Werewolf Santa

"Santa's turned into a werewolf."

"I'll get my jacket."

Sometimes movies know they're silly. Sometimes a movies grandest ambition is to be silly; that is the case with Werewolf Santa, and I can't claim it doesn't achieve that.

Unsuccessful paranormal blogger Lucy (with lame rocker boyfriend in tow), head to her family town for Christmas. While she expects her biggest problem to be clashes with her divorced parents (Emily Booth and Mark Arnold), the Yuletide spirits flip when a werewolf attacks Santa Clause, sending him on a gloriously goofy, bloody rampage.

The budget is undeniably low, but the core cast of likeable characters keep the film entertaining and enjoyable throughout. By the way, Emily Booth needs to be recognised as the British Elvira, not just for sex symbol status, but also for great comedic timing.

If you like Christmas horrors that don't take themselves too seriously, you could do a lot worse.

I honestly believe that I could make a better movie and I cant act and I haven't exactly got a big budget to deal with either. But for the 70 minutes I spent watching this film with my family we all had a laugh watching the bad acting, the absolute no sense writting. I can be forgiven for a film with a low budget and a unique name but this was awful. They did at least try and comparing this to some big budget Hollywood films this one at least had some character to it. At the end of the day I laughed my way through this movie and had a good time watching it, maybe I'm laughing at how bad it is rather then the film itself. But like I said I could do better.

Werewolf Santa (watched on DVD)

After Santa is bitten on Christmas Eve, amateur monster hunter Lucy witnesses his transformation into a werewolf. Armed with only a rusty ice skate and a vague understanding of how werewolves operate, Lucy and her family set out to save Christmas.

This was a fun watch. Although the budget partially restricted some effects and script in places, this didn't stop Airell Anthony Hayles and the team from creating a fun, British horror B movie. Katherine Rodden does a great job as a foul mouthed badass blogger.

The comic book opening and text box wraparounds didn't work for me, as they looked cheap and contradicted the found footage style.

The practical effects worked in most places, but fell flat in others.

The script was funny, some gags a bit flat in places, and enough werewolf lore to keep it "believable"

Overall, just based on the subject matter story, it IS worth a watch, just go in open minded and middle expectations. Fun found footage horror comedy.

I recently watched Werewolf Santa (2023) on Tubi. The storyline follows Santa as he's out delivering presents on Christmas Eve when he's attacked and turned into a werewolf. Meanwhile, a local blogger with a struggling YouTube channel finds her hometown plagued by werewolves-an unexpected turn that might just be the big break she's been looking for.

Written and directed by Airell Anthony Hayles (Spider Inside Hernandez), the film stars Katherine Rodden (Blood Clots), Mark Arnold (Blade Runner 2049), Emily Booth (Inbred), and John Bloom (a.k.a. Joe Bob Briggs).

The film opens with a fun animated sequence narrated by Joe Bob Briggs, which, along with the Santa Claus orgy in the woods, ends up being one of the most memorable parts of the movie. The ladies in that scene are certainly eye-catching, but beyond that, the film falters. The jokes fall flat, the werewolf costumes look like something from Party City, the corpses are unimpressive, and there aren't any notable kills. But hey, at least there's a Santa orgy...

In conclusion, Werewolf Santa is exactly as bad as you'd expect. I'd score this a 3/10-unless you're in the mood for something intentionally terrible, in which case this might be just what you're looking for.

This is called 'Werewolf Santa,' it was evidently made on a tiny budget and it's a found footage movie. One would be daft to anticipate a masterpiece. But even with expectations lowered to rock bottom this simply isn't very good. The hilarious possibilities for werewolf Santa mayhem are never realized, the characters are poorly-developed and the direction is fairly incompetent from the perspective of spatial coherence. All of which might be forgivable if the dialogue was funny, which it generally isn't aside from a few dry one-liners. The premise merited a manic, high-energy gorefest but this one stays stuck in second gear through a tepid finale.
