Christmas with Cookie

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.

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.

If you are looking for a fun time, a good laugh, and about an hour well spent, then look no further than "Christmas With Cookie." This film is so incredibly low budget and it embraces this fact to the fullest extent. I found myself laughing so hard that I had to take breaks just to catch my breath. The performances are entertainingly over the top. Cookie is delightfully vile. The film is intentionally "bad", but it's made with such precision that you can tell it took real talent to craft. Sometimes films that are "intentionally bad" are just bad. This one is so bad that it's great. These guys knew what they were doing. I had a blast from start to finish. Overall, very impressive and well made. I look forward to director/writer/actor Alan Maxson's future projects.

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.

HEY EVERYONE ITS ME (4) !!! And today we review ...

well ...

something lol....

and let me start off by saying THIS, if you like campy cheesy on purpose films that know they are bad and embrace it ...then YUP this ones for you

SO this movie revolves around a evil elf on the moon reading you a story from a book .... he loves cookies and happens to be named cookie ....played by the director WHO i have to add plays alot of monsters regularly including mocapping king ghidorah in the american godzilla king of the monsters ....personally (and not sucking up here) ghidorah has always been my favorite godzilla character .... so to know such a top tier hollywood player making his own cheesy indie films is REALLY cool ...

it helps indie film makers like me have a bit of hope lol....

this films evil elf book reading scenes are really well lit, and shot ..... the rest of the film ....eh ... kind of rough lol.. terrible "cgi" and green screening .... REALLY bad acting but again this film KNOWS what its doing and just letting loose .... i mean the skeletons are ... not even trying to act .... lol...

i REALLY hope to see alot more of these films i do like the second film better however in how they had "cookie" doing voice over during the film and a little less cut scenes to him ...it helped the film move along a bit .... but this one is a great introduction to him and the franchise ...

an easy 7/10 .......
