Movie Review | Silent Night, Bloody Night (Gershuny, 1972)

Mild spoilers in the second paragraph.

If you're looking for a Christmas horror movie, this certainly fits the bill. As far as the Christmas goes, there's some pretty nice lighting, in or away from the presence of Christmas lights, while the interior scenes have a very cozy brown look, let's call it the Hot Cocoa aesthetic, the kind of colour scheme you just want to curl up in. As far as the horror goes, the violence is surprisingly gnarly, more blood and severed limbs than you'd expect. So the movie certainly does justice to the second part of the title, with all the blood and what have you, but maybe not the first part, given all the screaming in pain characters do as they're being killed.

After we see a man burned to death in flashback, the plot moves to a lawyer played by Patrick O'Neal who comes to town with his girlfriend played by Astrid Heeren so he can sell the creepy old house now belonging to the son of the guy who burned to death. You'll notice right away that his girlfriend is a few decades younger than he is, but before you chime in to criticize the age gap, I'll have you know that ***SPOILERS*** both of them get horrifically murdered a third of the way in. So I hope you'll think twice about criticizing their relationship. Let us exercise some tact. Let us remember them fondly, instead of lecturing their corpses about the "half your age plus seven" rule. ***END SPOILERS***

Anyway, this is gonna be the weirdest fucking thing I've ever written here, but Astrid Heeren's eyebrows are like cute little caterpillars. I don't even like caterpillars, but the point is that her eyebrows are pretty striking. And she's not the only one in the cast where that's the case. Mary Woronov and James Patterson, the latter of whom looks like he could be the lovechild of David Hess and Jean-Paul Belmondo, have some pretty striking eyebrows too. So the casting director probably had a thing about them.

Anyway, I wouldn't call this a lost classic, but I enjoyed it. It's nice and cozy and bloody, and there's also the off-kilter tone to the affair, thanks to the weirdly deadpan performances by most of the cast, but in particular Woronov and Patterson. And there's some stuff that anticipates another Christmas horror classic, like the POV scenes and creepy phone calls, so you can turn it into a double feature if you're in the mood.

As proto-slasher SILENT NIGHT, BLOODY NIGHT turns 50, FANGORIA allowed me to reflect on its strange, layered history, which includes Warhol Superstars, queer subtext, and the Mistress of the Dark herself. Along the way, I spoke to author Matthieu DuPée, filmmaker Julie Anne Prescott, and legendary horror host Mister Lobo about this festive fright's enduring legacy. Read!
