Not only do I have some great live events to share, but the start of <i>March Monster Madness</i> continues at the SIFF Cinema Egyptian in Seattle, WA, with some GREAT monster flicks playing through the rest of the month, and Wyrd Wars <i>March Into Fantasy</i> series in Portland, OR. Just scroll down and take a look at all the great things happening this week. Your eyes will bulge out.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoFDDyHcfJO5pdFXOLUyWUxQsMiBffToY2H-AQArFXrrkWJS0qcGQvK4EsB-ly9TWeucmTw7quwGdFiGKtlVW7-6AjeFi2Sk_prlvmnHXNyHLm9GESC4qg8mzJS_vpiwx3S4Ro3XV9is53jEb9o0PxQbatqA5Uuzh69rxN5yok-J-dyBm2-HKVZV3DgvQ/s433/2016-08-04-in-a-word.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="243" data-original-width="433" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoFDDyHcfJO5pdFXOLUyWUxQsMiBffToY2H-AQArFXrrkWJS0qcGQvK4EsB-ly9TWeucmTw7quwGdFiGKtlVW7-6AjeFi2Sk_prlvmnHXNyHLm9GESC4qg8mzJS_vpiwx3S4Ro3XV9is53jEb9o0PxQbatqA5Uuzh69rxN5yok-J-dyBm2-HKVZV3DgvQ/s320/2016-08-04-in-a-word.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Oh, the Elder Gods have blessed us this week!</span></p><p>Oh, but that's not all. Head to the <a href="https://shadowoverportland.blogspot.com/p/horror-calendar.html">Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar</a> for all the genre screenings at the Hollywood Theatre in Portland, OR, which includes films ranging from George Romero's zombie classic <b>Dawn of the Dead</b> to the low budget favorite (with some AMAZING monster effects) <b>The Deadly Spawn</b> (in GLORIOUS 35mm), and much more. I also have a link to the <b>Bonebat Comedy of Horrors Film Festival</b> in Seattle, WA, and other great events coming later this year. You'll want to take a look, as I'm sure some of the events will sell out.</p><p>And I've got more to post, like the <b>OMSI Sci Fi Film Fest</b> in Portland, OR (starting at the end of March), so keep checking back to plan out the next few months, if not the rest of the year.</p><p>Well, that's what I have for now. Time to get back to the day job.

And I'm still not sure it won't be at some point. Hell, my review of <b>The Devil's Rain</b> got tagged months after I posted it. But I have a point to make, so let's get to it.</p><p>We all know <b>Dune 2</b> is playing everywhere, with theaters hoping to make up for the low box office takes for the first two months of the year (and if it helps local theaters, I'm all for it!). But, giving you can't not find a theater showing it, I didn't bother listing it on the site. However, I have beaversign the likes of which God has never seen.</p><p>Yep, <b>Hundreds of Beavers</b> is being screened at more venues, and I have a suggestion. If it's playing at a theater near you, skip the crowded opening weekend for the latest blockbuster (hell, we all know we'll be seeing it soon), and check out this little indie feature instead. If we support it, more local theaters might be willing to take a chance on screening other small indie films. Money talks, and our dollars are our vote for more films like this.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNcc4K1QOvrMKEM9UPx0_IbiWQ5r5zufapVsy3HXXB7LNPDSIjUwoRDVL3fYr8HtVdSKpC6dq4w8oqTdQ0yhyLkEFJZ0jKH05hzqUPvX-0yVzktDN5FwUa2HIeeIq5u0iFcH6uTQYUwFfHe3yo06yvUci8QaAVYqAyt2lndo3OBAj1vPfOtPUXvStCX1M/s296/Unknown.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="170" data-original-width="296" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNcc4K1QOvrMKEM9UPx0_IbiWQ5r5zufapVsy3HXXB7LNPDSIjUwoRDVL3fYr8HtVdSKpC6dq4w8oqTdQ0yhyLkEFJZ0jKH05hzqUPvX-0yVzktDN5FwUa2HIeeIq5u0iFcH6uTQYUwFfHe3yo06yvUci8QaAVYqAyt2lndo3OBAj1vPfOtPUXvStCX1M/s1600/Unknown.jpeg" width="296" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It shouldn't take me beating you over the head with a chair to get that point across. </span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></p><p>Okay, enough preaching.

Seriously, no one is screening one of the original <b>Evil Dead</b> movies for Ash Wednesday? Seems like a natural to me. Well, maybe next year.</p><p>I'm a bit behind on the <a href="https://shadowoverportland.blogspot.com/p/horror-calendar.html">Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar</a>, at least as far as future events are concerned. I hope to remedy that situation this weekend, but I'm making no promises. I'll be celebrating another rotation around the sun, so updating the site will take a backseat. Still, keep checking back, as I always have plenty of great event to share.</p><p>Well, that's what I have for now.

Sure, you could opt for roses and chocolates, but if your tastes are lean more towards a haunted house, or a creepy, Valentine themed movie, I've got you covered. </p><p>Be aware, these events are selling out. One event I planned to post already has, and I'm sure many others will follow.

If you bought tickets for a cancelled event, or couldn't make it due to the road conditions, most of the venues I've seen are honoring any tickets for the rescheduled event, or will offer a refund. Visit the links to see the policy for a venue. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyzmzO4gqWSfh9rbxP29l5ezeSNn3jtkk_HWU1yl7w4qkPZBrrfsI_Ji-NUZ8k9G3AjG3U85OveF-tV0giR5w06LTKa-A6SueegneNSYhOAXJuw3VshpNy5EC1PX2vF8F_CtbnH07Cm7fIOS6GjlI6NIau36gvs90itlY9R24qEjXEEmjFXNozu8XE-Ec/s540/halloweenIII.original.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="303" data-original-width="540" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyzmzO4gqWSfh9rbxP29l5ezeSNn3jtkk_HWU1yl7w4qkPZBrrfsI_Ji-NUZ8k9G3AjG3U85OveF-tV0giR5w06LTKa-A6SueegneNSYhOAXJuw3VshpNy5EC1PX2vF8F_CtbnH07Cm7fIOS6GjlI6NIau36gvs90itlY9R24qEjXEEmjFXNozu8XE-Ec/s320/halloweenIII.original.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">But there was so much snow, I couldn't make it!</span></p><p>Also, I'm need to mention that <b>Godzilla Minus One: Minus Color</b> will only be in theaters for ONE WEEK, so if you want to check it out, better do it before Thursday. This isn't a decision by the theaters, but comes down from Toho Studios. Which is weird. If the film makes money, one would think they'd be flexible.

I'll be honest, I had to work through the snowpocalypse, and took some time off from my Shadow Over Portland duties to keep what little sanity I have intact. I'll catch up soon, so keep checking back, as I've got some great things to share. </p><p>Well, back to the day job.

And now it's time to support local businesses!.<p>First, let me say I'm sorry for the very late edition of the Weekly Update. The day job doesn't shut down due to bad weather, and I ended up sleeping at my worksite for a couple days, and call outs had me working extra hours. And I was one of those calling out due to the weather, as I hit the ground due to the ice, and managed to get home cold, wet and hurting, and unwilling to try to try getting to the bus stop once again.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2HZn1Uc1o3YswYDHvTKg7o-8jqJLN5tUWp03yp0j1xkm8Mcx_sv5BmLF6UsuF7jnlLwxm1fU_oyd_NP_dTcEVUaqxBNZvxvT9cN7cap9popgrBL79LJK04RocU0RWwteLgTRnWRcdCSt3Jk3CVtQOhMXZQItvuTXqVCWlFOo0m4KE9AUDa2BPl5UdQdY/s1000/4.-Frozen.jpg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2HZn1Uc1o3YswYDHvTKg7o-8jqJLN5tUWp03yp0j1xkm8Mcx_sv5BmLF6UsuF7jnlLwxm1fU_oyd_NP_dTcEVUaqxBNZvxvT9cN7cap9popgrBL79LJK04RocU0RWwteLgTRnWRcdCSt3Jk3CVtQOhMXZQItvuTXqVCWlFOo0m4KE9AUDa2BPl5UdQdY/s320/4.-Frozen.jpg.webp" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Didn't end up this bad, but I was just done.</span></p><p>And using public transit was difficult, because of cancelations and long travel times due to the buses being chained. In all, the time constraints and general fatigue kept me from working on the site. Again, sorry for the delayed post. Not that it had much of an impact, as I'm sure most events were likely cancelled.</p><p>But now, the weather is warming up, and the icy sidewalks and side roads are slowly melting. And, when it's safe for you to travel, visit your locally owned theaters, restaurants and other venues. They, and their employees, lost money over the past week, and need our support. It's been a rough few years already, and the recent icy weather has strained them even further. If we want them to stay open, now is the time to step up and give them as much monetary support as you can over the coming weeks.</p><p>And the Weekly Update has plenty of suggestions (again, check the links). It might be a bit of an inconvenience, but I'm sure your locally owned businesses would appreciate you spending your money at their sites.</p><p>And lots of events have been rescheduled due to the weather, and I'll be adding them to the <a href="https://shadowoverportland.blogspot.com/p/horror-calendar.html">Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar</a> in the next few days, so keep checking back.</p><p>That's all I have for now. Stay safe, keep as warm as you can (especially those without power), and I'll be back next week with more great events happening under The Shadow Over Portland.</p><div><div><div><div><div><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Happening This Week</b></span></p><div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Live Attractions </b></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div></div><div><span style="font-size: small;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKyptmx7CVVPPv_YUgOJjMmE5WDmwFmahRLP265jrCeMlk6EWPET10pX6248X4RVOU8LTQHA1oVscMwiMR3EGvaSytrJLbx-LOHOe_V7XE3Zf65-CnNf5rA37c5-WQvnWL62WP7aeW1r3y7Xb1GUIlZ7g7lhglWOCaeDv18F69PIcQbse3LFXSSHhWcSU/s2000/ca393da6-5729-367d-c79b-334988f14ad2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="2000" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKyptmx7CVVPPv_YUgOJjMmE5WDmwFmahRLP265jrCeMlk6EWPET10pX6248X4RVOU8LTQHA1oVscMwiMR3EGvaSytrJLbx-LOHOe_V7XE3Zf65-CnNf5rA37c5-WQvnWL62WP7aeW1r3y7Xb1GUIlZ7g7lhglWOCaeDv18F69PIcQbse3LFXSSHhWcSU/s320/ca393da6-5729-367d-c79b-334988f14ad2.png" width="320" /></a></div><div><b>Hidden Worlds: The Films of LAIKA</b> is open at the <a href="https://www.mopop.org/laika">Museum of Pop Culture</a> (located in the Seattle Center; 325 5th Ave N in Seattle, WA).

