View all Christmas Evil reviews

The winter weather isn't the only thing that's frightful about this unconventional holiday offering about a toy maker whose obsession with Christmas spirals dangerously out of control. After enduring a traumatic childhood in which he learned there was no such thing as Santa Claus, Harry Stadling takes it upon himself to judge the "naughty" and the "nice." But instead of spreading cheer, he opts for fear.

Christmastime Viewings: 2019 (8 movies items)

"First Viewing Plot: A toy factory worker, mentally scarred as a child upon learning Santa Claus is not real, suffers a nervous breakdown after being belittled at work, and embarks on a Yuletide killing spree. It's a Christmas slasher movie produced on a tiny budget, what else do you want to know? Christmas Evil has become something of a cult item in the years since its release - even John Waters is an avid fan. Thankfully, it's more entertaining and not as mean-spirited as something like Silen"

"LAST WATCHED: 7/13/2017Being used to watching movies in today's world, I found a lot of the special effects in this movie quite cheesy. I did find the storyline to be intriguing, though."
