It’s Christmas, and Billy is back. On this episode of The Slashers, we review Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025), the unrated reboot of the infamous holiday slasher, written/directed by Mike P. Nelson and starring Rohan Campbell and Ruby Modine. Released in U.S. theaters on December 12, 2025, via Cineverse. This new entry marks a return to the franchise’s “you better watch out” brutality while adding plenty of new wrinkles. 

We break down what works, what doesn’t, and how it stacks up against the 1984 original and the broader Silent Night, Deadly Night legacy, kills, tone, holiday vibes, and whether this reboot earns a spot on your annual Christmas horror rotation.
