PROJECT DETAILS
  • Filming in Winnipeg, Canada, with an aimed release for this Holiday season.
  • Anchor Bay will distribute in the US.
  • Director Steven C. Miller was quoted saying: "This one’s going to be dark. I love the original movie, and I love the mean spirit of it. I felt like it took itself pretty seriously, and while there's some dark humor in this one, we are handling it ‘straight’ and it’s definitely a horror film and it’s definitely a ‘Santa with an Axe’ film. It’s going to be really crazy, and really gory, and at the same time have some really great characters at its heart."
  • It's said that the effects in the film will be "100% practical."
  • Actress Jamie King plays "Aubrey Bradimore, a Deputy Sheriff who battles the killer Santa Claus terrorizing her small Midwestern town."
  • Actor Malcolm McDowell will play "Sheriff Cooper, a small-town hero ready for some big-time action."
  • Originally titled Silent Night, Deadly Night (like the original) but was shortened to just Silent Night.
  • Directed by Steven C. Miller (Automaton Transfusion).
  • Said to be a "loose remake" of the 1984 film Silent Night, Deadly Night.
