Silent Night, Deadly Night V

                                                                       

 

                        He's Home... But He's Not Alone.

 

This film is a sequel to part 4, which is not in turn a sequel to part 3 (if that makes sense). Nonetheless, someone has been leaving these little toys gift-wrapped for a young boy named Derek. The first one is unwrapped by his suspicious father. It looks like an oversized Pokeball, but soon reveals itself to be a demented Santa music box that churns out a death march before attaching itself to dad.

Witnessing his father’s death has rendered Derek mute. Mum, on the other hand, doesn’t seem all too broken up. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to tell her spouse had passed away at all. Susan (Jane Higginson) makes sandwiches for her son and otherwise behaves as if nothing happened. To be fair, she does express some mild concern for her son, and decides to buy him a nice toy to cheer him up.

Susan and Derek stop by Petto’s Toys, in the hope of finding the perfect gift. Joe Petto runs his shop with his son Pino, a stiff young boy with few social skills. When not imploring Derek to take a toy he built (a charming number called Larry the Larvae), he’s breaking into Susan’s house and sniffing around her underwear drawer. All the while, packages keep showing up for Derek. He manages to ditch them one after another, unfortunately they end up mutilating whoever else happens to find them. A pair of rocket-powered rollerblades sends poor Lonnie into the path of a speeding car and straight into traction. Another toy burrows into some poor fool’s head while driving, causing him to run off the road.

Who the toy maker is, isn’t exactly clear. At this point in time there are too many questions - who’s that strange guy always lurking around the neighbourhood? And what’s up with Joe? Did he really sabotage some toys and mangle a bunch of kids years ago? And is Pino what he really seems? The answer to the last question is no.....and you will have to watch to find out what is actually going on!!
