice. Robert
Brian Wilson and Linnea Quigley (NIGHT OF THE
DEMONS) star in this harrowing horror classic that continues to ruffle the
feathers of angry parents and stuffy critics over thirty years later. (USA,
1984, 84 min., color, DCP | Charles E. Sellier, Jr.)
