Review of Santa's Slay (2005) by Johnny T — 03 Oct 2012
He film is meant to be a tongue-in-cheek horror and on some levels it does achieve its goal. The opening scene in particular is most inspiring, featuring the largest ensemble of has-been actors found outside of TV's The Surreal Life and Hollywood Squares. James Caan, Fran Drescher, Chris Kattan and the Noxema Girl - I mean Rebecca Gayheart - all sit down for a nice holiday dinner. Within a couple of minutes they're all dead, slayed by the hands of the bad Santa and his creative decapitation methods. But at the same time, the Santa's Slay really is quite bad in some spots. It screens like a collection of gags and creative killing methods all played out in the context of the holiday season. It's not scary and it's often so riddled with clichés that it's not funny either. Thus, Santa's Slay stands as one of the ultimate Christmas B-flicks. For my time, it's no Jack Frost or Jack Frost 2, but it does have a couple inspiring moments. Santa's Slay's appeal will likely rest in those who like good 'bad' horror and in those who are sick of Tim Allen Christmas movies.
VERDICT: "Hit The Exits" - [Panned Reaction] These are some of the worst films ever made. These films do everything wrong and do it worse than bad. Audiences should never see this film under any circumstances! (Films that are rated 0.5 or 1 stars).
