Review of Santa's Slay (2005) by Davis V — 10 Dec 2010

'25 DAYS OF HELLIDAY HORROR'.

#9: Santa's Slay (2004).

Long ago, an angel from heaven challenged Santa, the son of Satan (Bill Goldberg) to a game. Santa lost the game, in turn condemning him to a thousand years of service on Earth to spread joy and presents to man kind as the legendary icon we know as Santa Clause. Now, the thousand years is over and Santa Clause is coming to town...the town of Hell (seriously, the town is called Hell). He isn't exactly bringing presents this year either, he's brining pain to everybody in his rocket propelled Sled with his Hell-Deer which actually looks more like a big, stupid white buffalo! It eats humans too! sweeeeeet.

Overall: The plot was just stupid as all hell, but the comedy was great. Goldberg's tough, burly Santa is a force to be reckoned with. In the first five minutes of the movie, Santa plows down the chimney and absolutely ruins a christmas feast, killing James Caan, Fran Drescher and the Noxema girl with little effort. He also boots a little dog into the ceiling fan! Epic!! Most of the comical kills were great. There is actually a death that involves a jewish store clerk getting impaled by a freakin' menorah! Epic cheese. The movie even gives homage to older X-mas slashers like 'Black Christmas' and 'Christmas Evil' as Santa kills with a candy cane, an icicle, and a christmas tree star! For the most part it is more comedy and comic based as opposed to creepy or dark. The one liners are just awful, but will more than likely envoke atleast one or two chuckles. It's a cheesy, bloody laugh riot for the Holidays. Oh yea, keep an eye out for a cameo by Tommy "Deebo" Lister also, lol.
