Christmas with Cookie

Christmas with Cookie (2016) is a horror anthology of short stories currently available on Tubi. The stories include Santa and Mrs. Claus being attacked by zombies, an alien invasion of sorts and an epic final showdown of the Abominable Snowman vs Santa.

This movie is written, stars and is codirected by Alan Maxson and is also directed by Shawn Schminke. This movie also stars Justin Armao (Blood Sucka Jones), Breeanna Judy (The Eagle and the Albatross), Allie Rivera Quiñonez (Drake and Josh) and Noel Jason Scott (Blade the Iron Cross).

Believe it or not I liked Cookie, his makeup/mask and his narration all worked for me. The special effects, CGI and puppets are all ridiculous. Honestly any of us could have made this movie. The good thing is this movie doesn't take itself too seriously. The dialogue is funny and the aliens are definitely entertaining, especially the final few scenes.

Overall, this movie is absolutely terrible...but it's only an hour so it's not a bad watch for horror enthusiasts who love bad movies (like me). I'd score this a 3/10 and only recommend watching this with the appropriate expectations.

Christmas with cookie is in artistic masterpiece. I've never seen such a ministry of filmmaking.

The cinematography the jokes the thing that looks like it took two seconds in blender the 400 something cookies on the table and the captivating performance of the abominable snowman keeper made this whole movie an absolute 10 out of 10 which I would rate higher if Given option.

With the help of this movie I have ascended to the heavens. This masterpiece has given me a new religion, all hail cookie.

Abominable snowman keeper needs an Oscar this man is the most captivating talented actor I have ever seen.

Rip that he died in an explosion #justiceforcookie.

It is like watching a low budget porn with no nudity.

The backdrops were tablecloths from Party City. The effects looked like they were done with a phone app on a Droid Razr.

Cookie's latex is not even attached in the back!

The props are laughable.

I get going for cheesiness, but it is not funny, just bad!

The movie is immature at a childish level, but mentions of incestuous anal sex and repeated use of vulgarities make this more of a movie for low functioning adults.

My standards are not high, I laugh at fart jokes, but this was beyond stupid.

The biggest part of the budget the pile of cookies in front of Cookie.

On the 'So Bad It's terrific Scale', yep, it's a 10! Honestly, it's difficult to watch at first, but once you warm up to this corny, funny film, you really begin to appreciate it for exactly what it is. This crew set out to create a film which by comparison, makes Plan 9 From Outer Space look like Gone With The Wind. That was their goal and to their credit, that's exactly what they did. Cookie sounds rather Yoda-like, but Hell, who cares! It's funny on multiple levels. Cinema needs young filmmakers who aren't afraid to have fun, push the limits of acceptability and work with their friends on low budget productions like this, where fun and camp wins out over high-end production value. We received our copy while standing in line at Monsterpalooza in Pasadena and I honestly couldn't think of a better, more appropriate way and means to be introduced to this production. Keep up the good (or bad) work, you guys nailed it.

Low budget is a compliment for this movie. This flick is so cheap I bet the budget wouldn't have even bought a hot dog at 7-11!

And that is what makes this flick worth watching! It's low budget and it's silliness from start to finish. The cast seems to have enjoyed themselves. No one tried to be an actor! They took their roles for exactly what they are 'silly'. In other words it's the flicks consistency that makes it good.

The plot line involves the future year 3978, Cookie is on the moon reading this story to us, the north pole is a desert, aliens are flying around in pyramids, and along comes the Abominable Snowman. Actually I can't relate a plot line because the plot is mostly incomprehensible - but in good way!

If you are a fan of 'low end flicks', as I am, then 'Christmas with Cookie' is a must see.
