7/10
A cross between Silent Night Deadly Night and The Terminator
20 December 2022
Christmas Bloody Christmas (2022) is a movie that I recently watched on Shudder. The storyline follows a department store robotic Santa Clause that gets recalled shortly after they arrive in stores. One store decides to keep theirs through the holiday and quickly discover why they were recalled...

This movie is written and directed by Joe Begos (Bliss) and stars Riley Dandy (That's Amore), Sam Delich (Spiderhead), Jonah Ray (Victor Crowley), Jeff Daniel Phillips (3 from Hell) and Dora Madison (Bliss).

This reminded me of a cross between Silent Night Deadly Night and The Terminator. The ax scenes and kills in this are absolutely tremendous. There's some great gore, blood splatter and special effects throughout the movie. The soundtrack is also excellent. The acting and dialogue is solid, even if there are some forehand slapping opinions. The cinematography and use of lighting and colors is also very good. I did feel like they dragged out the ending a bit.

Overall, this is a unique addition to the holiday horror genre that's an absolute must see. I would score this a 6.5-7/10 and recommend seeing it once.
