Initiation: Silent Night, Deadly Night 4
“If I die before I wake... thank you.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 59, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A reporter follows a bizarre death into a cult ritual that has very little to do with the murderous Santa franchise around it. Brian Yuzna supplies the bodily strangeness, turning a nominal Christmas sequel into a queasy initiation nightmare. Choose it for grotesque imagery rather than seasonal comfort.
