Christmas with 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.

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 going into this movie expecting normal movie quality you will be disappointed. If you only like good quality movies you will be disappointed. This is a bad movie in the best possible way. Its an borderline incomprehensible fever dream with bad graphics, poor acting, and a script that im not surprised to find out wasn't even finished by the the time they started recording. Its completely and utterly charming in the way cheap/bad movies are when you can tell the people on set where having fun. Its weird and fun and not the type of movie to take too seriously. Highly recommended for people who like this type of movie. Lowly recommended for people that don't like this type of movie. Also highly recommended for those who enjoy movies with the help of plants and liquid.

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.

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.
