Review of Santa Claus (1959) by Vincent P — 08 Dec 2014
This classic so-bad-its-good Christmas movie is far more entertaining than the other well known Christmas movie in the same vein, "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians." The reason this works better is that you can tell it was made with a bit more care and imagination.
It is certainly weird, but some strange aspects are most likely due to cultural differences, as this was made for Mexican kids, and like every country I am sure that their version of Santa varies from our version.
Still there are some things that are just plain weird...like the lip machine...and Merlin. See it with some friends or check out the MST3K version, it can be a fun weird movie for the holidays.
