Silent Night Deadly Night 4 (1990)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

AKA: Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation; Bugs
Directed by: Brian Yuzna
Starring: Neith Hunter (Kim), Tommy Hinkley (Hank), Clint Howard (Ricky), Maud Adams (Fima)
Country: USA; Effed Up American Cinema
Language: English (Optional Eng Subs)
Runtime: 01:27:01
Genres: Insects-Small Creatures, Witches, Body Modification

Plot – Spoilers:
Part 4 in the Silent Night Deadly Night series has no connection to the earlier films barring a scene from SNDN-3 playing out on a television screen.

By the end of it, you won’t be alone if you wonder what the fuck it was all about and what was the point. I suppose it’s some kind of creature-feature, and therefore appropriately begins by introducing us to a guy wearing a turtleneck and leather-jacket combo. It also has Neith Hunter, if you dig her, and some homely witches.

This is a strange witchcraft movie under the moniker “Silent Night Deadly Night” to, I assume, attract an audience. The “Silent Night Deadly Night” franchise must pay well to get actors like Clint Howard and Robert Culp (who is in #3) to be in their movies. This film isn’t too bad but it has nothing to do with Christmas. Someone must have mentioned to the director to put in something about Christmas for the last 10 minutes of the film. It’s better than #3. I’ll go straight up the middle with this one and give it just a cunt hair over 2 and a half stars.

First 50 mins in its ;= like Attack of the feminist cunts: psychedelia , then the homeless simpleton simply simps for the liberal democratic book-club. Cringe-o disgust-o meter: 10/10.
NOT scary, just ends in a doofus manson styled, assignment. Overall plot and corny ass movie gets a 2/10, when the cringe meter hit 10– my effed-up rating rose by one point.
Would NOT watch with anyone else, nor recommend a forgettable film cliff-hanged on a positive-note.
[Since some of these comments mention connection to other unrelatable films, Puppet master series also switched it up super strangely near the end because of the directors views changing. (Some random toy maker and a company trying to steal bullshit ideas and spying,) They should have used the money to make merchandise or short films of the ‘franchise’ if I could call it that]
Not reflexed on rating.

After part 3 of SNDN which took the franchise in a somewhat new direction, this film (Part 4) takes it in a completely new direction by having nothing to do with Parts 1, 2 or 3. It also breaks tradition by not showing the boobs of the mom killed in part 1 (and shown in flashbacks in part 2 and 3). Unlike part 3 it also had people acting in a film. Which was nice!
Its essentially a standalone film in the franchise, and one that is enjoyable. Imo the best film so far in the SNDN franchise. 3/5 cockroaches.

This sequel is its own entity, with the only connection being that it takes place at Christmas time (much like with Halloween III, if you’re dead set on hating it, of course you’ll hate it, but it deserves to be given a chance for what it is). An occult conspiracy, horrific bugs, bending reality… for me this movie brings to mind Burroughs, Polanski, and Argento. It’s very strange and I absolutely love it.

This is one of the best movies in the series, it’s a Yuzna classic. It would’ve been perfect but they really did Ricky wrong here..
