XXX-mas

Off the bat, I'm a little biased because I have an Associate Producer credit. That being said, other than Felissa Rose's involvement and the basic premise, I knew very little about the film until I actually got to watch it. I was not disappointed. As someone who actively worships in the slasher genre, I have seen way worse films than this. The premise is interesting because the killer is really Santa Claus, not just some guy in a suit. The plot is a little thin, as they usually are, but the motive reveal twist is still very satisfying. On point special effects, very splattery. Considering the type of film this is, ample nudity from both sides of the spectrum, and a lot of the ladies are super curvy and the boobs are real. Even the performances are mostly not bad. My one gripe is the tag on ending. Generally in slasher films there's a tag on ending that tends to leave things "open" in case a sequel happens. Open to a sequel, just confused as to what even happened in that final scene. Anyway, a perfect addition to anyone's holiday horror list.

I preordered a Blu Ray of XXX-Mas based on Drew Marvick and Jessa Flux being in the movie. It was well worth the wait!

XXX-Mas is a great blend of horror and humor, with practical special effects. A group of filmmakers get together to make a holiday themed "adult" film. They call up their all-star cast and pitch their idea for making a Christmas themed adult film with a plot. The shoot starts out well enough until an unhinged Santa crashes the party! Drew Marvick is excellent as Santa, delivering plenty of one liners with his kills. Santa really has a thing for his milk and cookies.

The movie moves along at a fast pace and always keeps you engaged. The cast is outstanding! I don't think I've seen a better cast together in one indie horror film before.

Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), Drew Marvick (Murdercise), and one my favorites, Jessa Flux (Murdercise, Debbie Does Demons) are a few of my favorites in the cast. A shout-out to Dolly Leigh too, I've never seen her in anything before, but I really liked her too!

Checkout XXX-Mas, it's a great Christmas themed horror comedy.

We went to see this fully expecting to enjoy it. But it greatly surpassed our expectations. James Dean proves you don't need a large budget to put out a purely entertaining film. Drew Marvick absolutely slays it (or should that say sleighs it) as a demented Santa Claus bringing a bit of humor. Dolly Leigh as Julie Treats is wonderful in the survivor damsel in distress role and it is always great to see Felicia Rose on the screen. Marianna Montes brings a sense of innocence to the proceedings as Sara the film assistant. I also have to give some shoutouts to Madelyn Paige as Foxy, Shaun Scott as Jack Rabbit and Kaity McAllister as Angel Luv for turning in some great performances in supporting roles.

"XXX-Mas" is a low-budget indie horror masterpiece that doesn't hold back on holiday thrills and chills! The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast led by Drew Marvick, Morrigan Thompson, Jessa Flux, Jonathan May, Chris Ruppert, and the iconic Felissa Rose, who deliver top-notch performances that elevate the movie.

Drew Marvick's portrayal of an indestructible killer Santa addicted to cookies and milk is a standout, bringing a terrifyingly festive edge to the character. The costumes, especially Drew's Santa get-up, are remarkably authentic, making him look more like the real deal than your typical mall Santa.

What sets "XXX-Mas" apart is its commitment to practical effects, which bring the gore and kills to life in a vivid and believable manner. The lone VFX kill is seamlessly integrated, showcasing the filmmakers' dedication to quality and authenticity.

The movie's soundtrack is filled with classic Christmas tunes and adds a layer of festive ambiance to the blood-splattered chaos. From the outset, the kills come thick and fast, making use of the large ensemble cast to create suspense and unpredictability. Director James Dean doesn't shy away from delivering what the title promises - there are plenty of thrills, spills, and ample doses of both horror and holiday titillation.

Clocking in at a brisk 72 minutes, "XXX-Mas" wastes no time, making it a perfect addition to the seasonal watchlist. It's an instant Christmas classic that promises annual revisits, thanks to its unabashed embrace of the holiday spirit, mixed with a healthy dose of horror. Special mention goes to Rudy Ledbetter, a consistent presence in indie horror, adding his signature touch to the film.

For lovers of festive frights, "XXX-Mas" is a must-watch, offering a gleefully twisted take on the yuletide season that'll leave viewers both horrified and filled with holiday cheer.

Had a chance to watch James Dean's movie XXX-Mas. It's a fun Christmas slasher movie, starring Drew Marvick as a blood-thirsty Santa who wreaks havoc on the set of an eccentric adult film director's latest production.

While you have horror icon Felissa Rose in the cast, this is easily Morrigan Milam's best role, delivering strong leading role performance as "Kristy", while the roles of Dolly Leigh, Jonathan May and Jessa Daisy round up, while Chris Ruppers delivers a perfect act as the film director.

Oh, and if you are making an indipendent movie there is no way you let Rudy Ledbetter out of the cast.
