Silent Night (2021)

"Worth it for the performances and the gripping final act."

"If Silent Night ultimately aces its peculiar tone, it struggles with having anything to say."

"Neither funny nor haunting enough to become a holiday staple."

"Most of Silent Night's pleasures are to be found in the strength of its cast."

"After an unsatisfying start as a comedy, Silent Night finds its feet as (a) thoughtful chamber piece about what it means to peer into the abyss. Merry Christmas, everyone!"

"A tenderness keeps the tragedy from swallowing this narrative whole... That’s important because Griffin also isn’t afraid to get unflinchingly blunt and brutal."

"The characters... are not compelling enough to carry the movie, nor are the horrors of the outside world fleshed out enough to frighten."

"(An) arrestingly strange and forthright black comic nightmare..."

"(A) hateful lump of holiday coal..."

"One frightful festive mess..."

"An ambitious but muddled mix of Christmas comedy and apocalyptic drama."
