Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Better than it has any right to be, its methodical mayhem of a serial-killing Santa Claus delivers a new perspective on more slasher-oriented seasonal offerings. Rated: 4/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Cheryl Eddy io9.com The characters in Don’t Open Till Christmas are woefully underdeveloped, but there’s just enough weird flair scattered around to make them interesting.

Fleegle B I wish this movie had a UK DVD release so I could watch it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review Steve D Unpleasant yes, but laughable when it tries to scare. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Audience Member i mean, watching it for the first time now, it's not a good movie, haha. i can see where it maybe has a cult following though. & genuinely surprised by the number of boobs there were. i saw this via Joe Bob Briggs Drive-In episode which maybe made it more interesting than it would've been otherwise, but even then I'm not sure i would recommend it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review tom k Terribly confusing and uninteresting if not for watching it along with the #MutantFam on Joe Bob's "Ghoultide Get-Together". Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member awesome british cult classic Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie holds surprisingly high amounts of nudity and cheap gore. It doesn't try to be serious, and it especially doesn't seek out to enhance the Christmas mood. Instead it seems more determined to give young males presents by having naked young woman flash their assets, while pleasing B-movie hounds with it's odd gore, strange story, and basically random violence, all the while trying to make a tad bit of sense. The effects aren't top notch but they're watchable. With all the deaths going down, it's apparent that if you're planning a career as Santa Claus, this film could make you think twice.
