What to Know

Critics Consensus

Perhaps it isn't quite as much fun as a movie about a murderous robot Santa ought to be, but for fans of holiday horror, Christmas Bloody Christmas is still a gift.

Anton Bitel Little White Lies a young independent woman’s nightmare (of patriarchy) before Christmas. Dec 13, 2022 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com This is a gruesome slice of holiday cruelty that knows exactly what it is and doesn’t try to be anything else, and that’s exactly as it should be. Rated: 3/4 Dec 12, 2022 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times The overall vibe here ends up being less “good dirty fun” than “foul-mouthed teenager trying to look cool.” Dec 9, 2022 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez Loud and Clear Reviews While Christmas Bloody Christmas doesn’t come close to reinventing the Holiday horror film subgenre, it does deliver delightful exploitation cinema-like kills and stylistic tendencies. Rated: 3/5 Jan 4, 2024 Full Review Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies I appreciate the attention to horror movie detail and the Terminator-like stamina of the villain. It’s got some warts, but it’s a bonkers Christmas horror movie... in a good way. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 11, 2023 Full Review Daniel Kurland Bloody Disgusting Christmas Bloody Christmas is an unabashed holiday treat that knows exactly what it is and what its audience is hoping to get from a “killer robot Santa” horror film. Rated: 4.5/5 Jan 10, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Chris M It was pretty lame but I wasn’t there to see a movie with a plot. I’m a local from Placerville. I was curious about the local footage. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/21/22 Full Review SHERRY I didn't care for it. It had too much cussing, way too much talking before the action or killing started. I wanted to get my money back after the first 5 minutes. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/18/22 Full Review Cole Thompson A fun Christmas slasher movie that doesn't try to be anything else. I loved every minute! Saw it in theaters and immediately subscribed to Shudder and watching it again!!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/10/22 Full Review Jorge A Deaths were ok, gore was fun, concept was kinda cool but the story is awful. Acting is beyond bad. The lead is obnoxious and the improvised dialogue is tiring. Everybody screams all the time and I wish the director had the courage to say CUT! when his actors were overacting. One of the cops acting is hilariously bad and I bet he thought he was doing a great job. Inexperienced actors always think that the more they yell and exaggerate things the better they are. I don't know how the director got the money and approval to do this thing. Did nobody watch it before they release it? I love gore, I love horror comedy and satire, but this movie has a terrible execution. I don't get the critics high score. We definitely didn't watch the same movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review TROY S This is a movie that I was intrigued when I heard about it. It is the newest film from Joe Begos who I'm a fan of. It is a Christmas movie. He also pulled in two actors that I'm a big fan, Graham Skipper and Jeremy Gardner, in cameo roles. I did read the synopsis ahead of watching this, but that was about the extent of what I knew. I'm always down for a Christmas horror movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Elvis D Christmas Bloody Christmas es una propuesta bastante descabellada y bizarra que intenta ofrecer algo bastante tradicional del slasher y el cine de serie B. Una historia básica y simplona sin mucho que argumentar con un Santa Claus robótico fuera de control yendo tras una mujer que solo piensa en "portarse mal". Es una idea bastante infantil lo que ofrece, pero no se puede negar que cuenta con buenas escenas de muerte y buenos efectos especiales. Aquí quisieron hacer una especie de mezcla entre Silent Night, Deadly Night y Terminator. El resultado es algo extraño, pero fascinante de ver debido a la violencia de buen calibre. Los personajes obviamente solo están ahí para verlos siendo víctimas del Santa robótico, ya que no son nada empatizables o memorables. Se trata de una película que ofrece entretenimiento sin explicar nada. No se toma la molestia de explicar como el Santa robótico cobra vida así de la nada o por qué comienza a cometer asesinatos. Eso hace que la película no tenga mucho sentido. La secuencia de la perspectiva de Santa cometiendo sus primeros asesinatos es difícil de seguir. Un problema bastante mayoritario con la película es que es demasiada colorida y brillante, haciendo que varias escenas sean difíciles de apreciar o ver con claridad. Al final, Christmas Bloody Christmas no es una película que aporte mucho, pero es una opción entretenida para pasar las fiestas. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 6/10.
