Secret Santa (2015) Reviews
Christmas Cut Backs
A throwback to the 80's slashers complete with dirty, gritty prints to give it that grindhouse feel but set in today's time. A sadistic Santa is sending people gifts that will eventually kill them. If you get a cleaver that will be your fate. He stays true to his word. We see this with a girl who had just opened her gift and receives a hair dryer. Moments later she is in the tub so when the killer goes to throw the hair dryer in the water the plug doesn't reach. He just proceeds to beat her to death with the thing. It stays true to the fell of the low budget slasher but it does take over 50 minutes to get going. Not too gory but you get the 80's effects with the dismemberments etc. They even throw in a few twists along the way.
Indie Yuletide horrors
SECRET SANTA is another in the overcrowded market of indie horrors with a Yuletide setting. This one suffers from typically underwhelming writing and bad acting but the rest isn't too bad as genre standards go. It's one of those wannabe grindhouse productions with fake print damage, but the 1980s era-looking film stock makes it look pretty good. I also appreciate that the music is nice and creepy and provides a neat backdrop for the otherwise overly familiar action.
A Great Cheesy Low Budget Horror Flick That Brings out the Grindhouse Nostalgia!!!
I'm always looking to buy new Christmas horror flicks. I saw the trailer to this on Youtube and was very intrigued. I watched it today, and was pretty pleased with it. I loved the gore and death scenes and the scratchy film look this movie has the whole time like Grindhouse: Planet Terror. It'll really put you in mind of the so bad it's good 1980's horror slasher movies. It starts off slow, then gets better during the middle of the movie. Some college friends get together for a Christmas party. They each receive a hatchet, an electric knife, a chainsaw, and other weapons. Slowly, the masked killer uses these weapons to kill the person that opened it. The killer has the most hilarious and random reasoning for killing people I've ever seen. Hopefully, this'll become a cult classic to watch around Christmas. I highly recommend SECRET SANTA!!!
YMMV depending on how much you enjoy low budget digital horror.
Yes, there are two movies called Secret Santa. This one is from 2016, the other is from 2017. This kind of leads to confusion when you're trying to get more info on a movie, but that's the kind of investigative journalism that I guess you've come to expect from this site. Also, I wrote this review at 6 AM on a Monday when I should really be sleeping, but that's definitely the kind of thing you expect from this site. A group of college kids are in the midst of finals whole a slasher is taking them out one by one. They also decide to have a holiday party complete with a Secret Santa gift exchange, just so the title makes sense. It takes nearly an hour to get to the actual point of this film: the secret Santa gifts point to how the killer will off each person. The filmmakers shot this on video, but added in film grains and pops to give it a 1970's patina. Obviously, it owes a lot to the original Black Christmas. There's some interesting gore - the film starts with a power drill kill and a torn out eyeball, so there's that. There's also a pretty grizzly knife to the head effect and a black gloved killer, so obviously, that was all it took to get me to make it through this film. I guess if you watch one holiday themed horror film this year where the killer is fought off with a giant black rubber phallus, you should choose this one.
