Movie Review: ‘Christmas Bloody Christmas’ (2022) Old Saint Nick Goes On A Bloody Rampage

I’m a huge fan of Christmas movies from the incredibly ridiculous over-the-top Hallmark movies to blood-covered snow ones. That being said, when I saw the official trailer for Christmas Bloody Christmas, I couldn’t wait to see it. The film was written and directed by Joe Begos (Bliss and VFW). It stars Riley Dandy (That’s Amor), Sam Delich (Spiderhead), Jonah Ray Rodrigues (“Mystery Science Theater 3000”), Dora Madison (Alone with You), Jeremy Gardner (After Midnight), with Jeff Daniel Phillips (The Munsters) and Abraham Benrubi (“ER”).

Synopsis for CHRISTMAS BLOODY CHRISTMAS

It’s Christmas Eve and fiery record store owner Tori Tooms just wants to get drunk and party until the robotic Santa Claus at a nearby toy store goes haywire and makes her night more than a little complicated. Santa Claus begins a rampant killing spree through the neon drenched snowscape against a backdrop of drugs, sex, metal and violence, ultimately forcing Tori into a blood splattered battle for survival against the ruthless heavy metal Saint Nick himself.

I can honestly say I’ve never seen a killer Santa Clause quite like this one. It was almost like Friday the 13th meets Willy’s Wonderland, in the sense that a robotic Santa is going around killing people who are partying and having sex. Personally, I found all the characters super annoying, so I couldn’t help but root for old Saint Nick. He was the best part of the film and he delivered some bloody, gruesome kills. He just kept going and going and going…

Christmas Bloody Christmas was festive and blood-splattered from beginning to end. If you love holiday horror movies and you love watching Santa go on a killing rampage, this film might just be for you. Christmas Bloody Christmas will be released in select theaters and Shudder on December 9, 2022.
