Silent Night, Deadly Night, 2025 – ★★★
Brings some welcome new angles to a tired brand, even if it doesn’t fully nail them. There’s enough here to build something stronger next time.

Has a clever hook, but the wild tonal swings undercut what could’ve been a sharp, nasty little genre mashup. Frustratingly close to something better.
Feels stitched together from better crime thrillers, but it’s just enough to stay watchable.
Lean and tense with a nasty edge, but it never digs deep enough to rise above disposable thriller territory.
Wildly inventive and committed to the bit, but it stretches the joke a little past its breaking point. Still impressively absurd.
Polished and well-acted, but the twists feel overly familiar. Easy to see the appeal, just not much that felt new.
Much sharper and sillier than expected—leans into the chaos and actually earns more laughs than it probably should. A pleasant surprise.
Still packed with classic absurdity, but some era-specific jokes don’t hit the same today. Not the peak, yet plenty of laughs remain.
Keeps the joke machine running at full speed—ridiculous, relentless, and proof that lightning can strike twice in comedy.
Wall-to-wall gags that still land decades later—absurd, rapid-fire brilliance that never lets up. A timeless comedy masterclass.
Smart concept that reimagines the jungle madness in a fresh way—doesn’t reinvent the snake, but it slithers in the right direction.
Gloriously over-the-top creature chaos with iconic performances and peak ’90s energy. Pure jungle pulp that never stops being fun.
Funny, nostalgic, and surprisingly insightful—it captures just how ahead of his time he was. A reminder that he really did shift the culture.
Fascinating as a failed franchise starter—messy, uneven, but you can see the bones of something that could’ve been bigger.
