Christmas has come very early (or a little late depending on your point of view) for horror fans – Silent Night, Deadly Night, the irresistible horror chiller from the producers of Terrifier 2 and 3, is released on Home Premiere from January 26, and Blu-ray & DVD from March 2. Starring rising genre stars Rohan Campbell (The Monkey, Halloween Ends) and Ruby Modine (Happy Deathday), this stylishly made shocker is written and directed by Mike P Nelson (Wrong Turn, V/H/S/85).
A remake of the infamous 80’s Santa slasher, the film is fresh, funny and packed with wildly inventive sequences, including a reworking of the original film’s antlers killing and a barn dance massacre that’ll make your jaw hit the floor. With a fabulous score from Blitz//Berlin (Psycho Goreman); there are also subtle nods towards horror classics including Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. In amongst the swathe of gruesome kills and unbearable tension, there’s room for a touching romance. This is horror with a heart, albeit one with an axe sticking out of it.
Check out the film’s official trailer in the player below:
Campbell and Modine put in superb lead performances, with support from David Lawrence Brown (Orphan: First Kill), David Tomlinson (Psycho Killer), Sharon Bajer (Dark Harvest) and Mark Acheson (Brand New Cherry Flavour). Released in UK cinemas over Christmas, Silent Night, Deadly Night follows in the bloody footsteps of hugely enjoyable contemporary horror favourites like Barbarian, The Monkey, Weapons and Smile 2 – being both frightening and funny, and leaving you wanting more.
The film will be available to buy and rent from digital platforms on January 26, 2026, on DVD and Blu-ray from March 2.