If you plan on head out to any event you see on the site over the next few days, use the links provided to make sure you won't be heading back home after you arrive. And if you do go out, be careful. I'm sure the roads are getting slick right now.</p><p>If you're staying home, you can always check the <a href="https://shadowoverportland.blogspot.com/p/horror-calendar.html">Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar</a> and start making plans for the coming year.

Released the same year as <b>Silent Night, Deadly Night</b>, the production was...</p><p><i>Oh, really, Chris. I thought you hit the bottom of the barrel with <b>Jack Frost 2</b>, but you're really sinking now. </i></p><p>Hey, you didn't even let me get to the review.</p><p><i>Okay, you got me. I'm just here to remind you that you've only reviewed 6 Holiday films, and you're running out of time.</i></p><p>Yeah, I know. But I've done a good amount of reviews this month, so give me a break. I'm calling that a win.</p><p><i>Well, that is true. Carry on. I'll be back for the next one.</i></p><p>Hey, it'll be after Christmas. Don't you, like, hibernate or something?</p><p><i>Nope. See ya.</i></p><p>I can't wait. Anyway, released the same year as <b>Silent Night, Deadly Night</b>, this film didn't generate the same amount of outrage. I assume the reason was it wasn't widely advertised or theatrically released. And the plot is about a masked killer dicing up men dressed as Santa, rather than a killer dressed as Santa, so it might have let it slip under the radar of the moral crusaders in the 80s.</p><p>Trying to describe the plot feels pointless, other than to say a masked killer is stalking the streets of London, slashing up any man dressed as Santa. We have Kate (Belinda Mayne), who's father is dressed as Santa, and dies in front of her, her boyfriend Cliff (Gerry Sundquist), who becomes a suspect, Chief Inspector Harris of Scotland Yard (director Edmund Purdom), who also becomes a suspect after being removed from the case, and Detective Sergeant Powell (Mark Jones), trying to figure it all out. Oh, and a sex worker, Sherry (Kelly Baker), witnesses one of the murders and is kidnapped later in the film by the killer.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNanntWZsva6jU5RfHRZFJhRJOwykB6RLGSkGU-kHGu_QG_UT7P8ludRUiZaHvm_rFJb5YcTBdVZfzO-I_XE07k88kgNnRfp7uDGlKrbIKU96hsWappnhbTuiiZWfpRaK11G-06QR0VdMbS3vf565_6acLxzDvxdsVUwoo7ysgeRy3krLymrFEQd7yaGg/s576/review_dont-open-till-christmas.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="288" data-original-width="576" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNanntWZsva6jU5RfHRZFJhRJOwykB6RLGSkGU-kHGu_QG_UT7P8ludRUiZaHvm_rFJb5YcTBdVZfzO-I_XE07k88kgNnRfp7uDGlKrbIKU96hsWappnhbTuiiZWfpRaK11G-06QR0VdMbS3vf565_6acLxzDvxdsVUwoo7ysgeRy3krLymrFEQd7yaGg/s320/review_dont-open-till-christmas.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Oh, that's gotta hurt.</span></p><p>You might have noticed I mention the killer attacks men dressed as Santa. And it's because the killer encounters a porn model, Sharon (Pat Astley), barely dressed as Santa, and lets her go. The problem is, she saw him in his mask, as did Sherry, but he doesn't come after her as he does Sherry, for reasons never fully explained.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSGAzedwyEpjn7Wey_DcT4n_iHnveaU5vJWbR46t7PgIcadSbOMLLba-WnPipa1tCSi65_GHyQQ0NVUWTS0DE4sxK55WdQXvrwRD9FAG4UCmskuu7HFQJGZr87zUaRGCpnAm3rlPeJGGvMt80psZ9w57wUr3lEgeb6YNBAU_gWhDc6ptv76YJ8X4leDRY/s672/MV5BZTA3YThlN2ItYzFkNi00NmQzLWFhNDgtODUwOGY0YWRlZjI1XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjUyNDk2ODc@._V1_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="372" data-original-width="672" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSGAzedwyEpjn7Wey_DcT4n_iHnveaU5vJWbR46t7PgIcadSbOMLLba-WnPipa1tCSi65_GHyQQ0NVUWTS0DE4sxK55WdQXvrwRD9FAG4UCmskuu7HFQJGZr87zUaRGCpnAm3rlPeJGGvMt80psZ9w57wUr3lEgeb6YNBAU_gWhDc6ptv76YJ8X4leDRY/s320/MV5BZTA3YThlN2ItYzFkNi00NmQzLWFhNDgtODUwOGY0YWRlZjI1XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjUyNDk2ODc@._V1_.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It might have been Sharon's boobs. Just saying, as the film implies it.</span></p><p>It's not that the killer is picky. I think it has to do with the film's troubled production. Filming started in December of 1982, but conflicts between the producers and director/star Purdom caused multiple delays. Purdom quit the production, leading to writer Derek Ford and editor Ray Selfie taking separate stabs at directing.</p><p>With Purdom's departure, rewrites and multiple reshoots were needed, leading to recasting of characters as the original actors were unavailable. Purdom eventually returned, adding to the confusion. I don't envy Selfie's job, as it's evident he did the best he could to make a coherent film with the footage he was given. Cliff basically vanishes, the potential romance between Harris and Kate leads nowhere, even as she finds reason to suspect him as the killer. And the kidnapping of Sherry feels like it was added to bring the film to a close, though the original ending was included when Purdom returned to the production. </p><p>And here I get into SPOILERS. So skip the next paragraph, though I don't think it matters much.</p><p><br /></p><p>Okay, Sherry escapes the killer, and runs through a beautiful apartment complex. Yet no one opens their doors to see why a woman is screaming in the hallway, and a body falls down to the first floor. And Harris' demise from opening a gift from his brother makes no sense. Sure, we get a flashback explaining the killer's hatred of Santa, but it's from Harris' point of view. It would have worked better had he been the killer, but I suspect the production issues kept this from happening.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjGUYK_tE6trwV8KfQ3RsdQa-T6BKHe-kO20iQVNAcV-HO-ubBTGCQGX29oNavO1agOLazkn8Qda_jCAs23iv95XJ5wKNGt4jT7Q5v-CFgV_p3qjtd1rV7n7fvx7JOiHs8vQtIzwhe3JZZKpzLKQNNJC9D9Q4Cv4pIBwSFu0pzZgMU8SAd2FArFLe5BYc/s296/images-1.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="170" data-original-width="296" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjGUYK_tE6trwV8KfQ3RsdQa-T6BKHe-kO20iQVNAcV-HO-ubBTGCQGX29oNavO1agOLazkn8Qda_jCAs23iv95XJ5wKNGt4jT7Q5v-CFgV_p3qjtd1rV7n7fvx7JOiHs8vQtIzwhe3JZZKpzLKQNNJC9D9Q4Cv4pIBwSFu0pzZgMU8SAd2FArFLe5BYc/s1600/images-1.jpeg" width="296" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Not gonna spoil it, but it makes no sense and ends on a fade out.

But even the addition of Caroline Munro (billed as herself) performing a musical number interrupted by another murder, can't elevate this film beyond a lump of coal. Maybe, without the issues during its production, <b>Don't Open till Christmas</b> could have been a decent holiday slasher.

I know, things can get stressful, so I'm here with another edition of the Weekly Update, should you need to find some Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy event to get away from all the holiday hassles.</p><p>I want to apologize for missing last week's update, but it wasn't the merriest week at work, and the stress really drained me last Friday and Saturday. Not to mention I developed a case of vertigo that lasted several hours earlier in the week. I couldn't get out of bed without feeling like I was spinning, and had to lean against the walls just to make a trip to the bathroom. That was not fun, but it appears I was lucky, as most cases linger for days or longer.

And that happened with the 1997 horror comedy <b>Jack Frost</b>. With the decent marketing, outlandish plot, and the cast playing it straight (and delivering good performances), the film was a direct-to-home-video success. So, of course, we're going to a get a sequel, but...</p><p><i>Really, Chris, you're going back to the bottom of the barrel.</i></p><p>Hey, Ghost of Christmas Past. I liked the first one, and in my review of it, I said I'd get to the sequel. If I can't follow up my promise for twelve holiday reviews by the end of December, I'm at least going to get to this film.</p><p><i>Well, I can respect that.</i></p><p>Hey, I'm doing my best. Now please leave, and let me get to this review.</p><p><i>Fine. See you soon.</i></p><p>Oh, lucky me. Okay, so the first <b>Jack Frost</b> (not the Keaton movie) was a home video success, so it's no surprise writer/ director Michael Cooney (oh, wow, he wrote <b>Identity</b>, starring John Cusack, Ray Lotta and Amanda Peet; I didn't expect that on his resume) was able to raise enough money for a sequel three years later. But, honestly, we didn't need it. The film offers no reason for a follow-up, other than to make more money and set up a franchise. Oh yeah, Cooney had plans for a third. More on that later.</p><p>The film takes place a year after the events at Snowmonton, where Sheriff Sam Tiler (Christopher Allport) and his wife Anne (Eileen Seeley) are heading out to a tropical island to celebrate the wedding of deputy Joe (Chip Heller) and his fiancee Marie (Marsha Clark).</p><p>Look, it's nice that the original actors are back. But it doesn't make the movie a must watch. As before, they all are good, but the script doesn't give any reason for the audience to care about their reprising their roles. </p><p>Of course, some government agency is still interested in using snowman Jack (voiced once again by Scott MacDonald) as a weapon, so they dig him up and allow him to escape, because of course they do. No government facility is secure enough to stop a movie plot.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsOkup8SMlw72Srx8PZvWj95Uexf126G7T2lcaNLwBYv_IMgjb8FfgIYE5-EpauofjTZEU-c2XvsO2HAniGBPK1bbZKIWE7XVdxTDeFyheiTAHikP0oOovMWaOZZleK7n8CCV-GUEXCkRYxUuPhj_2ZcNjJaZpcq8ApRR5goyskER2qZpWiynmtu1czj8/s576/jack-frost-2-revenge-of-the-mutant-killer-snowman-518702l-576x0-w-ebfc76f7.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="576" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsOkup8SMlw72Srx8PZvWj95Uexf126G7T2lcaNLwBYv_IMgjb8FfgIYE5-EpauofjTZEU-c2XvsO2HAniGBPK1bbZKIWE7XVdxTDeFyheiTAHikP0oOovMWaOZZleK7n8CCV-GUEXCkRYxUuPhj_2ZcNjJaZpcq8ApRR5goyskER2qZpWiynmtu1czj8/s320/jack-frost-2-revenge-of-the-mutant-killer-snowman-518702l-576x0-w-ebfc76f7.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">You "snow" I'd be back.

