Malcolm McDowell, Jaime King, wood-chipper, this looks pretty good, or least can't be all that bad. Well, unfortunately it wasn't a good Ol'slasher time, more of a bore. Although there was a lot of goofy moments, this film still plays a little too serious.
The kills: Now I read about how violent this film was, showing a 14 year old girl getting killed and the wood chipper death, I was intrigued. The closest thing I could compare it to is My bloody valentine (2009), funny King was in that too. This is pretty much a Christmas themed version of that film. For the most part, it's pretty standard stuff. The only notable one being Maria fed into the wood chipper. At first it's pretty good set up, but once she is inside it gets disturbing real fast. I mean this poor young woman has to do porno just to get a paycheck and survive in this dying town. And she gets the worst and most painful death I have ever seen in a slasher film. This once pretty girl is now a pile of bloody pulp, there's a thought for you. And the 14 year getting killed was too over the top and goofy to be taken seriously. The head getting split in half looked good. And lastly a classic brass knuckle beat down.
The two leads: Surprisingly both of them didn't sit right with me, but they played there parts well enough. The supporting cast includes: Some Jay (form Jay and silent bob) wannabe, some old Grampa that does a William Dafoe impersonation, and a douche bag Santa that makes kids cry. Well I'll give them props for being memorable. But the killers motivation to become a serial killer was ridiculous. He kills people who have been naughty, that's the jest of it.
The film was rather dull, and hard to sit through. It wasn't bad, it just was exciting.
