The Mean One (2022)

Warning: Spoilers
The film is a combination of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Silent Night Deadly Night." In one scene you see them paying homage to the film when they remove the antlers above the fireplace where Linnea Quigley was impaled. It also has a decapitation scene not similar to the 1984 Christmas classic. The film takes place in Newville, California which rhymes with Whoville. Cindy (Krystle Martin) like Cindy Lou Who meets the Grinch as a child, who then kills her mother when attacked. Twenty years later she returns to town with her dad (Flip Kobler) only to discover the town does not celebrate Christmas. They decide to hang some decorations which starts the terror all over.

There is some narration which is similar to the poetry performed in the Grinch film. Designed as a spoof, I think most people are missing the point. That said, it wasn't that great either.

Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.
