It's Christmaaaaaaaaaaass!
Yep, Shocktober and Halloween have sadly come and gone, but worry not, there's plenty of Christmas horror to fill our stockings ,so lets go back to one I have to admit, I'd never seen, some horror cheese (and crackers?) from almost 30 years ago!!
This really is a comedy/horror with it's tongue firmly in its frozen cheek, I say frozen, the movie was obviously filmed out of season and the fake snow is hysterical, in one scene a sheriffs boot lifts up a small carpet of the white stuff! It's the late 90's so kids have bowl head haircuts, Parents are angry and teen wear check shirts. The budget is low, the killer snowman, literally no expense spared, but its delightful fun. The (few) kill scenes are a giggle, a woman gets strangled and hung up in a Christmas tree, "you don't think we should leave her up for the 12 days?" asks one of the dimwitted Cops. The funniest scene though is when the movie teen hottie spends 10 minutes or so drying her hair, only to get fully submerged in a hot bath, get murdered in a very compromising position, in which our killer proclaims "looks like Christmas came early, how was it for you?"
It's a low budget Christmas cracker.
4/5
