      Nomad Dread Central Much of Deadly Little Christmas is nothing more than a half-assed rehash of Halloween. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 16, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Felissa Rose stars and is even worse here then in Sleepaway Camp 30 years ago. Very bad movie! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This doesn't even stop at smelling like low budget. The writing is off the charts horrible, some actors are actually trying to make something out of it (and fail), and to top it off, the camerawork, the killings, and possibly the direction is totally off. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member 25 DAYS OF HELLIDAY HORROR #21: A Deadly Little Christmas (2009) Here we have movie #21, 'A Deadly Little Christmas'. More than likely a twist of the famous christmas song "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" which is nowhere to be heard in the movie. Basically its a rip off of Halloween except it is aimed toward Christmas. It starts with a group of little kids being visited by Santa Claus who is actually their dad. He brings them presents, but when Devon hates his present, he becomes furious. After supposedly killing his father/ Santa with a knife, Devon is sent to a state mental hospital just like Michael Myers where he sits in solitude. He hasn't spoken a word for 15 years, but when the opportunity presents itself to break free from the hospital, Devon wastes no time. After escaping, he heads back home for the holidays to bring some christmas cheer....and BLOOD! Overall: This movie had potential, but that potential seemed to fly right out the window once it started stealing numerous elements from 'Halloween'. Yes, the movie does its best attempt at making a Christmas themed version of 'Halloween' with a few original twists. The movie was very low budget, had very poor actors and actresses who put zero effort into their roles. It was rather pitiful. Although it features Felissa Rose (Angela from Sleepaway Camp) the movie does not become any more original or cool since she is in it. As a matter of fact, she displays possibly some of the worst acting in the whole movie, with the exceptions of her daughters. Need i mention the sad kills. They were all done with a plastic, retractable knife and very, very fake looking blood. There is a good body count, but the kills creating those body counts were atrocious. The killer never even changes weapons, he just uses the same fake Halloween-store knife! The X-mas mask used by the killer was okay looking, but it just sort of looked like a red and black mess of paint smeared onto a hannibal lecter mask! Overall, 'A Deadly Little Christmas' was a decent watch during the holidays, but nothing more. It basically failed because of originality. There have been many low-budget gems that have made more of an impact this season. If you are looking for low-budget cheese, stick with 'Psycho Santa', 'Satan Claus' or better yet 'Night Train Murders'. This one is just sort of crappy. It does have a surprise plot twist at the end, but by then who really cares? Most sane people are just hoping for the shit fest to just end by that point. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I can honestly say this is the worse movie I've ever seen. Someone somewhere must have got a cheap camcorder for Christmas and they just run a muck with family and friends. Everyone in this deadly boring film most have gone to the Pee-wee Herman school of speech and drama because the Tomato Ketchup bottle were most of the blood came from had more acting ability. This movie is so bad it wouldn't even be shown on a late night unknown satalite channel. 0/5 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Halloween rip-off. Bad.
