Blah. So this film was easily one of the most disappointing of the era, at least in my opinion. I expected something like Silent Night Deadly Night (I guess I'm pampered, haha) and instead got a flick about a kid who caught his mom being groped by a guy in a Santa suit who grew up to LOOOOVE Christmas and do things to punish naughty kids. He eventually snaps and kills...a couple of people and ends up being hunted by parents and protected by kids. Yeah...this wasn't the treat I expected it to be and the ending, while deliberately over the top, was so bad I thought my eyes would fall out from rolling so hard. I might be a little too hard on the film but..bah humbug.

It's worth watching for Jeffrey DeMunn who would later appear in The Mist and The Walking Dead.

I liked this. I don't get the hate. Well I do, but I thought it was pretty good.

I just love that resigned look on Santa's face while he wields an ax in one hand and another hand on top of his sack..!

:blink:

Um. Might've phrased that wrong .

I like this one a lot. It's no SNDN, but it's a pretty fun, atmospheric, nasty little movie. The ending? Oh boy....

Sounds good Barry. This is another slasher I haven't gotten around too.

It's not great art, but there is fun to be had IMO. I thought it was pretty atmospheric and really felt like the season in ways.

F.Y.I. Brandon Maggart, who plays the killer Santa, is the father of singer Fiona Apple.

It really ISN'T good. Total bore and pretty much all of the kills are in one damn scene. Lots of unintentionally funny moments and it IS kind of creepy that this dude is watching all of these random little kids to decide whose naughty or nice. Other than that, its a waste of time.

Maniac is even more atmospheric and I don't see you in a hurry to watch that. (eyeroll)

This really did suck for the most part. :/

I watch this every year with the superior Silent Night, Deadly Night. I wasn't bored with it at all.

The movie also features an early appearance from Patricia Richardson ("Home Improvement").

This movie sucked. I hated it. His past is stupid, doesn't make sense why he went crazy. Most of the kills are on one scene like Zombi said. The characters are unlikable. It was pretty dull for the most part and just felt pointless. It's not funny to me and the music sucks ass. I wouldn't watch this crap again.
I did not have fun with this like others have.

I don't hate it as much as I used to but yeah....far from a fave and imo, its toward the bottom of the pile as far as Christmas slashers go.
