Post Re: Santa's Slay
B-


I suppose the title, the plot description and the poster say it all here. The film is ridiculously silly and fully enjoying it. There are surprising appearances by Chris Kattan, Fran Drescher and Rebecca Gayheart in the film's opening scenes which is probably also the film's most fun moment. The rest of the movie is pretty much what one would expect of a movie like this, but the problem is that it never really goes overboard. Neither the ridiculousness nor the gore is ever over-the-top. It simply does not live up enough to its concept. It also looks really really cheap at times (I assume it was) and usually tries to score rather cheap laughs too.

Now it is still fun, especially drunk and since there aren't that many Christmas-themed horror movies out there, I assume it is actually among the better ones. But talk about wasted potential here...

I haven't seen this since it first hit DVD but I remember the beginning being hysterical and after that it just started getting boring. I believe it gave it a 6/10.

I think I gave this a C+. It was entertaining enough.
