On Christmas Eve, in a quiet little town, a young couple fight for their lives against a robotic Santa Claus who goes on a killing spree.
The film had me before the second minute, with the narrator taking pride in the fact that “[…] Robot Santa+ fully replaces your local degenerate mall Santa, keeping you and your children safe.”
Writer/director Joe Begos is in his element. The man behind the trippy Bliss (2019) and VFW (2019): https://kaygazpro.com/vfw-2019-action-crime-horror/ strikes back with one of the most relentless Santas. Supported by Shudder, the company that has produced from unique horrors to the most mediocre ones to I-don’t-know-what-or-why-I-am-watching them collaborate on one that will cheer you up for an hour and a half.
The best part of the film is horny, foul-mouthed Tori Rooms, the great Riley Dandy. It’s like this role was written just for her. The next best part is the music, both the soundtrack and the music of the vinyl records they put on. The rest of the film, like its soundtrack, is like an 80s parody horror that, no matter what cannot be taken seriously for a minute. The worst part of the film is the couldn’t-be-more-obvious fake deaths.
Fear not, though. If you manage to get your besties, unhealthy snacks, and will to forget that we live in seriously troubled times, maybe that’s what you need. On the other hand, if you are just by yourself, well, enjoy some mindless entertainment. It’s not every night you get to see a low-budget, B-movie Christmas Terminator dressed up as Santa.
