The story is what the Christmas season is all about and you have to look at it that way. The story is about a man who wanted to become Santa because he realized that Santa doesn't exist. He doesn't want kids to be let down so he takes it upon himself to become the living embodiment of him. It's such a beautiful tale of trying to bring Christmas to other folks. It seems like you were only watching this hoping for kills and nothing more. Not really the Christmas sprit.Mr. Johnny Sandmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052255118249746992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072162757681353704.post-81210866043475308212010-12-15T22:49:20.830-06:002010-12-15T22:49:20.830-06:00I did try watching this movie as a psychological h...I did try watching this movie as a psychological horror film as opposed to a hack-n-slash. The problem was it wasn't well-done. I understand this was a no-budget movie and I didn't expect much, but it still could have been edited better and made less confusing.

I do agree about the first half - WAY too long to set things up. I was extremely bored during this portion. But I dig the last half and how the main character actually believes he's Santa. And while the very end is definitely WTF worthy, it makes sense in terms of the psychological state of the character. How I see it is that it didn't really happen, but it was all in his head. That thought process makes me tolerate the film more. But I do understand why you didn't have a feel for it.

It'...I actually enjoyed this film for very much. It's more of a psychological film to me then a straight up slasher film. The ending, which has to be seen to be believed, fits in since it gets to the heart of what the character is all about.
