“In 1984, one film shocked audiences, was banned from theaters, and traumatized a generation. From the studio that brought you Terrifier 3, comes a new, and unrated, vision of the cult classic. This Christmas, spread the holiday fear.” Cineverse has debuted there first look at the terrifyingly brutal modern update on the indie horror cult classic Silent Night, Deadly Night. This modern teaser is direct from San Diego Comic-Con and introduces us to the modern take on this vicious horror story. A child witnesses his parents’ murder by a man in a Santa suit. Years later, now as an adult, he dons a Santa costume himself and embarks on a violent quest for retribution against those responsible for the traumatic event in his childhood. Written & directed by Mike P. Nelson, the film stars Rohan Campbell, Ruby Modine, Mark Acheson, David Lawrence Brown, and David Tomlinson. This horror film is already set for release in December later in the year. It definitely has the same kind of vibes as the Terrifier trilogy, and I expect it to be just as crazy as those films.

Here’s the teaser trailer (+ poster) for Mike P. Nelson’s horror Silent Night, Deadly Night, on YouTube:

Sellier Jr) – When Billy witnesses his parents’ grisly murder on Christmas Eve at the hands of Santa, it ignites a lifelong mission to spread holiday fear.
