Santa's Slay or Seriously You Better Watch Out....

Take one son of Satan, make him lose a wager (a curling match to be exact), with an angel. So as punishment for losing he is forced for the next 1000 years to hand out gifts and presents to children. So here we are at Hell Township, modern day, and Santa is getting himself a little payback. Flying through town on his rocket propelled sleigh with killer "reindeer" (it's actually an ox), Santa proceeds to kill anyone and everyone in the most festive of Yuletide ways, making use of ornaments, eggnog, candy canes and all that ilk. All of this culminates in a great showdown with a twist that is really not that surprising if you're paying attention.
All in All I LOVE this film! It is one that you need to go into realising it is a Black Comedy/ Horror movie that has as much enjoyment in making fun of itself as it does giving winks to the film/TV buffs in the audience. This movie made a huge selling point by having one of the most famous Jewish wrestlers out there to play Santa, and he is perfect here. If you watch closely you will see other big named Jewish actors in the movie as well including :  James Caan, Fran Drescher, Chris Kattan, and Rebecca Gayheart. This movie has gone down as a definite one in my Holiday rotation. so next time you and the family get together for Holiday get together pop this one in, get your cookies, and enjoy!
