Letters to Satan Claus

Low budget, stupid fun parody of Hallmark Christmas movies. If you take it as intended, it's actually a pretty good film.

The premise signals not to take the movie serious so lower your expectations from the outset. The movie does deliver on some tidbits of pitch dark humor and fun gory surprises. If you are a person who laughs at inappropriate jokes then you will find a few sensible chuckles scattered about the film. I have two chief complaints: 1. It did not go far enough with the dark humor. It felt like they were tempering the laughs for fear of being too offensive. They sandwhich the dark bits between light-hearted 'human' momments. This hurts the pacing and is unnecessary. Anyone who signs on for the premise of a Santa letter to Satan wants to be taken on a full blown offensive humor ride. Spare us the feel good coddling. We don't need it. 2. Christmas movies traditionally have a happy, hopeful, ending filled with redemption, and this movie is no exception, but it feels like wimping out here. I didn't want to smile at the conclusion. I wanted a sick punchline to make me groan out a wicked laugh, so I feel cheated in that sense. Bottom line: Fun premise with a few fun momments. Worth a watch, but falls short of its dark promise.

I gave it a 3/10 for the first 17 minutes, but really though, it somehow redeems itself around the 20minute mark.

Then it's so cheesy, kinda cheesy good. I even giggled a little. It's a fun silly little watch. A perfect distraction from 2020.

Once you seen a movie in this genre you will realise they all suck in terms of quality as well as direction. I have seen worst quality movies of this low level so take my feedback as well as my scoring as acceptable for the movie in question.

Just wanted to add that I have never seen so many unattractive women iin one movie so lost more points just on that factor.

Overall if you fancy a Xmas horror movie based on what has come before as well as after then this movie might be for you.

Gather Covid couldn't stop this movie from going forward so it was meant to be in terms of general release.

5/10.

A silly parody of the Christmas romantic comedy genre with more meet-cutes and story morals than you can count. It's not as over the top as many of the Syfy films, but it has a lot of laughs and is quite joyful. It is to Hallmark what Sharknado was to Jaws.