Yeah, okay, I'm a fan of bad 50s sci fi films, so I can get the SCIENCE! behind this (and if you don't shout it, it's not 50s SCIENCE!). It also gives Jack a weakness the cast can exploit, which is good, as Jack now seems to be a snow god on par with Elsa in that Disney film. He's now able to manipulate the weather, can create indestructible, murderous snowball critters, and is unaffected by anti-freeze. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsbdOHhqqtLlbJWzaJhub33mMLnPQvTiPw1KFVU1-p7WJ4le5a2rs9ZbfkeMO2AVI294z1LSyiI5egnQH97EXVx7B5OW-K9DLPuvkPUkb7s44y9pAg3nMecl73QhHOB6tcrVEwxQ2xDGomnV0q7p8nSg8g1Y4Z2T0OF6ggWSKf9W8BBT1QxYHFArBDCDY/s299/images.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="299" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsbdOHhqqtLlbJWzaJhub33mMLnPQvTiPw1KFVU1-p7WJ4le5a2rs9ZbfkeMO2AVI294z1LSyiI5egnQH97EXVx7B5OW-K9DLPuvkPUkb7s44y9pAg3nMecl73QhHOB6tcrVEwxQ2xDGomnV0q7p8nSg8g1Y4Z2T0OF6ggWSKf9W8BBT1QxYHFArBDCDY/s1600/images.jpeg" width="299" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Look, this worked in <b>Gremlins</b>.

We even get an appearance from Doug Jones (yes, THAT Doug Jones). But this time, something's missing, and I think it's due to the setting.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy27bWj1wIJoImNuK8EP94-LRAFMW7CGLd1sR3bZ-EH2zbyK1AWerJCSa1e1Pwz5NV-kuU9qN5BQaFxezhpMCIYjftsZitnAWNHDhfKh97t56EKFLBtdKM2YZgWMIf-FGbz7iNWP7K5QhEjUsZUvjkm5-bH51WE4ZiYoxDqw20PP-pw-6sfm4UAJHrgKA/s300/images-2.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="300" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy27bWj1wIJoImNuK8EP94-LRAFMW7CGLd1sR3bZ-EH2zbyK1AWerJCSa1e1Pwz5NV-kuU9qN5BQaFxezhpMCIYjftsZitnAWNHDhfKh97t56EKFLBtdKM2YZgWMIf-FGbz7iNWP7K5QhEjUsZUvjkm5-bH51WE4ZiYoxDqw20PP-pw-6sfm4UAJHrgKA/s1600/images-2.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Hey' we're shoot at a location with a pool. Might as well use it for a skinny dipping scene!</span></p><p>Look, I get that relying on the weather to deliver what a filmmaker wants is dicey. You plan shooting at a location that usually has snow, but it turns out to be a dry year. You go to film in Hawaii, and the film is delayed due to a hurricane. You can't predict the weather, so setting this film at a tropical resort seems a good idea, as you can fake a tropical island better easier than trying to fill a town with snow.</p><p>But, the first <b>Jack Frost</b> location gave the film a bit more charm. The second one comes off looking terribly cheap. And moving the location to somewhere sunnier doesn't keep with the Christmas vibe. Though Jack does cover the island with snow, the film looses the holiday charm of the original, just like <b>Silent Night, Deadly Night 2</b>. If you're making a Christmas slasher film, the setting needs to fit the season. You can't just throw up a few Christmas lights and call it good.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiB3begoNNESaWUoj4p5tMmNhWO4jIT2n1gRz2p3gQFOpeTdNTI7Zoi8FNhT1hMu6CQ_3EThgnhCR0vXSqUboV65yxcdHaN99dc0CF0-0IQ9jTtIei1x0dhFWI8A0mFY0YDmq4OYR8CyVh09vXiCQ4lKnLTnxDWORSN5ZxxanPNMtjN41LOmSFGf2iQOY/s952/jackfrost21.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="529" data-original-width="952" height="178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiB3begoNNESaWUoj4p5tMmNhWO4jIT2n1gRz2p3gQFOpeTdNTI7Zoi8FNhT1hMu6CQ_3EThgnhCR0vXSqUboV65yxcdHaN99dc0CF0-0IQ9jTtIei1x0dhFWI8A0mFY0YDmq4OYR8CyVh09vXiCQ4lKnLTnxDWORSN5ZxxanPNMtjN41LOmSFGf2iQOY/s320/jackfrost21.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sorry, it just doesn't look as good as the first film.</span></p><p>But the biggest problem with this film is it tries too hard to capture what made the original work. Sometimes, you just have to accept that your first effort was the best you could do with the story, and just let it go. But I'm sure the idea of a franchise, and the money that comes with it, was impossible for filmmaker Conney to resist. I can't blame him for making a sequel when he could, but I don't think he should have.</p><p>As I mentioned, Conney teases a third film with an end credit scene. Yeah, he was planning <b>Jackzilla</b>. Appears that wasn't a joke, though I think it's better left as a comedic final scene.</p><p>Look, the original <b>Jack Frost</b> is a fun holiday slasher. But <b>Jack Frost 2</b> just doesn't work. It might be fine playing in the background while you wrap presents or prepare your holiday meal. But if you're going to sit down on a cold winter night and watch a Christmas horror film, I can suggest others more worth your time.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMLh-R8dl_0-VvOUXvCuZX5iH1lpTPHvy9uJjmBueBtIGaMIr1CphhRLEpkbcaMSeexLspZN8IpXgBAEQfGdOXK6E4Zh81EqPvbHwu0DEEczPqLB9i04a6WpL8gfwM5s9Ay043PmgajJIohJmL0_4hmOFGN1HhBxdQNcUEAp1skvPST9nSHaJTNeOdUi8/s500/jackfrostii1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="500" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMLh-R8dl_0-VvOUXvCuZX5iH1lpTPHvy9uJjmBueBtIGaMIr1CphhRLEpkbcaMSeexLspZN8IpXgBAEQfGdOXK6E4Zh81EqPvbHwu0DEEczPqLB9i04a6WpL8gfwM5s9Ay043PmgajJIohJmL0_4hmOFGN1HhBxdQNcUEAp1skvPST9nSHaJTNeOdUi8/s320/jackfrostii1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">You won't want to got to this extreme while watching the film.

In ways, I find them lacking. Filmmakers tend to focus more on the season, and forget the story is a creepy Christmas ghost story. But this animated version, broadcast on ABC in December of 1971, delivers the message, and chills, in just 25 minutes.<p></p><p> <i>Well, Chris, you're finally getting to this classic.

