Christmas Bloody Christmas

• Horror

A darkly comedic and relentlessly violent slasher film set against the seemingly cheerful backdrop of a small town Christmas Eve, *Christmas Bloody Christmas* unleashes an animatronic Santa Claus on a murderous rampage fueled by a glitch and escalating chaos. Unlike typical holiday horror that relies on suspense, this film delivers unapologetic gore and a distinctively cynical tone, following Tori as she navigates a battle for survival amongst a cast of flawed, self-absorbed characters. The escalating body count isn’t simply horror for horror’s sake, but a darkly satirical commentary on consumerism and societal decay, punctuated by practical effects and a genuinely unsettling robotic antagonist. It transforms the familiar festive setting into a visceral, adrenaline-fueled spectacle where holiday cheer meets brutal, over-the-top mayhem, offering a surprisingly exhilarating – and gleefully unpleasant – alternative to traditional Christmas fare.
