Summary: Don't even think about it.
Comment: I have just completed my second time around with this movie. It took me a year to watch it again, with some friends from the original showing, and some new faces. It was worse than I remember, and the second worse movie I have ever encountered, and I find them for fun. Every other SNDN movie (which I own the collection) has some entertaining value, most of which is just the outrageous badness of them all, but this movie is on another level of its own. Tonight I took my copy and threw it out a second floor window and burned the remains. Stay far away from this movie if you know what's good for you.

Comment: The Film: Silent Night Deadly Night 4 Initiation
Year Released: 1990
Overview: A beautiful reporter, Kim (Neith Hunter) is the witness of a woman who falls to her death and spontaneously combusts into flames. She begins to investigate the death of the woman, but finds herself caught up in a group of witches who want her to be their new member. Only trouble is, Kim refuses to be one of them!
The Package: 3 Stars. This review is for the VHS tape of this film, from live home video. The tape is recorded in SP mode which is what you want when it comes to VHS. The box is interesting. The white box cover, combined with a woman holding a large knife and a Christmas tree in the background makes this look interesting and something I would want to buy.
Spook Meter: 2 Stars. Their is nothing really scary here at all. A few scenes with Ricky will give you a light "chill" but nothing much. This has nothing to do with the first brilliant film Silent Night Deadly Night. The only thing this film has to do with it at all is a guy named Ricky is in this but the story has nothing to do with the original film. Don't expect any kind of Santa killing people, because it's just not here. I don't have a problem with that, if this was a great film in itself, but it's not very good. I almost don't even consider this a horror film; it's more along the lines of mystery/suspense. The concept of this is interesting but this just kind of plods along with only a few parts throughout that sort of grab the viewer's attention but not for long. Kim (Neith Hunter) does a very good job acting, as with Ricky (Clint Howard) which does help things some.
Gore/Violence Meter: 3 Stars. There is some blood/gore here but not a whole lot. A few scenes are a bit gory so I bumped up the meter one notch. There are some parts that may gross out some viewers but it's not over the top by any means.
Profanity Meter: 4 Strikes. There is a lot of language in this film, which I find dissapointing.
Sexual Meter: 4 Strikes. There are scenes where a woman's breasts are shown. There is some fairly strong sexual make out scenes that maybe considered pretty strong and some viewers will not wish to see.
Final Thoughts: This is ok in some aspects. If you watch this with the idea that it's nothing to do with the first Silent Night Deadly Night and if you don't expect a deep horror thrill ride, then you might kind of find this interesting to watch since it does have some interesting twists and turns that might spark your interest some. Not a total disappointment by any means, but could have been much better.

Summary: Some good gross out parts
Comment: It looks low-budget, but I still found parts of it scary, and other parts hand-over-mouth gross. And it wasn't clear what would happen next, which was good.
Also, this has some great scenes filmed in older Los Feliz, Los Angeles, above the cool Fred 64 restaurant now!

Summary: Waste Of Money...Waste Of Film...Just Plain Bad!
Comment: I didn't really enjoy any of the "Silent Night Deadly Night" movies, especially this one. It has NOTHING to do with the original movie, or Christmas.Was this some sort of joke? Did they make it just for a laugh? It sure looks like it. Oh, man...I'd buy a copy of this movie just to tape over it. Freaky satanic cult...confusing plot, not to mention BORING. Please, take this one off the shelf and pretend it was never made.
I was VERY disapointed with this movie. I should have just stopped after part one.