And it doesn't shy away from delivering some Christmas fear.</p><p><i>Okay, I can see that. Please continue.</i></p><p>Thank you. Though I expect to see you later.</p><p><i>Of course. I have to uphold the tradition</i></p><p>Yeah, great, thanks. Okay, I don't think we need to get too detailed in the plot. Scrooge is a miser, visited by ghosts intent on making him a better person. And, by showing him visions of Christmas past, present and future, Scrooge becomes a better person, holding the spirit of the season in his heart year round.</p><p>If only it was that easy. I don't see Elon Musk changing his ways by a haunting like this. He'd probably just post on Twitter/X that some woke ghosts are out to get him.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRX86uXgj_aR_n0HU9v18Uv-6g-4oXF1toOFg9Y6UokAhwcO6W-tMMPrW5If6e8SQ07e-eVOoriAvxxV8Ek68w_UO-bm8z7l-vbfeZMcOGZxa0BrDPyNnenTCf6qUXi5yxnp8vtPuro-zbL1YfUGvLqo_tnnRPbNFMqsulxZnDdwLutmgn7KW0dL7IrC0/s365/A_Christmas_Carol_(1971_film).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="273" data-original-width="365" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRX86uXgj_aR_n0HU9v18Uv-6g-4oXF1toOFg9Y6UokAhwcO6W-tMMPrW5If6e8SQ07e-eVOoriAvxxV8Ek68w_UO-bm8z7l-vbfeZMcOGZxa0BrDPyNnenTCf6qUXi5yxnp8vtPuro-zbL1YfUGvLqo_tnnRPbNFMqsulxZnDdwLutmgn7KW0dL7IrC0/s320/A_Christmas_Carol_(1971_film).jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Oh, I'd be so all over the internet after this.</span></p><p>So, why review this version of the timeless tale. Well, the animation is gorgeous. Director Richard Williams (<b>The Thief and the Cobbler</b>, <b>Who Framed Roger Rabbit</b>) worked with animator Ken Harris (<b>How the Grinch Stole Christmas</b>) to deliver a unique style for the animated feature. Sure, most of the feature is standard cell animation, but unlike other animated Christmas features, we get moments that look like an oil painting come to life. It's beautiful, with some sweeping shots that are pure art. And we get transparent ghosts! I can only guess how hard they were to animate. Oh, and did I mention they're scary as possible for a broadcast animated feature!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiGT9FUkLSTQwWhXaewPEB5Vt-7BwOT7Zq95bl1fjJQ_FOKhXLwjfoo4auE-BOvZggnNkxzJJ30GVAeODYdlEMeyGRd87LvC9o9UHpK2MuAFFej0-F6sQUEjcbnDQzHXKgwkFASI3XNrFplZY8GXiUAjLH5Dq-xiMJUufMKyFqISHO_yrT2Xk-XPdhSas/s454/scrooge-1971-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="341" data-original-width="454" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiGT9FUkLSTQwWhXaewPEB5Vt-7BwOT7Zq95bl1fjJQ_FOKhXLwjfoo4auE-BOvZggnNkxzJJ30GVAeODYdlEMeyGRd87LvC9o9UHpK2MuAFFej0-F6sQUEjcbnDQzHXKgwkFASI3XNrFplZY8GXiUAjLH5Dq-xiMJUufMKyFqISHO_yrT2Xk-XPdhSas/s320/scrooge-1971-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Yeah, this is some Christmas nightmare fuel right here.</span></p><p>And, I can't not talk about the Ghost of Christmas Past. This version is the closest to Dickens' description I've seen put to film. And I get that some past versions of the tale were limited by visual effects at the time. But given John Fulton's work on 1933's <b>The Invisible Man</b>, I suspect someone could have tackled a truer version of this ghost than the ones in previous versions.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT7ShYwljGPLCd87ljL7WwlWq5xGXCmJXRkZAJ4PkMQMwgdHAXk2TXTjdJ9t_SjX4SZCdQxke5D6Pn5o3nZB_Lje3E-Ba4_L-urdwUx3gIb4tnWxSt0Kb64sXWEMzEIxMKGZmFi371W6UP5b23zFg3cZkfjJ5GyZ2ys6RG5kFQ1ZFViH4GFqFSZdTrfKE/s400/caroldvd1_05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="301" data-original-width="400" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT7ShYwljGPLCd87ljL7WwlWq5xGXCmJXRkZAJ4PkMQMwgdHAXk2TXTjdJ9t_SjX4SZCdQxke5D6Pn5o3nZB_Lje3E-Ba4_L-urdwUx3gIb4tnWxSt0Kb64sXWEMzEIxMKGZmFi371W6UP5b23zFg3cZkfjJ5GyZ2ys6RG5kFQ1ZFViH4GFqFSZdTrfKE/s320/caroldvd1_05.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Oh, I'd love to see a practical VFX version of this ghost.</span></p><p>Alastair Sim and Michael Hordern reprise their roles as Scrooge and Marley, who they portrayed in 1951's <b>Scrooge</b>, which is great. The rest of the voice cast is equally good, and helps to deliver the emotional impact you'd expect. Animator Chuck Jones was executive producer, but let the animation team deliver a stunning feature without his classic characteristics (which I love, by the way). And kudos to him, as a Grinchy version of this Christmas classic wouldn't be as powerful.</p><p>The film was released theatrically after its broadcast premiere, making it eligible for Oscar consideration, and it won for Best Animated Short Film in 1972. However, some industry insiders took issue that a television show was given the award, and the Academy changed its policy, disqualifying eligibility for any future works broadcasted on television. It seems silly now, as streaming services are releasing films into theaters. But at the time, any television production wasn't considered true art. So now, release a film in theaters BEFORE it's available online, and you've got some Oscar consideration. As I said, it's silly, but that's the world we live in.</p><p>To my knowledge, this version of <b>A Christmas Carol</b> has not had an official home video release, which is stunning to me. So many subpar versions of the tale exist, I'd like to see this one get a Blu-Ray version. Well, I hope Santa reads this review and we'll get a proper release next year. Until that time, you can watch it on YouTube. And I suggest you do, as it's a great version of a Christmas ghost story.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iN6IMZFwY50" width="320" youtube-src-id="iN6IMZFwY50"></iframe></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Check it out.

It's the Ghost of Christmas Past. I'm back!</i></p><p>Yeah, like a bad case of food borne illness. </p><p><i>Just a reminder, you've only done three reviews this month, and it's half over.</i></p><p>Hey, I posted a review of <b>Godzilla Minus One</b>.</p><p><i>That's not a Christmas movie.</i></p><p>It's a big Christmas gift for Kiaju fans. And a great movie.</p><p><i>Doesn't count. Oh, and you missed posting the Weekly Update last Friday.</i></p><p>I know. But I was sick last week, and my weekend shift was bloody hell. Cut me a bit of slack.</p><p><i>No can do. That's not how Christmas Ghosts work.</i></p><p>Whatever. Just go away so I can get back to writing this review.</p><p><i>Sure. See you later.</i></p><p>Oh, lucky me. So, <b>Christmas Bloody Christmas</b>. Basically, this is a low-budget take on <b>The Terminator</b>, only the killer robot is dressed as Santa. Sounds like fun, but the film has some flaws that limits its ho-ho-horror delivery. </p><p>The film opens on Christmas Eve, where record store owner Tori (Riley Dandy, who's appeared in a few less-horrific Christmas films) is looking forward to a night of drinking and getting laid by a Tinder date. Her employee Sam (Robbie Reynolds), who's crushing on her, convinces her to spend the night drinking with him instead. </p><p>During a stop at a local bar, the two see a news broadcast about robotic Santas, based off a US Defense Department program, malfunctioning. But that doesn't bother them, even though pair visit a local toy store to visit a couple who work there, and has one of the Santa units, apparently switched off.</p><p>But after they leave, the Santa-800 activates itself, grabs an axe, kills the two employees (while they're having sex, of course), and heads out to create some Christmas mayhem. And Tori gets caught up in the bloody rampage.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl2-zPPsOkIkK2BqHL8evOsLT0haeEXcej9kS3y4qgmTszvkO5pLgaoBV79oN_FWqAKZ6iRxcE23_Ne7GwjqfKyrvG30ZXSCRGS1b76_8d5TPj5woWpd2UaPLGHZz_rJNJHe_gd3vVK8WlyvQw1pp6tpk1i4bSGf2QTNmizJon331KMYR6KV92eERX5Hc/s700/christmas-bloody-christmas-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="364" data-original-width="700" height="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl2-zPPsOkIkK2BqHL8evOsLT0haeEXcej9kS3y4qgmTszvkO5pLgaoBV79oN_FWqAKZ6iRxcE23_Ne7GwjqfKyrvG30ZXSCRGS1b76_8d5TPj5woWpd2UaPLGHZz_rJNJHe_gd3vVK8WlyvQw1pp6tpk1i4bSGf2QTNmizJon331KMYR6KV92eERX5Hc/s320/christmas-bloody-christmas-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Well, I've got an axe, and evil green eyes. Your milk and cookies won't be enough to appease me.</span></p><p>While the film sounds like fun, it didn't work for me for a few reasons. The biggest flaw is that Tori comes off as unlikeable right off, and the script gives her no opportunity to change during the events of the evening. It's not the fault of Dandy, who gives a good performance, but the script gives her a personality that's just grating and leaves you cheering on the Santa-800.</p><p>I'm not saying characters have to be likable when they're introduced in a film. They can have flaws, but a protagonist needs some redeeming qualities to make the audience want them to survive the upcoming conflict. Comparing Tori with David Harbour's Santa in <b>Violent Night</b>, you can see how the script fails her character. </p><p>At the start of <b>Violent Night</b>, Santa's not a likable character. He's cynical about Christmas and kids, he pukes on a bartender, and seems more interested in getting drunk than delivering gifts. But his antics are presented in a comedic tone, and his reasons for being Grinchy are relatable. And through his relationship with Trudy, Santa is given a redemption arc that Tori lacks. While Santa still has some rough edges at the conclusion of the film, we've seen him become a better person than he was at the start of the film.</p><p>Unfortunately, after her battle with the Santa-800, it's easy to feel Tori's will be the same insufferable person as she was in the opening. While it's fine to have a character the audience doesn't like at the start of a film, the events of the script needs to make them more appealing, or else it's hard hope they survive. As I said, Dandy is good in the role, but the script gives her little to work with, or make me not care if the Santa-800 kills her.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAugZDcd7Xi9fep5fAglC6XbDXl5zzVAsP4RwJkj89BwjcCuCE-rjTt1k5tzElPJCbq-Z4SQuTfwgiEvjX2pZVjB_vCNURH6fHHPHuYBRrP9pdBC51epZ5q18Qaph0CFsZGKaOChfdKBe8AQQbDO7YzCGipYYn5rogmMv_vlGc5PEI3gPhyphenhyphen_oXA3BRh-0/s700/4783423-thumb-700xauto-249704.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="467" data-original-width="700" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAugZDcd7Xi9fep5fAglC6XbDXl5zzVAsP4RwJkj89BwjcCuCE-rjTt1k5tzElPJCbq-Z4SQuTfwgiEvjX2pZVjB_vCNURH6fHHPHuYBRrP9pdBC51epZ5q18Qaph0CFsZGKaOChfdKBe8AQQbDO7YzCGipYYn5rogmMv_vlGc5PEI3gPhyphenhyphen_oXA3BRh-0/s320/4783423-thumb-700xauto-249704.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sure, she's covered in blood and takes on the robotic Santa by herself. But dammit, I just didn't care.</span></p><p>Another problem is how a small town toy shop could afford a robotic Santa. Sure. some large chain stores buying such a device makes sense, as a robot doesn't need breaks, their programming will insure they don't call out sick or have a bad day that affects customers. That's capitalism, baby.</p><p>But we have no indication that such an extravagant device would be affordable to small retail stores, given potential upgrades and replacing worn out parts. The script could have delivered a line or two explaining how this toy shop could afford a robotic Santa, but doesn't even try. Again, going back to <b>Violent Night</b>, a lot of what happens in that film is explained away by Christmas magic, which even Santa doesn't understand. It might not make sense, but it gives the audience a reason to believe in the events occurring during the film. But the script for <b>Christmas Bloody Christmas</b> doesn't deliver even a sliver of an explanation and expects you'll go with it, which doesn't work.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYxJaeDQiGWjvi5s9iU_H-XVjauJh0dyfFyDkxIolBR3GP-h3ZygmfJ5x69PHFb8sdHB7jUMakx8MLAx1BP-Tq3jbBCgy1eBK2b8WSqJ-CnhGGZ_Apblj61-mfbc8q_zt13PXl9zoMcfxoBlrF0KB57Vstjq9R0PWWfE6gMRGxMMogoT_sdFzFp7Uuvlg/s700/christmas-bloody-christmas-2.jpg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="287" data-original-width="700" height="131" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYxJaeDQiGWjvi5s9iU_H-XVjauJh0dyfFyDkxIolBR3GP-h3ZygmfJ5x69PHFb8sdHB7jUMakx8MLAx1BP-Tq3jbBCgy1eBK2b8WSqJ-CnhGGZ_Apblj61-mfbc8q_zt13PXl9zoMcfxoBlrF0KB57Vstjq9R0PWWfE6gMRGxMMogoT_sdFzFp7Uuvlg/s320/christmas-bloody-christmas-2.jpg.webp" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It's a robotic Santa with laser eyes. Do you have any idea how much that would cost?</span></p><p>And, I have to add, two of the actors playing law enforcement officers just felt off. While they give good performances, their facial hair resembles Lemmy, and they don't look like cops. Yeah, you can call me out for stereotyping two minor characters. But if the script doesn't give them a bit of a back story, the actors need to look the part, or the audience might not accept them.</p><p>That's not to say writer/director/producer Joe Begos' film isn't without some good points. The film has some good action scenes and impressive visual FXs. Though the cinematography is pretty dark during the kills, I suspect it was to appease the MPAA, as the film was released in theaters. And as the Santa-800 is damaged enough to reveal its robotics, the effects look great. </p><p>And, bravo to Begos for getting the film made. One has to admire his tenacity. Anyone with a script and the ability to get it onscreen should be applauded. I just wish he'd spent a bit more time working on the script.</p><p>I hate saying it, but I just can't recommend <b>Christmas Bloody Christmas</b>. While I admire the fact that Begos was able to make the film, the script doesn't work and the dark cinematography makes some of the kills and action sequences hard to follow. It's not a terrible film, but it just didn't deliver the holiday horror high I was hoping for.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3N5tcfSozBqGNF-CHX44crFqRsCF-HGsI8XivQJMhLcueS0MtQH6B_6Bd5zsOGGIRkW81_eBlerCD6BtuGfuMGB22DcfkhjE57XuSVUyIsdKudC9UzBZfb_tUah4FVjKgdWyrRf8K7v5mrxnZa1_4luD5wJjFzki3aHSedJZmyqa1wvBSMVH8r5IeUdc/s1200/1724.jpg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1200" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3N5tcfSozBqGNF-CHX44crFqRsCF-HGsI8XivQJMhLcueS0MtQH6B_6Bd5zsOGGIRkW81_eBlerCD6BtuGfuMGB22DcfkhjE57XuSVUyIsdKudC9UzBZfb_tUah4FVjKgdWyrRf8K7v5mrxnZa1_4luD5wJjFzki3aHSedJZmyqa1wvBSMVH8r5IeUdc/s320/1724.jpg.webp" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sorry, Riley, just couldn't recommend this Christmas movie.

