‘Silent Night, Deadly Night’ – Slash into the Teaser for Our Reboot Starring Rohan Campbell!
Cineverse, Bloody Disgusting, and director Mike P. Nelson are bringing Silent Night, Deadly Night back to theaters with a brand new movie, and we surprised San Diego Comic-Con with the teaser trailer during the “Bold Voices of Contemporary Horror” panel tonight. You weren’t able to make it to SDCC? Don’t worry, because the SNDN teaser is now available online.
Silent Night, Deadly Night will be released in theaters nationwide on December 12, 2025! Watch the official teaser below for your first look at Rohan Campbell as our killer Santa!
Rohan Campbell (Halloween Ends) is playing Billy in Silent Night, Deadly Night, with the cast also including Ruby Modine (Happy Death Day) as Pamela alongside Mark Acheson, David Lawrence Brown, and David Tomlinson. Stay tuned for more updates.
In the new movie, “When Billy witnesses his parents’ grisly murder on Christmas Eve at the hands of Santa, it ignites a lifelong mission to spread holiday fear. Every Christmas, he dons the jolly red suit and delivers a blood-soaked massacre to feed his twisted sense of justice. This Christmas Eve, Billy wants to know: Have you been naughty?”
Crew for the film, a fresh new take on the ’80s slasher classic, includes Director of Photography Nick Junkersfeld, Production Designer Oscar Fenogolio, Costume Designer Laura DeLuca, Stunt Coordinator Kristen Sawatzky, Special Effects Doug Morrow, Casting Director Jim Heber, Composers Blitz Berlin, and Line Producer Tanya Brunel.
When it was released in 1984, the first Silent Night, Deadly Night quickly became the most controversial movie of the year. In a series of letters, parents demanded the film be pulled from theaters. Tri-Star, the film’s original distributor, responded to all the outrage by doing just that – an act that would ensure SNDN’s place in the halls of horror film infamy.
In an instant, Silent Night, Deadly Night transformed from just another slasher film to a veritable cult classic, the very people who sought to banish it from existence serving to make it one of the most must-see horror films of the entire decade. On December 12, SNDN is back…
And this time, it’s UNRATED…
Barbarian director Zach Cregger is sending Austin Abrams on a nonstop survival roller coaster in Resident Evil, and a fresh image from Empire introduces just one of many monstrous encounters ahead.
Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil opens in theaters and IMAX September 18 from Sony.
Austin Abrams (Weapons) stars as Bryan, a medical courier who unwittingly finds himself in a non-stop race for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in chaos.
In the fresh image, Abrams’ character appears trapped with an infected passenger.
“The concept here is that we’re following an idiot,” Cregger tells Empire. “Not that he’s stupid, but he’s not your typical game character, with no combat skills whatsoever and completely inept at survival. Bryan is very much an everyman who happens to be burdened with this kind of sacred mission that’s going to take him into the heart of everything. It’s kind of like Frodo going into Mordor.”
Zach Cherry (“Severance”), Kali Reis (“True Detective: Night Country”), Paul Walter Hauser (“Black Bird”), and Johnno Wilson (“Twisted Metal”) round out the cast.
Cregger directs from a script he co-wrote with Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapters 3 & 4).
“It feels like one gigantic sequence,” he said of the film’s structure. “Things pop off about five minutes in, and it basically stays like that until the end. What I love about the games is that you move from set-piece to set-piece. Every location has a unique challenge. So again, I’m borrowing from the games directly in that rhythm, where you’re just running through a gauntlet.”
What’s noteworthy about this particular image, though, is that Cregger previously warned that there would be very few actual zombies in his film. Instead, expect a revolving door of T-virus mutants: “This movie doesn’t utilize zombies that much. It’s much more focused on the weird creature stuff than the zombies. There’s really only two scenes, maybe three, where there’s proper zombie stuff going on. And two of those three are in the trailer.”
