So it turns out that Santa was originally a demon given birth by a virgin impregnated by Satan himself. But he got captured and forced to obey a geas after he lost a curling match against an angel. Yes, a curling match. But now the time is up and it's time for Santa to be unleashed once more.
And you know what, that could be fun. Crazy Santa walking around just slaughtering people in holiday themed ways. Blood, guts and violence galore in the best B-movie manner. And the movie certainly tries. But it just doesn't have the spirit to pull it off. It feels more tedious than fun. The gore isn't particularly memorable, the Santa is pretty forgettable (which should be an impossibility), the supporting cast is even duller and there just isn't enough blood and excitement.
The hard fact is that I fell asleep while watching this film. I had to rewatch the ending the next day. And if you have a film where a demonic Santa slaughters people while screaming Ho-ho-ho! at the top of his lungs, and you still manage to fall asleep, there's something wrong with the film.
I shall forget this film.