Another stand alone film,<b> Godzilla Minus One</b> gives us Godzilla as a metaphor for war, and how humans deal with the crushing effects imposed by mass destruction. And, damn, it's a great film.</p><p>The film opens on a small airfield on an island in Japan, as kamekazi pilot Koichi Shikishima (Ryunosuke Kamiki) feigns mechanical issues to avoid his mission. After mechanic Sosaku Tachibana (Munetaka Aoki) tactfully calls him out, the island is attacked by a twenty to thirty foot Godzilla. </p><p>Koichi goes to his plane, with the intent of shooting the giant monster with the plane’s guns, but freezes, allowing the creature to kill everyone on the base but Koichi and Tachibana, who blames the pilot for the deaths of the others on the island. </p><p>Things don’t get much better for Koichi when he returns home to find his family died during the bombing and his neighbor, Sumiko Ota (Sakura Ando), blames him for not following his mission and causing the death of her family.</p><p>Koichi gets involved with Noriko Oishi (Manami Hamabe), a woman trying to survive in the ruins of Tokyo with Akiko, a child she “adopted” after her parents died. Dealing with this new family, Koichi gets a job clearing the mines left in the waters surrounding Japan after the war. But Godzilla comes back, juiced up by the Bikini Atoll test, and unleashes hell on post-war Japan. While America is unwilling to bring its military might to confront the threat, fearing such actions might provoke the Soviet Union, it falls upon a group of Japanese civilians to take Godzilla down</p><p>And, of course, kiaju mayhem ensues.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimevFr3WG9kQBViygWbaxhTOUZpRa2o14MP3Jtnnl26hrA9oXlgW08-s4Y9-IDXpCtVLKRfzjwPznsq81CynjT2C-KaoA2KV4k746AIttC5AlpC5uC51IETPcgzENPr3KZFlbmHNBhrngXc0sKD4yy4N3ZZUcy_NQXdMx6jeR4LukPvJduLWxd1y-3qdw/s400/godzilla-minus-one-pre-sale-tickets-date-rating-31.jpg.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="224" data-original-width="400" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimevFr3WG9kQBViygWbaxhTOUZpRa2o14MP3Jtnnl26hrA9oXlgW08-s4Y9-IDXpCtVLKRfzjwPznsq81CynjT2C-KaoA2KV4k746AIttC5AlpC5uC51IETPcgzENPr3KZFlbmHNBhrngXc0sKD4yy4N3ZZUcy_NQXdMx6jeR4LukPvJduLWxd1y-3qdw/s320/godzilla-minus-one-pre-sale-tickets-date-rating-31.jpg.webp" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm here to stomp across Japan and chew bubble gum. And I can't find enough bubble gum.</span></div><p></p><p>But mayhem is not what this film is about. It’s about people dealing with the destructive consequences of war, expected to fight a devastating power that dwarfs their capabilities, and how it affects them should they survive. Whether or not you condone how the characters react in the film, it all feels very real. </p><p>Unlike <b>Shin Godzilla</b>, which highlights a government's inability to react to a massive threat (I'm not going to say the Japanese government, as that film could apply to any world power), writer/director (and VFX director) Takashi Yamazaki harkens back to Godzilla as a metaphor for nuclear war (his heat breath unleashes a mushroom cloud), while dealing the struggles of those caught in the middle. And the guilt Koichi feels for his inaction during the war delivers an emotional impact that I didn’t expect from a kaiju film. You'll probably find some tears in your eyes during the final act, as I did, but the script earns it. Even if the last scene feels improbable, I was happy to cry during it. It showed that, no matter the horrors we face from government dictates, and events beyond our control, we can always find a space for forgiveness and peace. It's a powerful message, as characters put their animosities aside and forgive those they feel failed them. I must admit, I really felt hope for humanity watching this film.</p><p>Takashi does include several scenes that harken back to the 1954 classic, which is fun for fans. But it also cements the fact that he's using the monster as a metaphor for something bigger than simple kiaju thrills. Not that it doesn't deliver on that aspect. The sequences when Godzilla appears are as exhilarating as any recent giant monster movie, despite the low budget. Seriously, given the reported budget, the VFXs are amazing. </p><p>But such thrills aren't due to the effects, as good as they are. As most of the movie is spent with the human characters, it's their reaction to the threat that makes the action sequences so engaging. I wouldn't have been so engaged during the boat chase had Takashi not spent time with the crew of the mine-sweeping boat that Koichi is on. The three other crew members are so well written, and the actors are so good, that, while I expected they'd survive (as the main protagonist is aboard), I was still concerned for their safety. I wanted them all to live, and worried somehow they'd die and Koichi would be the sole survivor. That's great filmmaking.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjuhsYavBNxKoh4wbDHzf4_cXVXO4R4mtzKRUalQtuXcOIf59jnficJuhERsxCDBtzlccLJkXTNyjoeeItnVJ7PNB7oFwrvewhfrfEET5y86wGeGzUyVIySAFY__AYVPZK-xrLaQj067bqv_coMpcgwPbrePhuH_sh4baId6mq28j57GckbFCiMGKJJu0/s640/3be72d5028ff3df186e1a56e4107b5f1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="640" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjuhsYavBNxKoh4wbDHzf4_cXVXO4R4mtzKRUalQtuXcOIf59jnficJuhERsxCDBtzlccLJkXTNyjoeeItnVJ7PNB7oFwrvewhfrfEET5y86wGeGzUyVIySAFY__AYVPZK-xrLaQj067bqv_coMpcgwPbrePhuH_sh4baId6mq28j57GckbFCiMGKJJu0/s320/3be72d5028ff3df186e1a56e4107b5f1.png" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sure, this scene is cool. But if you care about the people on the boat, it's more terrifying. Just like <b>Jaws</b>.</span></p><p>I don't want to say much more about this film, and risk spoilers, other than you must see it on the big screen if you can. If you don't like giant monster movies, well, you're probably not reading this review. But, again, this isn't about Godzilla, the film is about the people that have to react against the overwhelming force facing them, after dealing with the horrors of a war that caused as much devastation as the giant lizard stomping across Japan.</p><p>The emotional impact delivered by <b>Godzilla Minus One</b> makes it a strong candidate for the best film I've seen this year, which includes my previous number one, <b>Oppenheimer</b>. Yeah, it's that good, and it deserves the box office attention it's receiving.</p><p>I get every studio is trying to create a money making cinematic universe, but I really hope Toho keeps giving us one offs like <b>Godzilla Minus One</b>. Let Legendary Pictures continue the Monsterverse. I'll go see them for the thrills, but I’d like Toho to continue to deliver Kiaju movies with a message and an emotional impact. As this film proves, there’s room for both. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiF_xbwhZsLj6ssV4nWsTwTP_WatpVkZW-bZ3OjtR1KKWUN-m3x99grmKklBtsuRqn2gFdHeNEcluWhYt3M0LNo38912KFYgb_kjSXmW8ALqqVIlav9hHI1k-4hYHJ9dSciEI4iLd3ie8ZP3xWhPMa4wsURebN1pNz87Q88LN_xOHsxT8BHl1yaoUCb3A/s1200/godzilla-minus-one.jpeg.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiF_xbwhZsLj6ssV4nWsTwTP_WatpVkZW-bZ3OjtR1KKWUN-m3x99grmKklBtsuRqn2gFdHeNEcluWhYt3M0LNo38912KFYgb_kjSXmW8ALqqVIlav9hHI1k-4hYHJ9dSciEI4iLd3ie8ZP3xWhPMa4wsURebN1pNz87Q88LN_xOHsxT8BHl1yaoUCb3A/s320/godzilla-minus-one.jpeg.webp" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Metaphor or not, this Godzilla is terrifying in this film.</span></p>Chris McMillanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11984491691201045762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454873002076228341.post-83291588862503208102023-12-12T21:54:00.000-08:002023-12-12T21:54:45.291-08:00It's a Wonderful Knife (2023)<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c9/Its_a_wonderful_knife_poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="375" data-original-width="255" height="375" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c9/Its_a_wonderful_knife_poster.jpg" width="255" /></a></div><p></p><p>If you're going to remake a classic film, you should try to deliver something new, and <b>It's a Wonderful Knife</b> certainly tries. Taking the basic plot from Frank Capra's 1946 Christmas movie, this film adds a slasher into the mix, and the results...</p><p><i>Well now, it's 5 am. This is rather early for you to be writing, Chris.</i></p><p>Oh great, the Ghost of Christmas Past is back. As if this sudden bout of insomnia isn't enough to deal with.</p><p><i>I told you I'd be checking in with you. And I see you're working on your third review, and the month is almost half over. You're behind, as usual.</i></p><p>I thought you Christmas ghosts were suppose to teach people lessons about life, not taunt them.</p><p><i>What's the difference? We taunt people by reminding them of their failings in life, and they learn a lesson.</i></p><p>What? That can't be right.</p><p><i>Just think about it while you're righting this review. Seems quite fitting. Bye!</i></p><p>Oh, this day is starting out great. Insomnia, a visit from that pesky ghost, and I have to start my work week in about six hours. How could things... You know, I'm not going to ask that, I'm just getting to the review.</p><p>The film takes opens on Christmas Eve in the town of Angel Falls, as real estate tycoon Henry Waters (Justin Long: <b>Live Free or Die Hard</b>, <b>Drag Me to Hell</b>, <b>Tusk</b>) is trying to convince the final property owner holding out to sell, so he can develop a luxurious shopping center. The man refuses, and is soon murdered by a figure dressed in white.</p><p>Meanwhile, Winnie Carruthers (Jane Widdop: <b>Yellowjackets</b>) is heading out to a Christmas Eve party with her friend Cara, the granddaughter of the man refusing to sell his property to Waters. To no one's surprise, the killer crashes the party, killing Cara and her boyfriend, then attempting to kill Winnie's brother Jimmy. But Winnie takes him out first and, surprise, the killer is Henry Waters.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsRK-KIbOJVQEdhtZ2bqGRXAZJOxmD4erQpN6Se7H5W8EyDMzzft0KzgB5hh2WQvWBFDwkFjB80Btgsg3xeTsCUiWuZ6ZSHWB5OOpOr9GtWkdqqW-btbvBX859lVQN-SXWjVIdw1Z0af0-C6y35xWfPeppd2nDCdhXXSVH4UR8M0ITmknerh6RyCGUdaM/s1199/its-a-wonderful-knife-header-1.original.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1199" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsRK-KIbOJVQEdhtZ2bqGRXAZJOxmD4erQpN6Se7H5W8EyDMzzft0KzgB5hh2WQvWBFDwkFjB80Btgsg3xeTsCUiWuZ6ZSHWB5OOpOr9GtWkdqqW-btbvBX859lVQN-SXWjVIdw1Z0af0-C6y35xWfPeppd2nDCdhXXSVH4UR8M0ITmknerh6RyCGUdaM/s320/its-a-wonderful-knife-header-1.original.png" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Have to say, the killer's look is iconic. I can't think of another slasher wearing white so well.</span></p><p>The film cuts to a year later, and Winnie, along with Angel Falls, isn't having a great time. Her family is ignoring the events from last year (and I should mention Winnie's father worked for Waters), Henry's brother Buck confronts her, her application to NYU was rejected, and she gets a pink tracksuit as an early Christmas gift, while Jimmy gets a truck.</p><p>Heading off to a party, Winnie runs into Bernie (Jess McLeod: <b>Van Helsing</b> TV series), a social outcast everyone, including Winnie, calls "Weirdo." When asking about her boyfriend, Bernie suggests looking in the backyard, while some other party goers tell her to check out the laundry room. The laundry room was the right answer, as Winnie finds out her boyfriend has been cheating on her for over a year. Confronting Bernie about her misdirection, Bernie replies she was only trying to protect her. Though I'm not sure why. </p><p>This ties into a problem with writer Michael Kennedy's (<b>Freaky</b>) script, so I need to explain now that Winnie and Bernie have no real connection at this point in the story. It makes no sense why Bernie would be so protective of Winnie, until later in the film. But let's get on with the plot.