Christmas Bloody Christmas

I really did go into this film wanting to love it. However, I found it quite tedious. Too much dialogue, I was at the point when I was thinking 'stop talking' Could I keep going on and last the distance.

I know it is important to lay down the foundation of a story/plot, but at what point do you just get on with business.

I am not a big fan of horror Christmas movies. There has only been a select few that can even be called really good.

Unfortunately Christmas Bloody Christmas is not one of them.

It is a shame, because I was really liking the idea of the plot, it just fell way short in delivery.

Others might love it, and good on them for making a film.

A first time rewatch since this movie originally came out The dialogue is mind numbingly boring We as a audience spend approximately the first 30 minutes listening to a very boring couple getting to know each other and the language made me blush (I don't blush easily) I heard a lot of people comparing the writing to a Rob Zombie movie I don't necessarily agree with that and yes I know some people who can't talk without cussing I personally have been accused of being able to out cuss a sailor back in my day But this just feels forced and unnecessary Background noise to me I just wish if they were going to spend so much time with our two lead characters That they would have spent more time on character building But once the action starts it's a pretty cool movie "Terminator Santa" rocks in my opinion.

What a deeply unpleasant bunch of people inhabit this town. Pretty much every single character can't complete a single sentence without punctuating it with the f-bomb several times a syllable. Their interaction with each of their companions gives the word 'shallow' new depths of meaning. And when the Robot Santa begins his reign of axe-fuelled mayhem, you find yourself hoping that every one of the cast are gathered in one room so the slaughter will be quick and thorough, and we can present Robot Santa with a well-earned cup of tea and a medal for rescuing us from such a vacuous bunch of idiots.

In "Christmas Bloody Christmas," the military-industrial complex has created a killer robot Santa. The movie begins with a series of fake TV ads for Christmas-themed promotions and events, and it's clear that something is going to go wrong with the RoboSanta+. The story follows disenchanted record store owner Tori Tooms as she fights against the evil robot Santa.

Unfortunately, the movie fails to improve once the deadly elf shows up. The action and kill scenes are muddy-looking and the 16mm cameras used for most of the filming are not effective. The best parts of the movie are the early scenes between Tori and her employee, Robbie, where they have a believable and tedious edge to their conversations.

Overall, the movie struggles to make the characters' seasonal disenchantment seem more real than the high-concept circumstances. The swear words, pop references, and counter-cultural poses that define Tori and Robbie's relationship are perfunctory and do not add to the story. While the writer and director clearly has affection for the characters, it is not enough to save the movie.

This movie has to be taken with much more than a grain of salt, because it doesn't ask to be taken seriously.

So when an Christmas decoration - which was a plastic Santa Clause which mysteriously came to life - you know it's not going to be a serious movie.

There was no magic, no spells, just a very brief news flash talking about those particular decorations are being recalled.

It didn't say why.

What I saw was just a pretty 2 dimensional Santa with a plastic face that just said "HO-HO-HO" as you walked past it.

But then suddenly, and for absolutely no reason whatsoever, it comes to life a starts killing people with a variety of weaponry.

I could easily sit here and talk about how a decoration witch a motion sensor and a few phrases installed become self aware and immediately decide to murder people in the most horrific ways, but I won't.

I've got my handful of sand.

There's no storyline, it's just a horror thrown out in time for Christmas, and it's amusing enough.

But the T-800 Santa ain't playing games. I think he might very well be Cyberdine.

Because thus dude is relentless. He is a killer. He will not stop until he has completed his mission John Connor!

Yeah, so an anamatronic Santa that wasn't anamorphic, maybe in the head.

But basically he's out to kill everyone he sees... I don't know why and probably never will!

I'm not going to put spoilers in, because I don't think there are any.

You could probably read the bits I've written in a synopsis.

I love horrors.

I don't even care if they're dumb like this one.

I just love a horror.

Don't expect too much from this movie, because it does get more and more ridiculous. But I just killed 1:27:01 watching it.

It's definitely no masterpiece. But who cares?

Ho-Ho-Ho!
