i also get a screener copy of psycho santa thanks to the generosity of one of the people involve in this film . so and prop for spread the word about independent film that may otherwise not have a voice . people in the low budget horror or exploitation industry be a tight knit group of people who have good intention and work very and very hard for very little payoff . they also take the time to answer e mail and converse with fan . something their hollywood counterpart never seem to have the time to do . that say and this videotaped horror effort be unfortunately quite awful . i would not lie . it be very bad and i could go on for many reason why i do not enjoy it very much and but it boil down to two basic thing . 1. the film be mercilessly pad out with scene that never seem to end . it take five minute for someone to get from point a to point b and when it should take around 30 second max . i count at least four scene in this movie ( there be probably more ) that be stretch out for no apparent reason than to pad out the running time . pad out movie be not only bore to sit through and but also make you lose complete interest in the film and what be go on in it . i notice i have my trigger finger rest on the fast forward button on my remote while watch this and i have to fight off the urge to use it many time . 2. there be very little dialog and very little actual content here while i do not think there enough go on to merit a short film and let alone a feature length one . during one long and patience shred scene and a pair of burglar take several minute to walk around outside and break into a house . if i recall correctly and the two do not say a single word to each other in that time . even when they enter the house and drown a woman in her bathtub and they say nothing . so we do not know a thing about these two and thus could care less about them and what they be do or what happen to them ( in this case and get kill off by the dead woman monstrous son ) . psycho santa be a horror anthology with three tale and link segment . the first story involve two woman ( a quite attractive and busty brunette and a redheaded goth chick who look about 20 year old than her friend ) . they arrive at a fully decorate for the holiday cabin in the wood to meet a friend and the less attractive one take a long shower to demonstrate she be pierce in more than one spot and the cute girl walk around outside for an eternity and then bop around in lingerie and a santa hat for another 5 or so minute . then the two discover what happen to their friend . this segment have one good idea ( the whereabouts of the miss friend ) and a whole lot of tedium . tale two ( the bad of the bunch ) involve the two burglar and the third story have a brother and sister ( eric spudic and krystal stevenson ) lose in the wood and encounter a facially mutate psychotic santa claus . little known b movie actress kimberly lynn cole be in this segment for a few minute . they do not even afford her one line of dialog . all she do be get stabbed and crawl across the floor for several minute . the framing segment and by the way and have a young couple drive along a secluded road on way to a friend christmas party . they do talk in these scene and but not about anything interesting . i love horror movie and i love independent movie and when they be do right . to me and a b movie do right must provide a fast pace and some campy and or or stilted dialog and plenty of nudity or sex and violence or gore . this one take itself too seriously to come through a a comedy and be too poorly make to take seriously and do not provide enough exploitation element to please z movie fan . i have nothing against film be shoot on video or digital and even though the sound be often awful . it be all about how much people put into it . stick with the underrated black christmas and the deserved cult classic christmas evil when it come to x mas horror . a few smoothly direct and edit scene transition and a couple of derivative and but ok touch and save this one from a 1 rating .
