"Silent Night, Deadly Night" teaser released.

The film is a remake of a 1984 movie of the same name. I had never heard of the original until today, but it turns out it has a fascinating place in cinema history.

The film was so controversial when it was released that it was pulled from theaters just a couple of weeks after its release, despite being a commercial success.

Now, a new generation will be introduced to the Christmas horror story, and judging from the preview, it's going to be a very bloody ride.

Give the teaser trailer a watch below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

As I noted above, the film doesn't have an official rating yet in the United States, but it will be shocking if it's not slapped with a well-deserved R rating.

"Silent Night, Deadly Night" looks like it's going to be a bloodbath. It's a unique twist on Christmas stories. Most holiday films are uplifting and promote positive messages.

Not this movie.

Not "Silent Night, Deadly Night."

It's going to be a gory slasher, which is probably going to be a surprise for people in the Christmas spirit.

You can catch "Silent Night, Deadly Night" starting December 25, 2025. Let me know your thoughts on the preview at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
