Another silly Santa Slasher! The absolute perfect Christmas film, but who's the REAL Santa!? ...you'll probably know immediately. phelous.com / phelous Originally Released: December 23, 2014
"Piece of Cheleef" has stuck with me for 6 years, and will probably stick with me until the day I die... a week from retirement... as the Chief of Police.
04:08 I cannot believe this is actually the movie´s intro music. It sounds like from a cartoon. The movie is also on youtube in VHS quality, so I looked it up there.
I love watching these reviews of yours for the first time. I only started watching you after the Blipocolypse, so this way it feels like I'm watching your archive as if they're brand new.
Dunno, that "getting sick on the keyboard"-tune kind of reminded me of some bits from the Silent Hill series... in a better movie, game or other medium, that tune wouldn't be half bad.
Sigh. A full suit of armor would require someone helping the wearer get all the parts on. Plus it would be very heavy and actually.... why do I even care?
A lot of the cartoon movies I loved to watch as kid didn't even get a VHS release, let alone DVD, so I have no way to relive good old memories. And this crap gets a BluRay release...
This isn’t even close to the worst thing to get a Blu release, though I’m happy about that as an avid fan of Slashers and 80s Horror in general, there are Blu Ray companies that have made a fortune cleaning up and releasing a lot of old Slashers that most haven’t even heard of.
Maybe, but he's a bit more relevent here, as an actor from the 70's, who played Krug, in Wes Craven's "Last House on the left" His character name was also where Craven got (Freddy) Kruger from.
I know this is a Christmas horror movie, but since it got an HD rerelease on DVD in October of 2014, it only seems appropriate to watch this review during the Halloween season.
Someone got Their, "Sorority house massacre" , into my "Last Sleepover/Slumber Party" , with a dash of Suspiria, a bit of "Silent Night, Deadly Night" and a .....well, you get the idea ;) Cheers from Canada P.S. Thanks for putting Puma Man in my head. I just got it out a week ago! :)
12:40- No, that's a beer can with the Australian chick's blood. 13:09- They also used this music in Home Sweet Home, that Thanksgiving slasher film reviewed by The Cinema Snob in 2010. 21:39- Hey, look, it's Wonder Woman. She can help save the da... Oh, wait, it's just a Wonder Woman poster. Never mind.
*FUN FACT* This film was released on JANUARY 30th, 1980; 4 months BEFORE "Friday the 13th" which was released on May 9th! However the screenplay for "Friday" was finished in mid-1979.
Written by the Incredible Melting Man himself! ...Oh, hey, the nice guy who gets the girl at the end is ALSO named Alex!! 11:57 Jeez, do ALL Aussie girls have such low blood pressure? Is it all the alcohol? 12:56 Director David Hess should've demanded better, since he himself composed the score for Left House on the Left, listed in FactMag.com's "100 Greatest Horror Soundtracks." 13:26 Well, can't blame the killer there. She's running out of daylight-for-night, and digging even a shallow grave in that get-up has to be uncomfortable in the afternoon sun. 15:56 Again, digging all those graves, changing in and out of the Santa Killer costume, getting in and out of that suit of armor, and mopping up the incredibly weak arterial sprays eats up a LOT of time. Points for devotion to style though, right? 16:44 I take it back. But I love how the College Perfesser and the Mafia Goombah--I mean, LOCAL POLICE DETECTIVES--don't find those aforementioned shallow graves in what was no doubt their intensive search for the missing "kids." 21:10 FEATS OF STRENGTH!
@Phelan Porteous I watched this awful movie tonight and was glad to see you did a review. We need you to make more of these movie reviews and put the ninja turtles on pause please :)
I don't get why survivor girl didn't figure out who the killer was faster! I mean, according to Peter Venkman, she does have a psychic gift! Maybe she thought it was a bunch of a wavy lines killed everyone? Or a shooting Star! Who knows?
"Nothing says Christmas more than a piece of crap movie where Santa murders people." Yes! As long as it's Silent Night Deadly Night though, not this shit.
you know Phelous you were commenting on how casual the chief of detective was when he was talking with the young adults & how it seemed like they bribed him. But what you should have been commenting on how weird it was when the chief detective was holding that girl's face by her cheats the whole time that he was telling her about that crazy Ralph guy who they found dead & how Ralph basically just got out of a mental institution. I mean that part was really weird. The whole time that the cheap is telling her about this Ralph guy the chief has he's hand cuffed around her face holding her jaw & talkin about this Ralph guy in this sick twisted weird voice. you know maybe you should review that movie again and just see how screwed up that part was. You know it's just a thought...
I don't remember if I actually saw this one? Is the Red fade out, after the red herring dies, actually in the movie? I know there was some fun experimentation, with horror movies, around this era. With shock notices, bells and sirens, to warn people to turn away. First time it happened I freaked out! Maybe it was the shrooms, who knows. But yeah, was the red screen added by Phaelous?

Let's say, hypothetically, I am a barbie girl. Okay let's even say I'm in a barbie world. Right so, in this scenario, I would obviously know from personal experience that life in plastic is fantastic. Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume you could brush my hair and undress me literally everywhere? Imagination; you can derive from the fundamentals of basic logic that life is your creation.
I hate Santa Slashers and Santa is Evil and all those other horror movies around Christmas who go for the easy out. "DUH, let's make Santa EVIL, DDUUUURRR!" Cute guys, so original and clever. It's not like there's a perfectly legitimate Evil version of Santa Claus that you could actually use. But hey, an evil Germanic demon just isn't as sensational as Santa murdering someone. It's so trendy to make Santa a demon or a monster or evil because it's like so counter-culture. Yeah believe in Santa, he's real, he's the embodiment of greed and authoritarian power and he's actually evil because of all the things in that Christmas Carol we can misconstrue as sinister. It's a fucking load of hipster bullshit. You want an evil Christmas horror icon? Krampus. Just stick with fucking Krampus. He works and you don't have to go the bullcrap route of making Santa evil that's been done to friggin death. You're not being hip, you're not being original and you're most certainly not saying anything meaningful about the Holiday or the icon himself. Making cute and cuddly nice things murderous psychos is not interesting, it's lazy and boring.
This got me thinking: what if there was a "serious" Santa movie where he was the good guy? Not like in all those Christmas movies, but like a badass Santa going around shooting demons or something, instead of murdering people.
cheezdoodle96 That would actually be interesting, since quite a few comics bother to attempt doing just that. And there is a bit of a precedent for St. Nicholas fighting evil in some capacity. Maybe not always with fists and swords, but in a fashion. But, people seem to prefer asshole Santa instead. Cute being turned wrong is subversive and edgy after all. XP
DanielAvelan One, that is beside my point. They don't need to dress him up as Santa period. It's a dumb gimmick It could jsut actually be Krampus. Two, more people have Krampus cistumes than you think. Ever hear of the Krampus Run? Its basically a parade of them.
