After her niece, "Mary" (Vanessa Dubasso), is drugged and assaulted at a college party by three members of the football team, a biker named "Maggie" (Serinda Swan) convinces her gang, led by "Trigga" (Pollyanna McIntosh), to hunt down the men responsible and make them pay. They go to a favorite nightclub where they often gather, and after spiking the men's drinks, Trigga and her crew persuade them to follow them outside to a quiet spot. Once there, they are subdued, branded, and left half-naked on campus, visible to everyone until they wake up. A young man named "Brian Cattrel" (Diego Boneta), whom Maggie believes had nothing to do with Mary's ordeal, is left out of the humiliation, which infuriates Trigga, who suspects Maggie has gone soft for not including him. Unfortunately, the tension between these two women worsens when the man behind Mary's attack, "Keegan Harris" (Jake Lockett), subsequently coerces his two friends into waging a war against the female biker gang, and to Maggie's frustration, Brian is caught in the middle of it all. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say this could have been a decent biker film if, instead of constantly resorting to brute force, the women had been a bit more strategic in their approach. As it stood, the overall film seemed quite silly and pretentious. Be that as it may, although I don't consider this to be a terribly bad biker movie, it was difficult for me to take it seriously, and I have rated it accordingly.
This film opens in London with an unidentified man dressed as Santa and a young woman making out in a car when someone arrives and kills both of them for no clear reason. Soon after, he also kills another man dressed as Santa at a party, watched by several terrified witnesses, including the murdered man's daughter, "Kate Brioski" (Belinda Mayne). As yet another Santa is killed shortly afterward, Scotland Yard assigns two detectives, "Chief Inspector Harris" (Edmund Purdom) and "Sergeant Powell" (Mark Jones), to investigate and catch the person responsible. Unfortunately, as the killings continue, more pressure mounts on Chief Inspector Harris to solve the case even though he has few clues about his suspect. I will just say this was a rather dull slasher flick, mainly because of Edmund Purdom's lackluster acting and a general lack of suspense. In fact, aside from a few scenes involving a young woman named "Sherry Graham" (Kelly Baker), there wasn't anything remarkable about this movie, and I have rated it accordingly.
For reasons revealed later in the film, a beautiful single mother named "Katrina Jackson" (Angell Conwell) doesn't particularly enjoy Christmas and goes out of her way to avoid holiday celebrations. Her ex-husband, "DeMarco Gamble" (London Brown), however, loves Christmas and wants to spend as much time as possible with their young daughter, "Tiffany" (Maci Wilson), during the holiday season. He also enjoys sharing an intimate Christmas Eve with her every year, even though neither of them truly intends to reconcile afterward. Unfortunately, she is somewhat upset with him and has canceled their yearly plans. However, she quickly changes her mind when she finds out he is dating an equally attractive young woman named "Vilisa Whitaker" (Faune Chambers Watkins). It's only after he rejects Katrina that she becomes obsessed with ruining the happiness they seem to share. I will just say that this film had both good and bad points; on the plus side, I thought Angell Conwell played her role almost perfectly. On the other hand, although this film was billed as a comedy, I didn't see much humor here at all. If anything, it's more of a feel-good romance movie, but even then, it suffers to some degree. Additionally, aside from Angell Conwell and perhaps Faune Chambers Watkins, the acting wasn't that good, largely because of the weak script, in my opinion. In any case, while I certainly don't consider this a great movie by any means, I also wouldn't call it terrible, and I've rated it accordingly.
