We know he’ll be bad this Christmas season.

Cineverse releases the SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT remake to theaters December 12. The update of the notorious 1984 film was written and directed by Mike P. Nelson (WRONG TURN) and stars Rohan Campbell (HALLOWEEN ENDS), Ruby Modine, Mark Acheson, David Lawrence Brown and David Tomlinson. The synopsis: “After witnessing his parents’ brutal murder on Christmas Eve, Billy [Campbell] transforms into a Killer Santa, delivering a yearly spree of calculated, chilling violence. This year, his blood-soaked mission collides with love, as a young woman challenges him to confront his darkness. ‘Have you been naughty?’”
