Review of Initiation: Silent Night, Deadly Night 4 (1990) by Thomas D — 04 Dec 2010
The end of Silent Night Deadly Night 3 left the story open to continue down the traditional festive slasher route. This movie completely ignores that, and throws in a shitload of witchcraft.
Does it work? Actually... sort of.
Neith Hunter has the leading role of Kim, a young woman who gets embroiled with a coven of witches. Things go pretty weird when she stars vomiting up insect larvae and her limbs start joining together. There's a pretty strong and interesting feminism angle at work too. And, er, it all happens at christmas.
It's very unclear how this movie ties in to the previous three. One of the characters is named Ricky (the killer from the last two movies) but it's never stated if its actually the same character or not.
Bizarre but surprisingly watchable.
