Any thought on this one?

I bought it on the Synapse DVD little over a month ago. Can't say it was great, but I liked it. 6/10.

I like how little kills there were, so that when they did happen, it took more effect. Even if it was depressing. :(

Talk about a WTF ending? Anybody agree? Ho ho ho!

This movie was ok. I thought it was really dull and slow throughout most of it. The end,where the fan flew off into the sky like Santa's sleigh was cheesy, but ended the film on a not so depressing note.

I agree. I was like, as far as I remember, going off my rocker because it was sooooo slow. The end I liked, it was just...really wierd.

I don't think anyone expected that movie. I heard somewhere that the real 'evil' of Chistmas in that movie is the commercialism of the whole holiday.

I think I read that on the slip inside the Synapse DVD. The one with the Christmas Evil comic on the opposite side. "Lick, lick." Te-he, silliness.

yup, that's exactly where, I remember now. I actually bought this not too long ago. I think I may give it another watch because i watched it with a big clump of others so I probably didn't give it a fair chance.

Oh, I HATE watching cult horror with other people. They always diss it, and talk through the movie.

Examples are:
-Sleepaway Camp
-Friday the 13th Part V
-Dolls
-A Nightmare on Elm Street
-Don't Go In The Woods (although, that one is kinda allowed, haha)

Don't Go In The Woods had a great bodycount though. I don't think it was a bad movie over all.

Honestly, it was a terrible movie. One of the worst! But for entertainment value, it is one of the best! With cheese, high bodycounts, blood, and awkward moments, it made for one hell of a hilarious night. Overall, in technicalities, it's a horrible film! But if you want to have some fun, it's one of the best!

I think I'm gonna watch this today and try to get into the spirit. There is a dark tone to this film. I just wish is wasn't so damn slow!

I haven't seen it yet but own a double feature of it & Silent Night, Bloody Night. I'd like to own the Synapse version at some point.
