Christmas Bloody Christmas

In 1984 the forbidden killer Santa Claus movie Silent Night Deadly Night opened and was pulled like a week later. Not before my uncle took me and my cousins to see it playing at the theater down the street. Moms were picketing theaters for its depiction of an axe wielding Santa. That movie was awesome for its time and became a cult classic. Well guess what moms who tried to ruin adolescent fun?? Those kids grew up and made this! Think 1984, the year of Terminator and Silent Night.

Except all the fun is missing and a lot more dialog than normal for what's supposed to be a throwback horror flick. The Santa is cross between the terminator and the killer Santa in Silent Night Deadly Night. At about 90minutes, you're gonna get some pretty clever make up effects for a low budget movie and a cheesy ending. Still, it's not bad, but for those of us who remember the 80s cheese, this could have been a lot better.

Still, there's sleaze and plenty of cheese with this malfunctioning killer robot.
