Silent Night Deadly Night 4: Initiation

You know, under normal circumstances, I would probably tear this one to shreds. It's only real creative impulse seems to be to try to gross the viewer out with bug puppets. But, after the wall of nothing that was Silent Night Deadly Night 3, hell, I'll take it.

Sure, it has nothing to do with the first three (unless you wanna pretend that Clint Howard is playing the same Ricky, and he's not), sure its commentary on sexism is lame and ham-fisted, sure it regurgitates every cliché that every single coven/cult movie has done since Rosemary's Baby. But it at least has a bit of energy here and there, which is more than I can say for the previous one.

Let's see, what else? Maud Adams is appropriately sinister as the head witch, some of the giant bug puppet are actually a little convincing, oh and Reggie Bannister of Phantasm pops up briefly. I love that guy. It's rather a shame the movie gives him f*ck-all to do, but still, he's there at least.
