Shudder Day: Christmas Bloody Christmas (2022)

Another traumatizing Christmas Film.

Ho ho ho!

In this 2022 Film, we are introduced to a bunch of weird Hipsters in a random Town on Christmas Eve.

The duo- who run a Record Store- hang out with their friends- a Couple who run a Toy Store- for a bit.

The guy- Jonah Ray Rodrigues, who I keep seeing ONLY on Shudder Films.
Weird!

In the Intro, we get News Exposition (or Newsposition) about how a Company retrofitted Battle Androids to make Santas.

They were all taken out of Stores though...or were they?!?

They go home, unaware of the danger that has just woken up.

To the annoyance of some Commenters on Shudder, they spend quite a while riffing on Music, Films and other topics.

Just be patient though.

Soon enough, 'Santa' has killed the pair at the Store and follows them home.

It takes out some more victims and NOBODY is safe!

Can the Cops save the day?  
Can they ever in these Films?

Will our Final Girl live up to her name?

To find out, stream it now.

A bloody fun Film, once you let it get going.

Right off the bat, let me cover the obvious complaint- the Intro.  It is prolonged.  It is a few long Scenes of our Leads interacting.  It does feel improvised quite a bit.

Is that bad?  For me, no.

This made the Film feel 'real' and the Characters fleshed out.  
We get to see these people 'being real' with each other for a bit before the chaos begins.

Once said chaos begins, of course, there's little time to rest.

My only real complaint is that the killer Santa Robot doesn't really 'feel' like a robot until the latter half of the Film.  It's just a big guy walking around with them adding in 'robot' noises with each step.

I do also wonder how he sneaks up on people when every step sounds like an hydraulic press!

Christmas Bloody Christmas is a bloody good time and I recommend it to all fans of Indy Horror.
There's enough extra with the whole 'robot' element to make it feel different.

Plus, we got this nice Christmas card out of it.

Blood and guts abound...eventually.  Give the Movie some time and I think it will grow on you by the end.
