Plot:
Silent
Night starts with the
sequence where a man wearing the dress of Santa Clause wears a mask.
He then kills a man who is tied to a chair.
Next,
on the morning of the Christmas, the deputy sheriff Aubrey
gets up from her bed by the call of the sheriff. The sheriff asks her
to join the duty, as they are low on manpower. Aubrey tries to avoid
it, as she has lost someone close recently and it is the first
Christmas after that, so it is a special day for her. But after the sheriff's
pressure, she agrees to come to her office.
The
mysterious Santa Clause next kills a little girl who behaves
very badly with her mother. After reaching to her office, Aubrey
hears that another deputy is missing, and the rumor is, he has ran
away taking another man's
wife with him.
Aubrey
hears a report about a man making the children cry and she goes to
investigate it. She then finds a man who is spreading depressing
messages among kids about Christmas. She warns that man. Following
another report, she goes to house and finds the first victim of the
killer, dead. It is the deputy sheriff who was missing. She also
finds the body of his girlfriend in that house. Being inexperienced,
Aubrey cannot handle the situation properly. Then the sheriff reaches
there. He tells Aubrey that
they are on their own in this case, they have no other help in this
vacation.
The killer then kills two ladies and a man who are involved in making soft porn. In the police station, the sheriff and the deputies try to find a suspect and to stop the killer. They are desperate for some clues. Meanwhile, the killer kills the perverted father of the local church. Aubrey finds a suspect who somehow matches with the killer's profile, but before she can arrest him, he runs away. From that man, Aubrey learns the story of a man who killed his wife (who was cheating on him) and he is now killing people on every Christmas Eve on a different town.
Aubrey has some arguments with the
sheriff about the identity of the killer. Next, while the sheriff is
informing the mayor about the killings, the killer kills the mayor.
Then the killer kills the mayor's daughter and her boyfriend.
Aubrey finds her suspect again, but
this time she kills him. Then she finds a common sign given by the
killer to his victims. Following the sign, she finds her father dead
in her home. The sheriff also has that sign, and to kill him, the
killer Santa Clause attacks the police station.
My reviews about the movie Silent
Night:
Silent Night seemed like just an
average horror movie.
The plot was good, but nothing special.
It was something that we have seen in a lot of horror movies. The
ending and the identity of the killer in Silent Night was something a
little different from regular horror thrillers, but still no big
surprise. The direction and screenplay was good.
There was a little mismatch in the plot of
Silent Night. That is, how the killer managed to carry all those
weapons with him all those times, and how he could know the 'sins' of
all his victims didn't seem realistic.
The acting of the main characters were
also good. The make ups and the dialogues were good too, but nothing
extraordinary. Most of the killing scenes of Silent Night looked
realistic. The music, the lighting and the camera works also looked
good.
Silent Night has used several dark
humors and they were also not bad.
There was some nude scenes and a lot of
gore scenes in the movie Silent Night, so in no way you should watch
this one with kids. Moreover, this film can give a wrong message to
children about Christmas.
So, finally, I enjoyed watching Silent
Night, but not much. Watching it will not give you any extra good
experience than other regular horror movies. I'll recommend this
movie to you only if you are a big fan of horror movies with a lot of
gore scenes. Otherwise, skipping Silent Night will not be a big miss.
Ending Explanation of Silent Night:
This part contains spoiler, so I've
written it in white font. If you have watched Silent Night and
curious about the ending, select the below part by dragging you mouse
to read the ending explanation.
Remember the story Aubrey heard from
her suspect whom she killed later on? On one Christmas Eve, a man
killed his wife with a flamethrower who was cheating on him. At the
end of Silent Night, we see the cops arrived at that scene and killed
that man. One of those cops' son was sitting in a car nearby and his
father was killed by fire after shooting that man. Seeing his father
killed this way, the son becomes maniac and he is the killer in
Santa Clause's disguise.
Also, at the end of Silent Night, we
see the killer's musk was burning on the police station's floor
without anyone around it, and then we saw a man with burnt face, that
indicates that the killer is alive and he will kill more people in
future.
So, how did you like Silent Night?