</p><p>Contemplating suicide, Winnie goes out to the waterfront and, while viewing the lights of the aurora (a rare sight for Angel Falls), she wishes she was never born. And wish granted, as she witnesses a man killed by the slasher she didn't kill, now dubbed The Angel.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifYRDKzdfFO6PPLlrC78kxBc68XOLTCi63nE1KaPFJ_aU0E43BXYMx6W03p6r1UcYEtHlnwwQfh7OrOhibJ5maVw6W3HQxYj0fklgBpt7d7UHHQ5IiTNbdt9jlNRUNpFDHgJbybLTmSbVXAfJvhZBVOg-UGFCDAGCsuwLx6s9OFxJBsMq3cHL_3NgrtMA/s4096/its-a-wonderful-knife-7-1699649956719.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1716" data-original-width="4096" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifYRDKzdfFO6PPLlrC78kxBc68XOLTCi63nE1KaPFJ_aU0E43BXYMx6W03p6r1UcYEtHlnwwQfh7OrOhibJ5maVw6W3HQxYj0fklgBpt7d7UHHQ5IiTNbdt9jlNRUNpFDHgJbybLTmSbVXAfJvhZBVOg-UGFCDAGCsuwLx6s9OFxJBsMq3cHL_3NgrtMA/s320/its-a-wonderful-knife-7-1699649956719.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;">Still loving the look.</span></div><p></p><p>Buck is now the sheriff, Henry is the mayor, and her family doesn't recognize her. Even worse, her brother Jimmy, and her aunt's (Katharine Isabelle: <b>Ginger Snaps</b>) partner were killed by The Angel. Winnie heads back to a party at the house she went to last year, only to find everyone smoking crack rather than drinking. She meets with Bernie again, and, at some point, asks her to be her Clarence. Yep, if the title wasn't enough to clue you in, we get this reference.</p><p>Bernie takes Winnie to her house, and we get some insight into Bernie's fractured family. Bernie also questions the timing of Winnie's appearance, as a party goer was killed by The Angel. Fortunately for Winnie, the slasher attacks, Bernie takes her to the movie theater she works at, and they deduce The Angel is killing the children of property owners Henry Waters wants to buy from, causing them to sell out and leave the town.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghkEQ1I-PECSWkKVZdywoilSkxY0IRU1DDvT5APIrQs55BSqSEY0U8Hjhy0SOVFQAtbxUjF8_g6wc5ahTZedj8Ik9m4jP3bg5eZ49kC6YGtBdgyGh7y2PCBgVOT3a8d0y9d-ZOQ9svI9nGX0Cz7z_anJIrQ8HOZLxwV-LoGCm4hSQfZOpaaDHcyOzhNws/s1920/vlcsnap-2023-12-09-12h00m28s805.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1920" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghkEQ1I-PECSWkKVZdywoilSkxY0IRU1DDvT5APIrQs55BSqSEY0U8Hjhy0SOVFQAtbxUjF8_g6wc5ahTZedj8Ik9m4jP3bg5eZ49kC6YGtBdgyGh7y2PCBgVOT3a8d0y9d-ZOQ9svI9nGX0Cz7z_anJIrQ8HOZLxwV-LoGCm4hSQfZOpaaDHcyOzhNws/s320/vlcsnap-2023-12-09-12h00m28s805.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Um, it appears Bernie might be might be a bit of a conspiracy nut. You might want to rethink your choices in friends, Winnie.</span></p><p>Winnie decides to make things right, and, of course, slasher mayhem ensues.</p><p>As I said earlier, if you're going to remake a classic, do something different with the story, and this film does. It's not about the lives Winnie changed, but the lives she saved by killing Henry. And the film reveals that Bernie was contemplating suicide this Christmas, making Winnie the Clarence figure. While the script never develops the idea fully, it's a nice twist.</p><p>Okay, SPOILERS IN THE NEXT SIX PARAGRAPHS.</p><p>Unfortunately, Kennedy's script has some flaws. While I'm fine accepting the aurora somehow grants Winnie her wish of never being born (it does add a deadline for Winnie, as the aurora is fading), Henry's mystical powers to enthrall a crowd of followers needs some explaining. The crowd is obviously enchanted, as their eyes are glowing, and how Henry got such power is never explained. And though the spell is broken, Henry's followers are forgiven for their actions because, well, they were enchanted. The script absolves their complacency, and that's annoying.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiivZB7RpXg4nsJIANyXPUZC3gvWcQQ4ydTVUL4g6kqvzSxhuxsLRPkdF49ojamxyN1XTizMsV_5eJEV2ZnRQ_bvOCEyUDwo0c8aH0CxKwwLG71aidWsBUErU7A5RJZ9f8864RrC1uZ0tu_mZvNxHg_e17Tar6g8Za4LxVk3ZPyidlEBmX6MOaNGRYi7zg/s960/0x0.jpg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="960" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiivZB7RpXg4nsJIANyXPUZC3gvWcQQ4ydTVUL4g6kqvzSxhuxsLRPkdF49ojamxyN1XTizMsV_5eJEV2ZnRQ_bvOCEyUDwo0c8aH0CxKwwLG71aidWsBUErU7A5RJZ9f8864RrC1uZ0tu_mZvNxHg_e17Tar6g8Za4LxVk3ZPyidlEBmX6MOaNGRYi7zg/s320/0x0.jpg.webp" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Hey, I'm a rich businessman, a politician, and I have hypnotic powers. So I should be your favorite mayor.</span></div><p></p><p>My other issue with the script is where I start treading on thin ice. So please, read everything I have to say before posting comments.</p><p>Winnie and Bernie end up as a couple by the end of the film, but the script doesn't give us a reason why this happens. Sure, Winnie is surrounded by gay couples. Her aunt is in a relationship with a woman, and we have a scene of two male jocks kissing at the party in the opening act. And, as they should, no one questions it. </p><p>But Winnie starts the movie with a boyfriend, and nothing suggests she's questioning her sexuality. Okay, she finds out he's cheating on her, but the script never gives us an indication that this would somehow lead to Winnie starting a relationship with a woman. And let's be honest, Bernie is a Manic Pixie Dream Girl, leading me to further wonder why Winnie falls for her. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis8bl1iT3YjGN3su-Ot0_VkoCL94CoLlVoUCNZCkN0aJWVxjTiTza1CnzOqJVI-51efv0ZDEnEW4xqZCFE0P9F1rd8V50UmY1eKNBfwcGHY2luVH99Tmt3mX7zRGAsgoYkZWPM1gCChEhx5BoRO_JAJesncjvhp35pput0Uot6flQl9mrcuHwOpPrqgk8/s1047/ITS-A-WONDERFUL-KNIFE_9-EMBED-2023.jpg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="589" data-original-width="1047" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis8bl1iT3YjGN3su-Ot0_VkoCL94CoLlVoUCNZCkN0aJWVxjTiTza1CnzOqJVI-51efv0ZDEnEW4xqZCFE0P9F1rd8V50UmY1eKNBfwcGHY2luVH99Tmt3mX7zRGAsgoYkZWPM1gCChEhx5BoRO_JAJesncjvhp35pput0Uot6flQl9mrcuHwOpPrqgk8/s320/ITS-A-WONDERFUL-KNIFE_9-EMBED-2023.jpg.webp" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Oh, we are so going to be a couple by the end of this film, because the script says so. No other reason.</span></p><p>Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with the romantic ending. I just wish Kennedy's script had done more to show why it happened. And he does it, in his script for <b>Freaky</b>. If you've seen the film, you know I'm referring to the kiss between Millie, who's trapped in a male serial killer's body, and Booker, who has a crush on her. It's a wonderful moment that the script builds up to in a realistic fashion. But Winnie and Bernie becoming a potential couple isn't as well developed. </p><p>I know such sudden realizations happen (Cassanda Peterson's coming out story is a perfect example). But the script feels as if Kennedy wanted the romance to happen and wrote it in, without developing why it would happen. Again, I'm not saying the two shouldn't have gotten together. But the script makes it feel that Winnie, upon discovering her boyfriend is cheating on her, decides to start dating women, which makes the budding relationship feel cheap. I'd have liked the script to give us some justification for the romance, rather than expecting us just to accept it.</p><p>END OF SPOILERS.</p><p><b>It's a Wonderful Knife</b> is a fine holiday slasher flick. The cast is great, and director Tyler MacIntyre (writer of <b>Five Nights at Freddy's</b> and director of a segment of <b>V/H/S/99</b>) delivers some great moments (the attack at the theater in the final act is really well done). While I think had Kennedy done a bit more work on the script, this could have become a holiday horror classic. Even if it falls short of that goal, it's still a fun little watch if you're looking for some Yuletide fear.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI2RCFhZ5rEw7SiHiHg0eNFJIhzysEOimlqndIz_SPpT_xeHlSrNsn0o_l8p4716R0snnsEHmLXhTVS3ErzvyRVmG23WO2qOjAGuIoF7BFnJP75eSFkEbnlCnziFPKl_WBHC8h6aXMwgIVDP4-khGsDVhHLk8Nu_3BLb72FrNbnfLC1_1358It1A1Cu0Q/s1920/its-a-wonderful-knife-official-trailer-651fcd4465654.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="802" data-original-width="1920" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI2RCFhZ5rEw7SiHiHg0eNFJIhzysEOimlqndIz_SPpT_xeHlSrNsn0o_l8p4716R0snnsEHmLXhTVS3ErzvyRVmG23WO2qOjAGuIoF7BFnJP75eSFkEbnlCnziFPKl_WBHC8h6aXMwgIVDP4-khGsDVhHLk8Nu_3BLb72FrNbnfLC1_1358It1A1Cu0Q/s320/its-a-wonderful-knife-official-trailer-651fcd4465654.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I scream, you scream, we all scream for Yuletide fear.</span></p><p><br /></p>Chris McMillanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11984491691201045762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454873002076228341.post-88499182651106725212023-12-08T22:30:00.000-08:002023-12-08T22:30:38.242-08:00Jack Frost (1997)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8a/Jack_Frost_VideoCover.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="375" data-original-width="265" height="375" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8a/Jack_Frost_VideoCover.png" width="265" /></a></div><p></p><p>Well, The 12 Reviews of Christmas continues with a look at the direct to video slasher camp classic, <b>Jack Frost</b>. Not to be confused with the Michael Keaton comedy that came out a year later, this film...</p><p><i>Really, Chris? You're stooping so low you're reviewing this travesty?</i></p><p>Look, Ghost of Christmas Past, I like this film, despite it being really, well, cheesy as hell. But that's my tastes in film, it's my blog, and I'll review what I want.</p><p><i>Oh, right. Remind me why you want a director's cut of <b>Maximum Overdrive</b> once again.</i></p><p>Because I want to see the footage trimmed to appease the MPAA. What horror fan wouldn't?</p><p><i>And how you enjoy <b>House of the Dead</b>?</i></p><p>Hey, I'm shouldn't have to justify my love of that film. I know it's bad, but it makes me feel like a ten year old, watching something I shouldn't, and that makes me happy. And I've working on my second review of the holiday season, heading for twelve, so leave me alone.</p><p><i>Sure. Just checking in.</i></p><p>As if my day job isn't distract enough, now I have to deal with you. Why don't you bother some billionaire?</p><p><i>Oh, like they'd care about what I have to say. Good luck reaching twelve reviews. See you later.</i> </p><p>Thank Cthulhu they're gone. So, let's get back to <b>Jack Frost</b>.</p><p>It's obvious writer/director Michael Cooney was leaning heavily into camp with this film. And it helps that the cast play their parts straight, despite how silly the script is, which I suspect helped the film developed a bit of a cult status. Add in some nasty kills on a meager budget, and a cool prismatic VHS cover when it went straight to home video, and it's no wonder this film became a hit on home video. <b>Jack Frost</b> isn't high art, but it's silly fun on a very low budget.</p><p>The film opens on a snowy December night, as serial killer Jack Frost (Scott MacDonald) is being transferred to the site of his execution. Passing through the town of Snowmonton, Jack kills his guard as the vehicle crashes into a genetic research tanker truck. Jack is exposed to the chemicals from the tanker and fuses with the snow, allowing him to became a killer snow man, and take vengeance on Sam Tiler (Christopher Allport), the sheriff who arrested him years earlier in Snowmonton.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtxVbIkzqoMtNV6VOMrgl6WTcoS0OvC6OcHRpTkWuuEBFtnU4Irb4KvfLUBAd5ejb0p3H7D7f37RnIjTa9_1x3DfT9Yd0qywLNkYTbc-zy5JHZsGNDw7FYEAYsVmmtjrPf5B33KblnRCi0QiQ13T-mteMdDVkt95G13w1oAY5Ez0GBdeAhLso97uOH7A0/s1300/i9ETP34tzNfNsLD0rJ51y8YPbkj.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="730" data-original-width="1300" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtxVbIkzqoMtNV6VOMrgl6WTcoS0OvC6OcHRpTkWuuEBFtnU4Irb4KvfLUBAd5ejb0p3H7D7f37RnIjTa9_1x3DfT9Yd0qywLNkYTbc-zy5JHZsGNDw7FYEAYsVmmtjrPf5B33KblnRCi0QiQ13T-mteMdDVkt95G13w1oAY5Ez0GBdeAhLso97uOH7A0/s320/i9ETP34tzNfNsLD0rJ51y8YPbkj.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">And in the silliest ways possible.

