Santa Claus: Looks like Grandpa got ran over by a reindeer. "He's making a list... pray you're not on it."Well Santa's Slay is exactly what you would expect from a killer Santa movie featuring Bill Goldberg. I actually had a pretty good time watching it, even as it got a little tiresome near the end. The producers and
director where smart though and knew that they shouldn't overstay their welcome and stopped after about 70 minutes. Anymore and I would have disliked it much more. Obviously this isn't high class filmmaking at work. It's a fucking killer Santa demon, so it's going to be stupid. If you don't like stupid, B-movie horror then don't watch it. I love reading reviews from people who watched this movie and then complained about it being stupid. Read the synopsis. They weren't hiding it; that is the appeal. So the good Santa we have seen for the last 1000 years is a result of a bet he made with an angel. Now Santa's time is up and he is ready to get back to what he is really about... killing. The cast actually isn't that bad, with some decent character actors, a cameo from James Caan and the beautiful Emilie de Ravin, who I think I might just be in love with. Bill Goldberg makes for a pretty good, humorous and huge Santa. Not a bad movie to start the Christmas season off with. Normally I'll watch something like Miracle on 34th Street to get started, but a movie with a killer Santa just seemed a little more interesting.
