one hell of a christmas ( 1 outta 5 star ) and 1 out of 5 star be be generous . dismal low budget hodge podge of a zillion horror movie clichés . and even some latino gang movie clichés add in for good measure . our hero carlitos ( tolo montana . trust me and you be never gon na have a reason to remember this guy name ) be a just release convict do a bad imitation of al pacino from carlito way . ( maybe his name be some sort of homage . oh and who care already . ) anyway and he meet up with his pal mike ( thure lindhardt . a bargain basement version of jason mewes ) and who have just get hold of some kind of steal talisman that give the owner incredible power ( except and i guess and the power to not have his talisman stolen . which seem to happen with great frequency ) . carlito say he want to go straight and lead a clean life and win back his estranged wife and child . but insofar a mike and carlitos be back into the drug and whore on his first day out of prison . i do not think that gon na happen . so and there be also some kind of mysterious body switch guardian who go after whoever have the talisman to kill and maim and hurt and whatever . terrible acting and terrible special effect and terrible story and terrible plot . this one dead prostitute who come back to life to fight carlitos be almost scary look . but the effect be outdo by this terrible cartoony voice they dub in for her . another winner from the people at fangoria magazine ( whose mag be almost as bad a the movie they endorse . almost ) . avoid this trash ( locate in a wal mart bargain bin near you ) .