Sam does his best to confront the killer that promised vengeance upon him and his family, but he has a hard time finding the killer, as the town has a snowman contest, giving Jack perfect cover. </p><p>And so, holiday mayhem ensues.</p><p>Look, this isn't a good film by any stretch of the imagination. But it's great cheesy fun, thanks to the script and the cast. We get some funny moments, such as when the authorities mull over the cause of death of Jack's first victim as a snowman. The scene where Jill (Shannon Elisabeth, in her film debut) and her boyfriend Tommy strip down for some sexy time is pretty funny, as they both shed multiple layers of clothing (reminds me of how we layer clothing in Portland). And again, kudos to the cast for playing their roles as straight as they could. The film wouldn't have worked without their efforts, and they deserve an award for that.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg282p8Je2BwocJ57eKcwKC0fNWcgNruwzOIhgGQBMOF9O-NkZC-hu5QHHYSYG9FnE-vSzTRE9F3nK502hxWw-73H_VXVHYyjjtLmi-4A5o9oE-Bk063EnguukBYXvlRsGnNyTt8GpuUMZ_8jjuZso34HadQYi5V9QBU8cUL4frRYtYZxyEcaUbP_fCUzw/s606/jack-frost-1997.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="335" data-original-width="606" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg282p8Je2BwocJ57eKcwKC0fNWcgNruwzOIhgGQBMOF9O-NkZC-hu5QHHYSYG9FnE-vSzTRE9F3nK502hxWw-73H_VXVHYyjjtLmi-4A5o9oE-Bk063EnguukBYXvlRsGnNyTt8GpuUMZ_8jjuZso34HadQYi5V9QBU8cUL4frRYtYZxyEcaUbP_fCUzw/s320/jack-frost-1997.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Okay, no laughing as you hold the killer snowman at bay with a blowdryer. And, ACTION!</span></p><p>As expected, the snowman effects are laugh inducing, as Jack looks like a fourth rate Muppet. But the kills are pretty nasty, even the ludicrous decapitation by sled moment. And with the actors not winking to the camera, it makes the campiness of the film work. If you can handle some low budget effects and the basic silliness of the plot, this film is a blast. </p><p>But, I have to say, Jill's demise is too nasty for this film. Jack's vanishing nose during her death has some horrid implications, which delves into grindhouse territory and doesn't fit with the tone set up by the rest of the film. While Cooney filmed the scene as tastefully as possible, it's a jarring moment in such a silly film.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCfk5Ibb3eIphq9-FIr0Egclg7ffxRx02b3bxRY99CVbveS0SgR5DbEjFEHSO2uHDplb45w63WFWmIjxK70FFCfvRcDTsvH2dqxi_mrng2r45gcB-iE1gXvdlpEQBu5UxXZBFN-H8KiOfg7f3fnKKkceFDCd7chHPk45GB4gwm2JOdd6LbjKJ0-huU9_Q/s302/Unknown.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="167" data-original-width="302" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCfk5Ibb3eIphq9-FIr0Egclg7ffxRx02b3bxRY99CVbveS0SgR5DbEjFEHSO2uHDplb45w63WFWmIjxK70FFCfvRcDTsvH2dqxi_mrng2r45gcB-iE1gXvdlpEQBu5UxXZBFN-H8KiOfg7f3fnKKkceFDCd7chHPk45GB4gwm2JOdd6LbjKJ0-huU9_Q/s1600/Unknown.jpeg" width="302" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Why does the film have to be remembered for this moment? Oh yeah, naked Shannon Elisabeth.</span></p><p>Of course, the film ends with the possibility of a sequel. I think this would have been better if the film was just a stand-alone feature, but the film did well enough to ensure a second entry. Even as a fan of cheesy low budget horror, I've seen <b>Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman</b>, and it just doesn't work. More on that one later. </p><p>Again, I'm not saying this reaches the level of high art horror. But if you're looking for some goofy, gory fun during the holidays, <b>Jack Frost</b> delivers. Lower your expectations and you will enjoy this slice of cheesy goodness. And that's all you need on a dark and stormy December night.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg-J7INeT_xYhCNr0v0lIIm2TOCyIFNuVpELBBnNnCc4REcB95yzAZs5AFYRTyOipAh7BaPtBx9d5N2ls5T9Calzv6tnx4f-b5kR_9JMER0imfmzzQ3_W0mDDOd-LyP-SdCbpZy10-0jjK0sziPkXkHvraOuPkyHNjKrAHzJSy02qPJYMrVS6L_DQtc9s/s720/vlcsnap-2022-01-07-15h19m07s212.png.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="720" height="178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg-J7INeT_xYhCNr0v0lIIm2TOCyIFNuVpELBBnNnCc4REcB95yzAZs5AFYRTyOipAh7BaPtBx9d5N2ls5T9Calzv6tnx4f-b5kR_9JMER0imfmzzQ3_W0mDDOd-LyP-SdCbpZy10-0jjK0sziPkXkHvraOuPkyHNjKrAHzJSy02qPJYMrVS6L_DQtc9s/s320/vlcsnap-2022-01-07-15h19m07s212.png.webp" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Wrapped around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday!</span></p><p><br /></p>Chris McMillanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11984491691201045762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454873002076228341.post-85074571290856123842023-12-08T21:43:00.000-08:002023-12-08T21:43:22.171-08:00I'm caught up on all the events!

