Letters to Satan Claus

Festive feels and blood and gore, dumb jokes, and hot guys. Im all about this mess. Is it because I'm drunk. Maybe. Would I get drunk again just to watch movie, absolutely. IT"S CHRISTMAS!!!

I can't believe I just sat thru 90 minutes of this movie. 90 minutes of my life I will never get back. Why does SyFy bother with Christmas movies like this. Toys of Terror was a Christmas horror for children. And this one, as another reviewer here pointed out, is a spoof for teenagers. Was it supposed to be funny? Clearly comedy is not syfy's strongest genre. Why can't they stick to what they do best? Now, if they produced, for example, 'A Dark Matter Christmas' or 'Christmas with the Killjoys', or maybe even 'A Z Nation Christmas', I am sure they would get it right, plus most of us fans of the network would be keen to watch! It doesn't matter how good the acting is; it doesn't matter if the lead had a 'Bad Santa' or a 'Bad Moms' performance, if the movie is bad, it is not worth watching.

Once you seen a movie in this genre you will realise they all suck in terms of quality as well as direction. I have seen worst quality movies of this low level so take my feedback as well as my scoring as acceptable for the movie in question.

Just wanted to add that I have never seen so many unattractive women iin one movie so lost more points just on that factor.

Overall if you fancy a Xmas horror movie based on what has come before as well as after then this movie might be for you.

Gather Covid couldn't stop this movie from going forward so it was meant to be in terms of general release.

5/10.

I gave it a 3/10 for the first 17 minutes, but really though, it somehow redeems itself around the 20minute mark.

Then it's so cheesy, kinda cheesy good. I even giggled a little. It's a fun silly little watch. A perfect distraction from 2020.

The premise signals not to take the movie serious so lower your expectations from the outset. The movie does deliver on some tidbits of pitch dark humor and fun gory surprises. If you are a person who laughs at inappropriate jokes then you will find a few sensible chuckles scattered about the film. I have two chief complaints: 1. It did not go far enough with the dark humor. It felt like they were tempering the laughs for fear of being too offensive. They sandwhich the dark bits between light-hearted 'human' momments. This hurts the pacing and is unnecessary. Anyone who signs on for the premise of a Santa letter to Satan wants to be taken on a full blown offensive humor ride. Spare us the feel good coddling. We don't need it. 2. Christmas movies traditionally have a happy, hopeful, ending filled with redemption, and this movie is no exception, but it feels like wimping out here. I didn't want to smile at the conclusion. I wanted a sick punchline to make me groan out a wicked laugh, so I feel cheated in that sense. Bottom line: Fun premise with a few fun momments. Worth a watch, but falls short of its dark promise.
