I'm not really sure this film knows what it wants to be. If you want to watch a good film about adults and children facing the end check out 'These Final Hours'. If you want to watch a black comedy about the end of the world try Dr Strangelove. There is a lot of talent on screen but much of the script is nonsense and the characters are both sympathetic and unlikeable - but not in a good way. Roman Griffin Davis was pretty good, but the script was obviously distorted to feature everything he says and does. Nothing felt natural and most of the character's motivations remain a mystery. By the end you don't care how it ends.
This movie should not have been advertised as a horror comedy. It is far from it. This movie was very good in my opinion, definitely worth a watch. This was a whole rollercoaster of a movie. Definitely does not deserve all the negative reviews just because it wasn't what everyone expected.
Never has a film been so heartwarming, heartbreaking and horrifying. SILENT NIGHT is humanity at its very best in the face of its worst fears with laughter, tears and a poignant reminder of why life is worth living at all before we meet our inevidable ends.
Wow, that was not at all what I was expecting. It's not comedy, it's not horror, it is the very darkest of British black comedy, which means not much comedy at all. However, go into it without those previous preconceptions, and you've got to say, it's a pretty good film.
Don't rely on it for Christmas cheer, but for enthralling watching, good acting and a mostly unexpected layout, you'll get more than you bargained for.
Happy Christmas everyone, well perhaps not everyone.......

I really enjoyed this movie, but it's NOT a comedy (though had many dark comedic moments), NOT a horror film, and NOT a Christmas movie. It's also not some clever COVID-19/anti-vax film as it was filmed in early 2020 and probably written in 2019. Also - and this is not a spoiler - if you're easily offended by children swearing as so many folks who rated it seem to be, this is not the right movie for you. There's plenty of profanity to go around, so if you're sensitive to that go ahead and pass. But there's plenty to laugh about, think about, and enjoy in this one if you ignore how it's marketed and just go with it.
