Watched this for a second time late last night and realized even more just how darn eerie this one is. Directed by Theodore Gershuny, SILENT NIGHT, BLOODY NIGHT (1974) in my opinion is a forgotten diamond. Mary Woronov is very good in it and the way the tale of the Butler house/asylum is slowly unraveled as the place is about to be sold and murders of people familiar to it occur is well achieved. There were more than a few chills felt while watching and the murder sequences were highly effective, especially that gory bedroom double axe dispatching in the first half! WOW!
This is a long lost relic of a time when horror could be superbly made at next to nothing. Great John Carradine role here too! We need a special edition DVD of this ASAP!! Who else loves this one?
