Review of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964) by Jordan K — 06 Mar 2012

One of the worst films ever made. No changing it.

Pretty simple plotline: Children on Mars are bored and unhappy, so some Martians go and kidnap Santa and some kids. One specific Martian, Voldar, is planning to kill Santa and the kids against his commander's will.

I first saw this on a list of the worst films ever made, and wanted to see for myself how bad this really was. It's bad, boring, and for sure a low-budget making. It wouldn't even appeal to its targeted audience, the kids. They would be horribly bored and wouldn't get it.

Now for my hatred of the characters. First, Dropo. He is one of the most annoying and idiotic characters I've ever seen, a complete moron. Billy and his sister, Betty, are morons at acting. And Voldar- Voldar has an epic mustache.

And did you know that the guns used in the film are plastic guns painted silvers and edited noise? Not amused.
