The people, the sets, the landscape, the language and politics are all blanched, bleached and hoary white. The only thing darker than the unfettered and ubiquitous snow was the token “Mammie” (Louise Beavers) and her two little…

All the information you need to decide if Violent Night is worth your money is right there in the movie poster. It’s like Sharknado.
