Mercy Christmas

Michael Briskett is your typical corporate office geek. The CEO picks on him, he throws Christmas parties where nobody comes, and he's the only one in the company who receives dull work with a deadline on Christmas Eve. When he spends a wonderful evening with Cindy, the prettiest girl at the office, and she then also invites him to spend Christmas with her and her family, it seems too good to be true. And it is...

Ah, Christmas traditions! Some people drink eggnog and eat stuffed turkey, others sing Carols. The tradition of yours truly is to watch at least one holiday-themed horror movie around the Christmas period; - the bloodier the better.

"Mercy Christmas" isn't a very good movie. In fact, it's a highly unoriginal and predictable movie, and if I wasn't in such a festive mood, I probably would have flunked it big time! Buy hey, it's the season to be jolly, and thus I can even tolerate another umpteenth horror story about a cannibalistic family that looks perfectly normal from the outside, victims strung up with colorful Christmas lights, and shrieking grannies. The middle-section seemingly takes forever, with irrelevant padding footage and dull conversations, but the final 15-20 minutes luckily are gory and sadistic.

This must be the most underrated horror/comedy film ever. The summary let's us know this is likely the first ever Christmas, slasher, cannibalism comedy/horror film. The action is relentless humor and much horror related to a run-of-the-mill Xmas cannibalism flick

I often view the final 16 minutes of the film. It is riveting/memorizing, unique in film annals and unforgettable.

Do you recall Monty Python's Black Knight fighting on even after he loses one limb and then another and another. That was one of the greatest comedy blood letting scenes ever put on film. The final 16 minutes of this film pays great homage to the black knight in ways you must see for yourself. The editing of the final scenes, with gore galore, is done in such a bloody tasteful manner that no one need turn from the scene despite the absolute carnage. Amazingly delightful. This entire film should be a cult classic for some of the most unique, crazy, FUN death battles ever filmed including the role of a 'punch bowel.'

If you don't 'get' this film be sure to at least view, you guessed it, the final 16 minutes. Odds are you will never forget it!

When I started to watch this movie I did not know what to expect but it was actually quite hilarious I laughed through the movie I watched it from start to finish at fyirst I thought it was going to be some low-quality movie but the acting it wasn't like Oscar award winning but it was actually pretty good I believe every character added some spice to the script and it was good I liked it Even the parts that weren't supposed to be particularly funny were funny.

I put Mercy Christmas on my watchlist and kept skipping over it to watch a few other horror movies, but thought I'd get this one over with. It was such a surprise to be this entertained. While not laugh-out-loud funny, it kept me smiling. There were some good twists and an ending that will cap off this crazy ride wonderfully.

Like the other reviewer I too thought at the beginning that I was in for a low budget,badly acted trash movie,so I was very surprised when I got an action packed,bloody good movie.The acting was excellent all round and the effects and cinematography were top notch.I found it both funny and sad and a couple of events in it just made me intensely angry,If a movie can draw those emotions from you,then I think,for me,it's a success.Whitney Nielsen (Katherine) was so convincing in her character and so beautiful I guess I fell a little bit in love with her,another sign of a good movie.Cole Gleason (Andy),is so delightfully evil I wanted to jump in and kill him myself AND D.J. Hale (Eddie) was just hilarious.This is a must see for anyone who loves a good comedy/horror.
