Santa's Slay (2005)
6/10
Outrageous Christmas "black comedy" ......
8 December 2010
Only surpassed as a Christmas dark comedy by "Bad Santa", "Santa's Slay" is still a great runner up. The opening scene, crammed with name actors is terrific. A family consisting of Fran Drescher, Chris Kattan, and James Cahn, among others, has just finished their Christmas dinner, thanking the "Almighty" for not making them poor, when literally, Bill Goldberg busts from the fireplace as "Santa", and outrageous mayhem ensues. Thus the tone is set for this over the top "black comedy". Robert Culp plays an eccentric Grandfather, who does curling battle with "Santa", in an effort to end the reign of "yule tide fear". The movie does slowly slide downhill, and one of the leads, Douglas Smith, is marginal at best, but "Santa's Slay" is still highly recommended for those who like their Christmas comedy on the dark side. - MERK
