DON'T OPEN TIL CHRISTMAS
1984 86 Mins. Edward Purdom and Alan Lake star. Written by Derek Ford Directed by Edmund Purdom Rated R for strong language, violence, gore, nudity and sexuality.
Well I was hoping to stumble onto some classic Xmas gem but as always I end up regretting my decision. This year is no different with 1984s seasonal British slasher. It's something about a killer whose stalking the streets in search of people dressed in Santa Claus outfits. He stabs and pokes them amongst many other gory delights.
The movie works in very small moments. Some of which are mildly suspenseful but it's just so odd. The movie is all over the place and not very engaging. And the people they build up to be the main characters end up being dispatched in gory fashion. So in that sense you never really feel anything for the victims. It's a sleazy pic and feels a little grindhouse and a little giallo but isn't successful on any front. So if I were you I'd make sure to avoid this bag of cinematic coal.
RATING= 4.5 Killer SANTAS out of 10
