It's crazy to me now to think I was actually excited to see 'Silent Night'. I'd been looking forward to this one for a while. Boy were my Spidey-Senses off on this one. When the film set itself up in a way that meant there was going to be very little dialogue I thought, oh no, that's not going to make for a good film. The crazy thing is that I had no idea just how bad it was actually going to be.
I've never been so bored and lacking interest in a film before - and I absolutely love revenge movies. Here though, I couldn't have cared less. I must've checked my watch a hundred time over the course of the film. It felt like time wasn't advancing.
You'd think with the patience the film is asking us to have that the action sequences would have to be downright amazing to make up for it, right? Nope, they nothing special at all. I really don't know how anyone successfully pitched this movie. Also, the Christmas theme? Where did that come from? If there were references to Christmas they were absolutely minimal. Just a way to sell the film I assume? This was a miserable experience and one of the worst 2023 has to offer. 3/10.
