as far a slasher flick that cast santa claus a a mad killer be concern and this be a passable yet forgettable offering from actor david hess ( in his one and only directorial effort ) . one of the main problem and which detract a lot from the tone and atmosphere and be the lack of snow it would have complement the killer exploit perfectly and yet there none to be find . also irritate be the insufficient lighting during nighttime sequence and in which the action be sometimes impossible to make out . however and to all a good night be a cut above most derivative slasher and even though it start out with the mandatory sex obsess sorority girl ( plus one cute wallflower ) and assembly line violence and it get progressively well a it go along create an adequate atmosphere of dread and give it survive character a bit of personality and humanity .
