Santa Baby

"Santa Baby" may not be a great short film, but it sure is memorable. After I saw it, I couldn't stop thinking about it. It takes place during the Christmas season. A killer in a Santa suit breaks into a home of a woman and a mysterious person living in what I think is the basement. The killer looks in the dark basement with a lantern he finds in the house. I don't know why he doesn't just turn the basement's lights on... or does the basement not have lights? I won't spoil what happens, but this film has a very weird and unpredictable ending.

The acting is good. The guy who plays the killer in the Santa suit is pretty convincing and frightening. The violence in the film looks OK. However, at one point, the filmmakers seemed to use cranberry sauce or something for blood and body parts, which looks rather fake. There's a suit that looks like it was made out of humans and it's very good. It reminds me of "The Silence of the Lambs". Anyway, the writing, editing, and cinematography are decent. The ending is great and it definitely helps make this film memorable. If you're looking for a short Christmas horror film, "Santa Baby" is good enough for me to recommend it.

Santa Baby is a rather well made little Christmas horror short.

The story revolves around a blood-soaked, hammer wielding, Santa Claus, who is out on the hunt for the naughtiest of this year's naughty.

On which he holds nothing back (other than his hammer)goes no holds barred...as he extracts his own bludgeoney brand of justice on those deemed naughty...whether they be grannies, or the mentally ill.

For an approximately 10 minute short film...it sure does contain a number of unexpected twists and turns.

And they sure don't hold back on the gore, either.

It's a low budget short, but one that's really well written.

With Zarin doing a competent job on the directorial front.

On top of this, they did an excellent job on casting...as each actor fits their role to perfection.

Little gems like this show you what can be done with a good team and a little imagination.

So it's certainly worth a watch, if you're looking for a short Christmas horror film to fill the void.

Makes me look forward to see what Zarin can do with an oppourtunity to work with a bit of a bigger budget in the future too.

Simple, yet effective.

A job well done, all around.

5.5 out 10.
