When a former couple's bitter custody dispute spills over into the Christmas holidays, a distraught mother tries to weaponize their child, by attempting to steal him back from her husband on Christmas Eve.
Only for things to be interrupted by a Burton-esque masked, knife, axe, and machete wielding maniac, in a Santa suit, to intervene...with his own festive plans...to kill everyone off.
Which definitely makes it a Christmas to dismember.
The unfortunate thing here is, that after starting off half decently, the latter portion is notably void of any blood.
Which, for an axe murder based slasher film, is a bit of a faux pas.
On top of that, the whole final scene played out too quickly, without showing a whole lot.
Which was rather disappointing, really.
As I feel like, with a minimal amount more effort, it could have been substantially better.
But it is what it is...yet another bargain basement homemade attempt at making a Christmas horror slasher.
