A Christmas Slay (2015) is a British holiday horror 🇬🇧 film currently available for free on Tubi. The storyline begins with a man in a Santa costume going insane, leading to his admission to a psychiatric ward. After escaping, he crosses paths with a group of unsuspecting campers.

This film is directed by Steve Davis, marking his only major motion picture to date. The cast includes Dani Thompson (My Bloody Banjo), Laura Ellen Wilson (Monster), Frank Jakeman (Hosts), and Martin W. Payne (Pandemonium).

The movie feels amateurish at times, resembling something you and your friends might have made in high school. Despite its shortcomings, I didn't mind watching it through to see how the story unfolded. The kill scenes range from average to slightly above average, but nothing stands out as exceptional.

Overall, A Christmas Slay isn't anything special, but if you're in the mood for a random holiday horror flick, it might be worth a try. I'd score it a 3.5-4/10.

Plot a group of girlfriend's travel to a cabin on the Christmas holiday but unaware of a Santa Claus killer.

Yet this is another introduction into the killer Santa movies but this is by far the worse of them all. The storyline for starters really sucked it literally felt like that there was script written for this movie, like at all it really random people traveling out into the woods and being slaughtered. The camera work really sucked as well, it literally looked like it was filmed for someone's YouTube or something. I'm not really going to waste anymore time by explaining the acting or the death scenes because that all really sucked too. The movie is just a complete waste of time nobody so should really waste their time with it because god knows i wish i could turn back the clock.

Frank Jakeman does a tremendous job portraying the bloodthirsty and vicious killer Santa in this low budget yet entertaining Santa-slasher. There is definitely some silly writing and marginal acting throughout this film, but if you enjoy watching killer Santas and don't mind a little economical movie making, then you should like this offering. I personally don't need a film to be a perfect Hollywood blockbuster to appreciate it. I like seeing underexposed actors and I value the imperfections, as well as the efforts, of certain movies, and this is one of them. It is worth watching for Frank Jakeman's wild, unhinged performance alone, but we are also treated with a highly enjoyable scene with actress Natalie Bailey-Trist as well. Frenzied stabbing, blood spurting, and unrestrained axe swinging all abound in this picture that, for me, is now part of my annual Christmas horror viewing during the holidays.

Following her boyfriends' attempted infidelity, a woman joining her friends at a holiday getaway at a remote mountain lodge find themselves being stalked by an escaped deranged serial killer dressed as Santa Claus and forces them to band together to escape from the killer.

Frankly, this one wasn't all that great of a Santa-slasher. One of the main problems with this one stems from the film's exceptionally low-budget look and feel which runs rampant throughout here and doesn't give this a chance at times. The cheap, cramped locations and just home-made look really give this one the overwhelming sense of a low-budget affair which is much grander than the type of story is supposed to tell which just makes the whole thing look worse than it really should. The technical aspects here, from the camera work to the editing and the sets, really screams low-budget quality and is done to the point of being detrimental more than it really is. That facet carries over into the special effects for the kills, which is a shame as there's quite a large body-count and simply throwing red-colored liquid along the walls and only showing the aftereffect of what he did with the body rather than seeing it play out on-screen. Cutting to black whenever it's supposedly going for a kill only to come back seeing what he actually did really screams a cheap, low-budget affair and hinders this one considerably. Likewise, the film also manages to feature that same utterly dreadful pacing that plagues so many British horror films of the recent millennium as this one drags on forever without any kind of enthusiasm in what's happening featuring characters so laid-back that they rarely seem interested in anything going on around them which tends to drop the energy level to a barely- breathing crawl here which ends up hurting the film overall as much as these other issues. The last flaw here is the decidedly weak and completely pathetic killer which doesn't really strike any ounce of fear looking simply like a homeless man wearing a cheap Santa jacket, offers up no real reasoning for the obsession with Santa or the holiday and comes off like a total joke in how easily he's dealt with in the end that this one really suffers for such a lousy job with the main villain. While these here hold it back, there's a few solid moments present when it counts. Even though it's most hurt by the effects used to create them, the fact that this has a decent- sized body count offed in a wide variety of manners is a nice point for it as this one does manage some rather intriguing ideas here with such a lot of deaths to feature. That manages to include the fact that there are a couple of highly- enjoyable stalking scenes here to generate that amount of kills, from the opening home invasion which results in the murder of the family before his eventual arrest, the escape from the sanitarium that includes some decent antics against the staff to get out and the scenes of him lurking in the surrounding woods makes for some decent enough stalking scenes. Things pick up nicely in the finale when he targets them in the lodge which has some better-than-expected confrontations and has solid enough action to keep it interesting in the big showdown using the atmospheric mountain lodge setting to fine effect throughout here in letting the action develop nicely. These issues here really help this one, although the flaws here really outweigh these.
