Reviews for Santa Smokes
Made in 2002, Santa Smokes could rightfully be called the first incarnation of the 'bad Santa.'
[Terror and Valentien] manage to capture the essence of the Big Apple in the only way possible: off the cuff and entirely on the fly.
The story of Johnny (Mr. Schauder), a struggling young actor with problems all around.
Who says you need a big crew and tons of money to make an enjoyable movie?
Overall the acting is sound, the missteps few, and the murky digicam smash-and-grab sheen entirely apt for the cacophonous Christmas crush.
