Christmas Bloody Christmas

If you are expecting what the trailer shows - a cheezy, blood, guts and gore movie about a military Santa running around killing people. Then, you'll like the movie. It's not pretending to be anything other than what it is.

I thought it was fun and campy, and of course a bit cliche, but that's what I was looking for.

It's the best Xmas movie I've seen in years!

If you're looking for some deeply intellectual entertainment - this is not for you.

RECOMMENDATION: grab a few beers, put the kiddies to bed, and enjoy some senseless Terminator style violence = just with more blood, and a worse story line!

The premise sounded worth a watch on a Saturday night. It was never going to be vintage Spielberg but nor should it have been this bad. It should have been fun and at the very least it should have been passable entertainment.

Stopped watching after half an hour as it quickly became unwatchable. It made no sense whatsoever, the acting is embarrassingly bad, the script is puerile and unimaginative. Someone should be banned from movie making for this.

All of that is a broadly polite way of saying that the positive reviews on here are fake. No one is watching this and thinking it's good or in any way redeemable. They're simply posting to convince you it's worth parting with your cash for. Don't fall for it.

Christmas Bloody Christmas (2022) is a movie that I recently watched on Shudder. The storyline follows a department store robotic Santa Clause that gets recalled shortly after they arrive in stores. One store decides to keep theirs through the holiday and quickly discover why they were recalled...

This movie is written and directed by Joe Begos (Bliss) and stars Riley Dandy (That's Amore), Sam Delich (Spiderhead), Jonah Ray (Victor Crowley), Jeff Daniel Phillips (3 from Hell) and Dora Madison (Bliss).

This reminded me of a cross between Silent Night Deadly Night and The Terminator. The ax scenes and kills in this are absolutely tremendous. There's some great gore, blood splatter and special effects throughout the movie. The soundtrack is also excellent. The acting and dialogue is solid, even if there are some forehand slapping opinions. The cinematography and use of lighting and colors is also very good. I did feel like they dragged out the ending a bit.

Overall, this is a unique addition to the holiday horror genre that's an absolute must see. I would score this a 6.5-7/10 and recommend seeing it once.

A first time rewatch since this movie originally came out The dialogue is mind numbingly boring We as a audience spend approximately the first 30 minutes listening to a very boring couple getting to know each other and the language made me blush (I don't blush easily) I heard a lot of people comparing the writing to a Rob Zombie movie I don't necessarily agree with that and yes I know some people who can't talk without cussing I personally have been accused of being able to out cuss a sailor back in my day But this just feels forced and unnecessary Background noise to me I just wish if they were going to spend so much time with our two lead characters That they would have spent more time on character building But once the action starts it's a pretty cool movie "Terminator Santa" rocks in my opinion.

In "Christmas Bloody Christmas," the military-industrial complex has created a killer robot Santa. The movie begins with a series of fake TV ads for Christmas-themed promotions and events, and it's clear that something is going to go wrong with the RoboSanta+. The story follows disenchanted record store owner Tori Tooms as she fights against the evil robot Santa.

Unfortunately, the movie fails to improve once the deadly elf shows up. The action and kill scenes are muddy-looking and the 16mm cameras used for most of the filming are not effective. The best parts of the movie are the early scenes between Tori and her employee, Robbie, where they have a believable and tedious edge to their conversations.

Overall, the movie struggles to make the characters' seasonal disenchantment seem more real than the high-concept circumstances. The swear words, pop references, and counter-cultural poses that define Tori and Robbie's relationship are perfunctory and do not add to the story. While the writer and director clearly has affection for the characters, it is not enough to save the movie.
