Silent Night, Fatal Night, while gripping, isn't without its head-scratching moments. First off, there's this lack of a dead body, and yet, the world thinks Mallory's pushing up daisies - I mean, really? Then there's Mallory. Sure, she's in a tough spot, but girl, there are moments where you're wondering why she doesn't just bolt. Still, I thought she did a really nice job. We love a defiant queen! But let's talk Matthew Pohlkamp. He's got the whole villain vibe down - manipulating Mallory, holding her captive, his scary twitches - it's both intense and a bit over the top. And here's the thing, Pohlkamp's kind of become the go-to bad guy in these Lifetime movies. It'd be awesome to see him switch it up, maybe play the good guy for once. So, yeah, there are plot holes, but Pohlkamp's villain game is strong enough to keep you invested.
