Movie Info

In this run-of-the-mill horror film, it is the Christmas season, and derelicts who need money for food and/or booze get jobs playing Saint Nick in the city's department stores. An insane killer has taken a strong dislike to these Santas and either violently does them in or disfigures them in very ugly ways. A Scotland Yard detective (Edmund Purdom, also the director) has been assigned to capture the serial killer, but when he is unable to get results fast enough, he is replaced by Sgt. Powell

R, 1 hr. 26 min.

This one's a really good time, even if it is painfully predictable at times. Large body count, featuring class gore most of which involving Santa Claus as the victim. This slasher takes the form of a who dunnit, but kind of fails on that front as it's pretty obvious who the killer is from the moment that character is

Pretty silly film, though it honestly seemed to make up for the goofy story with a high body count and some truly over the top kills.Worth a look at least once for the ridiculousness of it all, though I have to admit that I've moved it into my normal Christmas rotation.Rental.
