Horror

When your nightmare ends, the real terror begins!

Ricky Caldwell, the notorious 'Killer Santa Claus', awakens from a six-year coma after being kept alive on life-support by a slightly crazed doctor experimenting with ESP and other special abilities. Ricky targets a young, clairvoyant blind woman, named Laura, whom is traveling with her brother Chris, and his girlfriend Jerri to their grandmother's house for Christmas Eve, and Ricky decides to go after her, leaving a trail of dead bodies in his wake.

Ever have one of those movies that makes it so difficult not to be all negative in the review? Where it’s hard to find anything positive? Meet Silent Night Deadly Night 3 Better Watch Out! I’m sorry but Bill Moseley and Robert Culp can’t save this movie. I mean, they tried to do something different with the whole psychic link, but no. Just no. This is so bad. And not the “so bad it’s good” kind of cheesy movie. I vaguely remember watching it a long time ago but didn’t remember it. Now I know why I didn’t remember it. The kills, for the most part, are off screen and the after effect is bad as well. Little to no blood or gore. I mean, Ricky has a nice little glass bowl on his head with his brain in it. And It looks like his brain is in some liquid that looks like red Kool-Aid. The acting is kind of dismal as well. Bill Moseley only gets to walk around like Frankenstein or a zombie without really saying much other than “Laura”. I can’t blame him though, it’s more the script’s fault. Robert Culp didn’t have much to do in this movie. Most of the time he’s talking as he’s driving. This is what irritates me the most. The plot. It had such potential. But they dropped so many plotlines. The idea of the psychic link between Ricky and Laura being better explored would have been a better movie than what we got. Kills/Blood/Gore: 1/5 Sex/Nudity: 1/5 Scare factor: 1/5 Enjoyment factor: 1.5/5 My Rank: 1.5/5
