Letters to Satan Claus

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.

Title of review pretty much says it all. This is a witty, well written and surprisingly well acted (for a SCI-FY channel movie), spoof of those sappy Christmas movies where the cynical big city gal returns to her rural home-town and finds both her Christmas spirit and true love. But now add a bonkers over-the-top Christmas town, Satan Clause, and a half-dozen grisly Christmas-themed murders and you have a recipe for fun.

I live in a famously over-the-top Christmas town so I really identified with the Ho Ho Hoedown and all the other non-stop holiday events in the movie. And the Hallmark spoof was right on--every man the heroine meets is a ruggedly handsome widower with a daughter, and they even find a way to throw in a prince. I also got a kick out of how there was exactly one African-America family and exactly one Jewish family in town--and that people try to 'vandalize' the Jewish family's house by putting Christmas lights on it. Perhaps a little longer than it needed to be, but a fun way to kill an afternoon.

Low budget, stupid fun parody of Hallmark Christmas movies. If you take it as intended, it's actually a pretty good film.

A silly parody of the Christmas romantic comedy genre with more meet-cutes and story morals than you can count. It's not as over the top as many of the Syfy films, but it has a lot of laughs and is quite joyful. It is to Hallmark what Sharknado was to Jaws.

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.
