SIlent Night Deadly Night Part 4: Initiation. 1990.
A investigative journalist looking into the mysterious death of a woman who fell from a rooftop while on fire and is slowly seduced by a coven of witches.
The first three movies dealt with two psychotic brothers who hate christmas and go on a murder spree, the makers have ditched that and went for something different that a coven of witches come out of hiding for the festive season. Brian Yuzna takes the director's chair for this one and does try his best to go with it. Neith Hunter is the female journalist in a man's world lead by Reggie Bannister who seems to think women can't do anything right except make a coffee. Maud Adams is the librarian and leader of the coven and actually does shine on the screen. Clint Howard is the weird homeless bug collector and we find out what his agenda is. This can develop into a love/hate relationship with the film for anyone.
