    Lifetime movie fan - approves

    Silent Night, Fatal Night, is so a great xmas movie for Lifetime! I like that it is different than your typical romance. Camacho, is a good and believable Mallory. I really liked her performance. The chemistry with Pohlkamp is surprisingly genuine. I have already seen him in a few other movie over the years and he always brings it. Admittedly, there are a few narrative quirks, but you find yourself embracing them for the overall thrill. If you're a fan of Lifetime movies like me, you'll appreciate a touch of theatricality, and secretly adore watching Ms. Camacho shine, this one is definitely worth a watch. I would recommend this movie for the holiday.

    Really Really Good!!

    Wow, I came into this movie not expecting much... and wow it BLEW ME AWAY! AMAZING!! The story was riveting, and captured me right away. But it was the acting that truly encapsulated me in the film. Great performances by all, but I thought the actress playing Carrie was incredible. I am redhead myself, so it was amazing see both of those leading redheads steal the show. I couldn't recommend this movie enough! Perfect Holiday movie to watch with the whole family. It's mysterious, funny and a perfect fit for all. Can't get enough, I recorded it too, and can't wait to watch again. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!

    It will do

    I wanted a good Lifetime suspense movie. It would have been better if the killer was unknown. I thought the woman who was "her biggest fan" at her book signing was going to be the one who was going to "do something". I had a plot already in my mind that would have been better..This story somewhat copies the Kathy Bates movie "Misery" , with a writer being held hostage and forced to write. But , what really gets me is how this author,Mallory continues to accessorize her outfits every day (from her suitcase)-though she is being held against her will AND witnessed a fatal stabbing by the man who kidnapped her. She also walks around in her boots like she is in charge. No. Unrealistic. I have had a gun pointed at me. You pee on yourself.

    Seriously, who wrote this... Nickelodeon?

    Not even the writers of Scooby Doo dared to do that. I wanted to watch it because sometimes Lifetime releases something that's really entertaining and because I read a couple of the reviews... What a mistake!

    I wouldn't know where to start listing the errors. There're too many... In fact, the entire movie is a huge mistake. This is a bad copy of Stephen King's Misery.

    There's no way to find the logic of the story. Common sense is dead in here. The performances are horrible and not to mention the poor directorial choices. I don't understand how people are giving up to 10 points for this.

    I gave it 1 because they don't allow me to give it zero. This is a total waste of time.

    Lifetime's Go-To Bad Guy & One Defiant Queen!

    Silent Night, Fatal Night, while gripping, isn't without its head-scratching moments. First off, there's this lack of a dead body, and yet, the world thinks Mallory's pushing up daisies - I mean, really? Then there's Mallory. Sure, she's in a tough spot, but girl, there are moments where you're wondering why she doesn't just bolt. Still, I thought she did a really nice job. We love a defiant queen! But let's talk Matthew Pohlkamp. He's got the whole villain vibe down - manipulating Mallory, holding her captive, his scary twitches - it's both intense and a bit over the top. And here's the thing, Pohlkamp's kind of become the go-to bad guy in these Lifetime movies. It'd be awesome to see him switch it up, maybe play the good guy for once. So, yeah, there are plot holes, but Pohlkamp's villain game is strong enough to keep you invested.

      The same photo of the same man in the same pose is on the front of the book Mallory reads at Michael's house near the beginning, and on the album cover - titled "Peter Sings" - propped up on the table about halfway through.
