Silent Night, Bloody Night: The Homecoming

[endo]

"The abandoned home of Wilfred Butler, a wealthy but troubled man who committed suicide in 1982, has been willed to his grandson, Jeffrey. The house has sat in disarray since Wilfred's death, standing in the way of developers who want to turn the property into residential homes. Just before Christmas 2012, some thirty years after Wilfred's death, Jeffrey and his lawyer appear in town to negotiate the sale of the property. But an axe-wielding maniac has set up residence in the house, and he doesn't take kindly to strangers."


Details on the movie:
Filming is aimed to begin sometime in March or April of 2012 on location in South Wales.
Writer/producer Andrew Jones was quoted saying: "[This] will be a modern updating of the original story, but we also want to re-capture the atmosphere of the slasher films from the 1970s and 80s. There will be a keen focus on practical FX, genuine suspense, and compelling storytelling. This could be one of the rare cases when a new version of a classic actually benefits the original film. We hope that by bringing SILENT NIGHT, BLOODY NIGHT: THE HOMECOMING to a modern audience, they will also seek out the 1974 film and appreciate its importance in horror cinema history."
Production company North Bank Entertainment also produced Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection.
This is a remake of the 1974 film Silent Night, Bloody Night.

Need to see a trailer or something but it sounds OK. I didn't even know the original movie was a movie. Have to look into that one.

I think I have the original in one of my 50 movie packs. This sounds pretty cool though, especially since they wanna use practical effects.

Never even heard of the original. Now I have to watch both of them.
