I know it is important to lay down the foundation of a story/plot, but at what point do you just get on with business.
I am not a big fan of horror Christmas movies. There has only been a select few that can even be called really good.
Unfortunately Christmas Bloody Christmas is not one of them.
It is a shame, because I was really liking the idea of the plot, it just fell way short in delivery.
Others might love it, and good on them for making a film.
Unfortunately, the movie fails to improve once the deadly elf shows up. The action and kill scenes are muddy-looking and the 16mm cameras used for most of the filming are not effective. The best parts of the movie are the early scenes between Tori and her employee, Robbie, where they have a believable and tedious edge to their conversations.
Overall, the movie struggles to make the characters' seasonal disenchantment seem more real than the high-concept circumstances. The swear words, pop references, and counter-cultural poses that define Tori and Robbie's relationship are perfunctory and do not add to the story. While the writer and director clearly has affection for the characters, it is not enough to save the movie.
So when an Christmas decoration - which was a plastic Santa Clause which mysteriously came to life - you know it's not going to be a serious movie.
There was no magic, no spells, just a very brief news flash talking about those particular decorations are being recalled.
It didn't say why.
What I saw was just a pretty 2 dimensional Santa with a plastic face that just said "HO-HO-HO" as you walked past it.
But then suddenly, and for absolutely no reason whatsoever, it comes to life a starts killing people with a variety of weaponry.
I could easily sit here and talk about how a decoration witch a motion sensor and a few phrases installed become self aware and immediately decide to murder people in the most horrific ways, but I won't.
I've got my handful of sand.
There's no storyline, it's just a horror thrown out in time for Christmas, and it's amusing enough.
But the T-800 Santa ain't playing games. I think he might very well be Cyberdine.
Because thus dude is relentless. He is a killer. He will not stop until he has completed his mission John Connor!
Yeah, so an anamatronic Santa that wasn't anamorphic, maybe in the head.
But basically he's out to kill everyone he sees... I don't know why and probably never will!
I'm not going to put spoilers in, because I don't think there are any.
You could probably read the bits I've written in a synopsis.
I love horrors.
I don't even care if they're dumb like this one.
I just love a horror.
Don't expect too much from this movie, because it does get more and more ridiculous. But I just killed 1:27:01 watching it.
It's definitely no masterpiece. But who cares?
Ho-Ho-Ho!
