Although Rotten Tomatoes didn’t exist during the peak of slasher films in the 1980s, reviews for those movies – and their many sequels – have gradually been added to the site.

This Friday, Cineverse is releasing a reimagining of the 1980s slasher film, Silent Night, Deadly Night, written and directed by Mike P. Nelson and starring Rohan Campbell.

The original movie was followed by a sequel, Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2, which has gained a cult following.

After the first sequel, three more Silent Night, Deadly Night movies were made, but they weren’t well-received. In fact, they don’t even have a rating on Rotten Tomatoes because so few people reviewed them. Silent Night, Deadly Night 3: Better Watch Out! only has four negative reviews, and Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation and Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker each have just three. (Part 4 has one positive review, while Part 5 has two.) A 2012 remake, simply titled Silent Night, received a low 62
Overall, the Silent Night, Deadly Night series doesn’t hold up well compared to other horror franchises. However, the positive reception to the 2025 revival suggests either the filmmakers are on the right track, or critics are finally appreciating this unique brand of holiday horror.
Silent Night, Deadly Night premieres in theaters on December 12.
