Silent Night Deadly Night 3: Better Watch Out Synopsis: Ricky Caldwell, the notorious “Killer Santa Claus,” awakens from a six year coma after being kept alive on life-support by a slightly crazed doctor experimenting with ESP and other special abilities.

When Ricky decides to go after her, he leaves a trail of dead bodies in his wake.
Silent Night Deadly Night 4: Initiation Synopsis: A female reporter is investigating the death of a woman who, on fire, leapt off of a building to her death. The investigation leads her to discover the existence of a strange cult. The cult, dedicated to the Egyptian god Isis, now wants her as their new queen.
Silent Night Deadly Night 5: The Toymaker Synopsis: A young boy sees his father killed by a toy that was anonymously delivered to his house. After that, he is too traumatized to speak and his mother must deal with both him and the loss of her husband. Meanwhile, a toy maker named Joe Peto builds some suspicious-looking products while a mysterious man creeps around both the toy store and the boy’s house…but who is responsible for the killer toys?
Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
