Better than I expected
I had very low expectations for this film, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's not a great movie, but it's reasonably well acted and it maintained my attention all the way through.
I didn't particularly care for the first "Silent Night, Deadly Night," but some of the sequels have been imaginative. This one deals with psychic power, and Part IV deals with the occult. Definitely a cut above the standard slasher fare. 6 stars out of 10.
