沉默之夜 (2012)
Silent Night
1984年的美国圣诞档曾出现过一部备受争议的电影《平安夜，杀人夜》，这部电影让圣诞老人化身杀人狂，在美好的圣诞夜晚大开杀戒，颠覆了孩子们心目中圣诞老人作为愿望使者的美好形象，这让家长们大为光火，合力抗议抵制，整个美国社会甚至形成了一股反恐怖电影的风潮。这种行为或许要拜美国六七十年代一系列的诸如越战失利，总统遇刺，国内经济衰退等等事件所赐，使得美国人的心灵变得脆弱不堪，以至于都无福消受一部消遣圣诞老人的恐怖电影。今年，翻拍自当年《平安夜，杀人夜》的恐怖片《平安夜惊魂》又来了。在美国文化多元开化的今天，这样一部电影想来已经不会触到他们的敏感点了。 《平安夜惊魂》将延续《平安夜，杀人夜》的原故事，主要讲述了在美国威斯康星洲一个小镇举行了圣诞大游行，在满镇的圣诞老人中，有一位连环杀手也装扮成圣诞老人的样子大开杀戒。小镇警察对其进行搜寻追捕...... 本片剧本由杰森·罗思韦尔（《白雪公主和七武僧》、《仙境绑架案》）操刀，新生代恐怖片导演史蒂文·c·米勒（《自动注射》、《尖叫的女妖》）执导，“邪恶”老将马尔科姆·麦克道威尔（《罗马帝国艳情史》、《发条橙》）搭档杰米·金、布兰登·费尔两位年轻演员出演。麦克道威尔此次不再出演一贯的邪恶角色，而是变身成大事的小镇英雄库柏警长。

Silent Night is a 2012 slasher film directed by Steven C. Miller and starring Malcolm McDowell, Jaime King, Donal Logue, Ellen Wong, and Brendan Fehr. It is the reboot of Charles E. Sellier, Jr.'s 1984 film Silent Night, Deadly Night and the sixth installment in the Silent Night, Deadly Night film series. It received mixed reviews from critics. It was given a limited theatrical release on November 30, 2012, and was released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on December 4.
Production
The idea to remake the original film of the Silent Night, Deadly Night series came in 2006. After a screening of the first film, Scott Schneid, who co-created it, suggested the idea of a remake to Ryan Heppe, who worked at David Foster Productions as a development executive. Heppe convinced Foster to announce that there would be a remake.
Screenwriter Jayson Rothwell had not watched the original Silent Night, Deadly Night, so instead he was asked to write based on his own ideas of what a Christmas-themed horror movie was. Rothwell chose to base the film on the Covina Massacre — on Christmas Eve in 2008, Bruce Jeffrey Pardo opened fire at a Christmas party at his ex-wife’s house and burned the house down, killing multiple people, including himself.
