Silent Night, Deadly Night III

Part 2 gets all the hate, but at least it's entertaining. This movie sucks, and it's really boring too. The only copy you can get is full screen, which means it's bordering on the 90s era where nobody cared about the movie enough to preserve it right and give it a proper release.

We start out in a white hospital room where Richard Beymer is using our blind^bland female protagonist's psychic powers to jump start comatose Ricky's brain. Yeah, we're jumping the shark a bit with this one, and Ricky is recast with Bill Moseley, who wears a dome over his head to expose his brain. Eventually, he wakes up, follows the girl over to grandma's house, and tries to... I don't know... kill her, probably?

He's basically a shambling zombie in the movie, and he doesn't even wear a Santa costume. One thing that's particularly stupid is that they once again use several flashbacks to the first film, including flashbacks that baby Ricky shouldn't remember. Just like in part 2.

This movie is pretty dreadful. It has no personality and begs the question of why they kept making these movies if they weren't going to put forth any effort. There's barely any Christmas relevance here. No snow, few decorations, and boring kills. I give this movie two out of five lumps of coal.
