Some bad movies just bore you, while others create a perverse fascination, an aura that keeps you watching in the hope they will never get better. "The Twelve Disasters of Christmas" does not.

Rated: 1/5

12 Disasters Of Christmas, SyFy's contribution to the holiday season, lands on the programming calendar like a foul-smelling, coal-like substance left on the carpet by a drunken Santa who needs a swat on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper.

Viewers who have had their fills of prototypical Christmas movie cheer might want to get into the proper Syfy spirit by priming themselves with their favorite spirits.

Lots of action. Tons of mother nature fury. Great acting.

My initial feeling of, "not bad" faded quickly as a fair premise was destroyed by an increasingly silly plot with dialog and direction so bad any actor with options would refuse. The no-budget CGI is filled with objects and people that shatter in a way that evokes bad cubistic art. The best thing I can say is compared to other Syfy originals I've watched (or at least attempted to watch) it was above-average and kept my attention for at least a half hour.

We enjoyed this movie. Predictable in places but well worth watching.

An excellent example of "next age" syncretism. (Mauro Lanari)

This is a movie that you catch on TV one afternoon, quickly realize is bad, but keep watching because it looks like it's gonna end up being a "so bad it's good" kind of bad. Nope. You'll get to the end and realize it was just so bad it's bad the whole time.
