S3 Ep 125: It's time for our Christmas episodes! We're starting off at a low point with "Silent Night, Deadly Night 3: Better Watch Out!" This movie is so dull and so poorly written. It comes nowhere near, "So bad, it's good," territory. It is a chore to get through. Anyway... I hope you enjoy the episode. I did just find out that this movie was released directly to video and or television.

Silent Night, Deadly Night 3 picks up after the events of part 2, bringing back the franchise’s Santa-suited killer Ricky Caldwell—now comatose, badly injured, and sporting a clear dome brain apparatus that looks like a repurposed fishbowl glued to his skull. A doctor is trying to study Ricky using a young blind clairvoyant named Laura Anderson, hoping her ESP ability will connect to his dormant mind.

Of course… it does.

During a dream experiment, Laura unintentionally awakens Ricky, who bolts from the hospital, murders anyone in his way, and heads toward the place Laura is spending Christmas: her grandmother’s house. The second half of the film plays out like a road-trip slasher, as Laura, her brother, and his girlfriend find themselves stalked in a remote rural home on Christmas Eve.

The climax pits Laura—who uses her second sight instead of her literal sight—against Ricky in a tense, slow-burn showdown. Police eventually intervene, and Ricky is seemingly “killed”… again.
