Description: I did not think and wonder what , after seeing me three inconclusive slasher I Feel plot of the fourth film , slasher who has absolutely nothing in common. It turned out that the mystical occult thriller theme of ” Silent Night , Deadly Night” turned out as much better than the penny slasher killers dressed as Santa Claus . Abrupt change of style is not the first time going to the movies : to recall at least a third of the ” Maniac Cop ” (1993) , the ninth of “Friday the 13th ” (1993) and the fourth film about the adventures of the doll Chucky (1998).
The film really is intriguing and keeps the audience in suspense as compared to previous installments . The feeling of a big mystery throughout the film is able to keep the audience from the screen. Kvadrikvel look at one breath and with a sinking heart . For the main character Kim really start to worry . The story itself – the original , especially given the past series ” Silent Night, Deadly Night .” Slasher always put at the heart of the killing of a female. It is an old and sick theme , for details refer to the documentary “In pieces: The Rise and Fall slasher .” But kvadrikvel coolly turns misogyny topic in the opposite direction . Here women are the stronger sex and hatred are men. Really a paradox for the originally – slasher series – so serious changes in their vision and style. But here it is worth mention of the fact that the film will appeal to those who have been touched by the first part of ” Silent Night , Deadly Night” and is already on the machine looked two consecutive poor sequel. Such viewers deem kvadrikvel Pentalog and the worst part is not surprising. Because slasher with the fourth part , fortunately, has nothing to do .
Verdict . If you like thrillers occult themes , the film “The Initiation : Silent Night, Deadly Night 4 “, I think , to your taste . The rest of the watch at the same time , I strongly advise you , because they are all different in spirit and style , and do not look like what you see in this film .
Review: “Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation,” also known simply as “Initiation,” is a 1990 American horror film that indeed takes a different turn from its predecessors in the “Silent Night, Deadly Night” series. Directed by Brian Yuzna, who is known for his affiliation with imaginative and grotesque horror visuals, the film stands apart by delving into themes of cultism, feminism, and body horror, thus distancing itself from the slasher roots of the first three movies. The story’s focus on a female reporter venturing into the investigation of a mysterious death that leads her towards encountering a cult devoted to the Egyptian goddess Isis, marks a notable departure from the series’ traditional Christmas-related horror theme. The inclusion of Screaming Mad George for the visual effects secures the film’s position as a visually captivating piece, boasting the signature grotesque and inventive effects that fans of Yuzna and George’s collaborations would expect. While “Silent Night, Deadly Night 4” may fall short in terms of script originality and acting prowess, the film compensates with its distinct visual style and the unique direction of its horror elements. It’s appreciated by fans for its departure from the slasher genre, embracing instead a plot that’s rich with bizarre and disturbing imagery, tied together by a narrative that explores deeper themes than one might anticipate from its title. Your rating of 8/10 highlights the film as a worthwhile watch for those who enjoy horror that combines gross-out elements with a story that diverges markedly from its franchise’s beginnings. It’s a testament to Yuzna’s ability to craft a film that, despite its flaws, can still be recognized for its entertainment value and its commitment to pushing the boundaries of conventional horror.
