4/10
Good Gore Bad Script
1 December 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Yea not much to say here. Good gore some good Kill scenes. Cool looking Killer Santa Not much else. Sad to see this movie get put into production when way more plausible scripts are left on the shelf.

As I watched this movie I kept thinking back to the original and to be honest for a really low budget cheesy movie as the original was I kept thinking to myself how much better it is than this remake.

So to end this if your a gore fan and you want to waste an hour and a half on a new movie by all means but i'd suggest not wasting much or any money to do so.

all others avoid.

NOW SPOILERS

CMON PPl who praise this film! Terrible acting with good actors in the roles (or at least decent actors in the roles) Totally unplauseable scenes IE. Naked woman escaping through window running down street stark naked bloody screaming and instead of plausibly staying on a street she decides to run into a field with a woodchipper!!!! Terribly written is all that needs to be said to that Malcolm Mcdowells death was stupid your telling me he couldn't shoot santa before santa got the flamethrower off Please... I love horror movies and consider myself a Horror Geek but I need my movie to make sense or be plausible to some degree I can let certain things go but too much and the movie can suck right away. There are a lot more implauable scenes Little Girl Kill, How Santa Killer knows ppl are sinners? etc etc etc but no need to go through all of them

As I said good gore but no scary scenes period none! no pop out moments no killer stalking victims in dark corridors with eerie music everything is done with action music and in daylight mostly

Horribly developed characters what the heck was Donal Logue even doing in the movie? Killer was very little Developed to.

I could go on but really do I need to..

I expected a lot more from this movie. Yes these quality films upset me cause it will be a big renter and a big let down to a lot of people. and these are the kinds of movies that gets us only PG rated horror because big studio's wont shell out money on R horror cause they don't get big money at theatres (Mainly because adults see trash like this and think they are not going to get a quality film which in most cases they are right) and kids if allowed in will go see anything and pay. So praise it but its like the early 90's the death of horror. Thank god for foreign horror right now.. Thanks
