I went and saw it in the theater and bought a digital copy of it Tuesday.
It's a gory action movie with a pretty decent Christmas movie in there and I was there for the whole thing.

Who are you to decide for other people what to watch?

Sounds like an amazing film

I watched it, I liked it. It's not supposed to be a masterpiece. It's not pretending to be one. It's a fun, rated R, gory, violent, action flick. Not everything has to be deep, and meaningful.

Watched it and it was fun and fine? You removed your post, don’t understand posting something you aren’t gonna have a point to stick with.

Any reason why it got removed? I mean I never said I loved or even liked it. I said it was “fun” and “fine”. Would I watch it again by choice? No.

It’s made for a passive audience….mainly gen z audiences

Watching movies in general is a passive experience
Like what does being an "active audience" member even mean lol?

It’s all down to narrative receptive audience theory. Like todorovs theory of audiences. The film is made with receptive well known actors such as an actor moving from stranger things to this film.
We’re enticed to watch it due to that.
Then we have a basic three step narrative of initial story, disruption and resolution.
In all you are not a passive audience. You are active because you like to question the film and divulge deeper.
Violent night was not made for the audience to question the backgrounds or the emotions of the character’s development.
It’s made to make money especially using the Christmas tis the seasons gimmick.

No offense but 90-95% of movies (and especially Christmas moves) on Netflix and Hallmark Movies are literally this.
Movies don’t have to all be masterpieces. Some can just be passively entertaining.
If this movie can be (very) passively entertaining - seems like a win to me…if that’s how I want to spend 2 hours and $50 on a movie and concessions.
