Silent Night

Thought it would be better with the actors involved. The kids were good actors as well and the dialogue was witty. Characters were unlikeable but believable as well. Very different movie indeed.

This movie is trash I mean I sat here for 1 hour and 30 mins and nothing happened never watched this trash movie and removed from netflix

Parents Nell (Keira Knightley and Simon (Matthew Goode) have invited old friends to their home for Christmas dinner. However, everyone knows there's a dark undercurrent to the gathering. I went into this blind and thus unaware of the twist in the film. There are humorous moments but nothing like the dark comedy of such films as After Hours. But I found it enthralling observing how all the characters deal with their circumstances. And that ending, emotional. Highly recommended.

The actors are excellent and I tend to like darker films, but this is the most depressing thing I've seen in a long time. If your idea of a good movie is a 2-hour suicide/mass extinction event at Christmas, including of children, go for it. It's not clear what the point is - the world is dying on poison gas and that's about it.

This movie is better than what most people are saying. It has a lot to say, and it's rather deep when you think about the details that are poured into it. The acting is solid imo, and overall great child actors.

Watched the first 15 minutes and then turned it off. Waste of time when you see how 2 faced all the characters are. I like a Christmas movie that is a feel good type of movie, not this drama queen-centric crap. Star cast should have passed on this one. The popcorn meter on this is dead right!!

Great premise but played it out bad, acting was bad, jokes were bad. I just wish they played it out better

The characters are awesomely hillarious and very well put together. They captured my attention throughout the film. The ending was a little predictable, but suits the movie well. I love the dark humor and the movie sends out an important message/lesson.

There are a lot of apocalyptic movies lately. Sign of the times, we will hopefully say if we get to look back on it. This is one of the best. Unless you're not like me in which case you won't like it. But that's true of all reviews.

"Silent Night" presents a Christmas apocalypse, where the real horror isn't the toxic cloud approaching the characters but the toxic personalities at the dinner table. This group of upper-middle-class individuals are so unbearable that the end of the world seems more like a relief than a tragedy. The film showcases an idealized, yet nauseating, version of country living, laced with forced cheerfulness and self-satisfaction. Despite attempts to inject energy with constant swearing and infidelity revelations, the movie remains tedious as it awaits the poison cloud. The film's environmental message and social commentary feel clumsy and heavy-handed, making it even more unbearable. Director Camille Griffin suggested a trigger warning for shocking scenes, but the entire film could have used one for its relentless smugness and emotional trauma. Ultimately, "Silent Night" tries to reflect the anxieties of early lockdown but ends up feeling like a punishment to watch.
