[Interview] Director Steven C. Miller On Making A New Killer Santa For ‘Silent Night’, Going ‘Under The Bed’

On November 30th, Anchor Bay Films presents Silent Night on screens in ten major U.S. metropolitan areas. That following tuesday, December 4th, the Blu-ray/DVD combo and DVD will be available to unwrap nationwide. Bonus features include “SILENT NIGHT: Behind The Scenes” featurette and Deleted Scenes. The film is directed by Steven C. Miller (Automaton Transfusion, Under the Bed, The Aggression Scale).

I recently had a chance to hop on the phone with Miller and we talked about his approach to balancing the old and the new in this loose remake of Silent Night, Deadly Night, from crafting the kills and to assembling the cast. We also talk a bit about his other new feature, Under The Bed, which is due in theaters next year.

The film’s cast includes Malcolm McDowell (Rob Zombie’s Halloween, Easy A), Jaime King (Sin City, My Bloody Valentine 3D), Donal Logue (Shark Night 3D, Blade), Lisa Marie (Sleepy Hollow), Brendan Fehr (Final Destination, X-Men First Class), and Ellen Wong (Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World).

McDowell and King star as a small-town sheriff and deputy on the hunt for a murderous Santa Claus terrorizing their community on Christmas Eve. But with the streets full of Santas for the annual Christmas parade, the killer is hiding in plain sight. He’s made his list, checked it twice, and the naughty are going to pay with their lives.
