It's Christmas break at the Calvin Finishing School for Girls, and the students are planning a big party while the president of the school is away. A group of boys show up and the fun begins, until mysterious killer starts bumping off couples one by one. The police show up and promise to keep everyone safe, but they prove ineffectual against the crazed psycho. Could the killings have anything to do with the girl who was killed in an initiation stunt at the school a few years earlier?

This sounds pretty great! I might wait until it gets a good DVD release though. Sorry but I don't feel like having to squint to see what's happening on the screen.

This is available On Demand right now in the Free Movies section under Impact.

I watched it last night for the first time. More often than not, I am usually disappointed with the movies I've been trying to see for a while. This was no exception. It was mostly a bore. I fell asleep once, which is not a good sign. It was horribly shot by David Hess (love how it's so supposed to be night, but there is still light that can be seen!) The girls weren't much, except for Jennifer Runyon, and the kills were mostly ho hum. It was pretty bland and unexciting.

Actually watching this right now and I'm at the fifth death. Pretty impressive killcount, too bad only one has been good so far and the musical score is...very strange for a Christmas horror.

Yeah, the body count is pretty good, but most of them aren't anything to write home about.

I watched it. It didn't impress me. I could hardly make out what was happening and I only liked one or two of the girls. Not bad, not great, just kind of there I guess

This has 15+ kills so you're in for a treat! The ending's sort of a copy of another famous 1980 slasher, but oh well. This was still mostly fun. I just hate how damn DARK it is, urgh!

So far it's great, nice good kills and decent enough characters though it's sorta hard to see them LOL Though in daylight scenes the movie looks great! I just wish it had a slightly better score but no big complaints at all <3

Yeah the score is a bit wonky, almost feels like a temporary score lol. That and the appearance/darkness = the only things worth complaining about, really. With a better transfer, I'd gladly pick up a copy! (thumbsup)

Not much to say about this one other than it's pretty entertaining. Teens were getting killed left and right and while the final survivors were boring and predictable, I still enjoyed them. The twist with
Spoiler: click to toggle
was a nice little touch and I loved the Santa costume! My favorite kill had to be the barb wire kill, when "Santa" wrapped it around the boy's neck and lifted it up- the wire then cut through his neck. I wish the score had been a little more "present" as it was barely there and disappeared for a nice chunk of the movie, sort of took me out of it. But the only really negative thing I can say is about the bad transfer. It was extremely hard to tell the characters apart especially when the boys came because they're introductory scenes were in the dark so when the first few kills started happening I had no idea who was getting killed really LOL Add on to that there seemed to be a lot of characters so it made the whole discerning who is who even more confusing lol. But I was able to tell them apart once the final five came into play.

With an HD transfer and of course a much "lighter" version- this could EASILY be one of the best slashers. And you know what, I'm not going to take any points away from this because of it's look so-

8/10

I agree with pretty much everything you said. (thumbsup) I had a hard time telling the characters apart too, especially in the first half hour.
