Santastein

Santastein is a high school Christmas horror comedy take on the classic Frankenstein tale.

It all begins with Max, who accidentally killed Santa when he was 9 years old.

In an attempt to capture evidence of his existence.

So he has dedicated his life to fixing this mistake...with hopes of restoring the magic of Christmas.

However, all his efforts fail...until he teams up with the smartest girl in school for a science project.

Together they manage to bring a rat back from the dead.

Which leads Max to believe he can do the same thing for Santa.

But he only has Santa's brain.

So he must steal a newly deceased body from the morgue; swap it's brain for Santa's; and harness an electrical charge strong enough to reanimate him.

Not realizing how big of a mistake this actually is, until it's too late.

Because he's not the sort of Santa he thought he'd be.

Rather, one with an insatiable bloodlust he immediately puts into action.

Now Santa's on a killing spree.

So they must concoct a plan to stop him...without totally ruining Christmas in the process.

What starts out as a cheesy, high school, horror comedy...ends up taking quite the vicious turn in the third act.

Which is quite action packed.

And all sorts of gory fun.

It is rather low budget, though.

And suffers from some severe audio-balancing issues.

But, that aside, it's actually pretty great.

In a super culty sort of way.

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Finding it to be pretty darn fun.

So, must say...it's definitely worth a watch.

Just remember to stick with it, and wait for the payoff.

Because it's totally worth it.

5 out of 10.