After all, there's plenty of holiday fear to spread, and I'm...<p></p><p><i>Hello, Chris. Can I interrupt for a moment?</i></p><p>Who are you?</p><p><i>The Ghost of Christmas Past. Haven't you promised the 12 Reviews of Christmas before, and came up short?</i></p><p>Yeah, well, that was due to factors beyond my control.</p><p><i>And this season will be different?</i></p><p>Well... Um... Yeah. I hope. Hey, I've got the first one out on December, um, third. It's a start.</p><p><i>Well, you go for it. I'll be cheering you on. And checking up on your progress. No pressure.</i></p><p>Oh great. Now, where was I? Oh yeah, <b>Black X-Mas</b>. A remake of Bob Clark's classic written and directed by Glen Morgan, (who received Clark's blessings on the project), the film was released on December 25, 2006. And while it's definitely not the classic the original was, but it's still pretty fun if you're in the mood for some gory Christmas fun.</p><p>But the film has some problems. The script doesn't give Morgan's cast much to work with, and he commits the same issue most filmmakers who are fans of the original work make with their remakes. And finally, the Weinsteins (to no one's surprise) demanded changes from Morgan, and put out a problematic trailer.</p><p>Before heading there, let's look at the plot. While Morgan delivers a nice twist in the final act, this remake follows the original script. A bunch of sorority sisters are murdered by a killer in their house, they receive a threatening phone call, a family member shows up wondering why her sister is missing, and we even get a red herring boyfriend. </p><p>So far, you'd think such a basic plot would work in the film's favor. But, as I mentioned earlier, the script has some problems. To start, the killer, Billy, is in a high security mental facility at the start of the film, and escapes because a security guard doesn't follow proper procedures or even common sense. Look, I know characters in horror films often have to do something stupid (like split up, go in the basement; the list is endless) to keep the story moving. But it really annoys me that Morgan couldn't figure out a better way to open his film than using this lame troupe. And, given the opening of the original, Morgan might have figured out a way to deliver a fresh take on the killer POV shot.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7wY3fYSoyjJqaRyHo6HFra_6p9OOiDlKnTrISWLs0NtAt5GAv-T95WluMOM2P1NpIQ9cXY08tGGkmSZ8X_7KDE6k_aK7qCSVXpNpZJ-Hnnv0X0SXPzBIbh1-M3eN5sVuTZeYlr9BcVb3g87-WHlHSytVdfu_4nWO756reERY1jKJEuloZWwUcVmILtR0/s1400/C6-2.jpg.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="594" data-original-width="1400" height="136" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7wY3fYSoyjJqaRyHo6HFra_6p9OOiDlKnTrISWLs0NtAt5GAv-T95WluMOM2P1NpIQ9cXY08tGGkmSZ8X_7KDE6k_aK7qCSVXpNpZJ-Hnnv0X0SXPzBIbh1-M3eN5sVuTZeYlr9BcVb3g87-WHlHSytVdfu_4nWO756reERY1jKJEuloZWwUcVmILtR0/s320/C6-2.jpg.webp" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Yeah, maybe I should have called for back up before entering the cell.</span></p><p>Another problem with the script is the main characters. In Clark's film, each of the sisters have their own personalities, developed through their dialogue and actions in the film. Granted, the original takes place over a couple days (the remake takes place in one night), giving a bit more time for character development. But there's a sameness to the sisters in Morgan's script. Had the cast, including Katie Cassidy, Michelle Trachenberg and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, been given more to work with, they could have delivered believable characters, rather than portraying stereotypical, privileged sorority girls. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgyp36MCjKoqmj0t1oDqBAnZFyn1P7J-Go4g0Mzk43-02mTDBN3v30RUdY4W7Qt4_ld4c2R0E_PtJEJzyixoatIpIWvFU5uMTPBN-bJSSz-THMNPhNbyjzoo5OwrI0DQrjYypmVDhyrzHlTlXQ7ABniFRTtGw64KSH0GwFbeET_ywZeGRZ07x1TPkLPg8/s1600/Slasher%20Film%20Rules%20&%20Cliche%20-%20Black%20Christmas%20(2006)%20-%20drunk.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="895" data-original-width="1600" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgyp36MCjKoqmj0t1oDqBAnZFyn1P7J-Go4g0Mzk43-02mTDBN3v30RUdY4W7Qt4_ld4c2R0E_PtJEJzyixoatIpIWvFU5uMTPBN-bJSSz-THMNPhNbyjzoo5OwrI0DQrjYypmVDhyrzHlTlXQ7ABniFRTtGw64KSH0GwFbeET_ywZeGRZ07x1TPkLPg8/s320/Slasher%20Film%20Rules%20&%20Cliche%20-%20Black%20Christmas%20(2006)%20-%20drunk.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">What makes me different from the other girls in this scene? Well, I drink too much, then vomit on the table.</span></p><p>And the film falls into the curse of Fan-Made Remakes. Like Rob Zombie with his version of <b>Halloween</b>, Morgan gives us an extensive back story for the killer, trying to explain what drove Billy to terrorize the sorority. And, oh my, we get the trifecta of murder, abuse and incest, which leads Billy to snap one Christmas, attacking his family before making Christmas cookies from his dead mother's skin.</p><p>Attempting to explain the killer's origins might sound like a good idea, but it comes with a risk. Far too often, such a backstory will also demystify what made the killer so terrifying in the original. The less we know about the killer and their motives, the scarier their presence becomes, because they become a force of unexplainable chaos in an otherwise orderly world. </p><p>Also, extensive backstories risk creating empathy for the killer, as in this film. By the time Billy's story is put on screen, the audience is thinking, "Yeah, I get why he's doing this. Anyone would be driven insane after all that." This ends up justifying the killer's actions and, in effect, making them less terrifying.</p><p>I'm not saying Morgan was wrong for giving Billy a backstory, and some of the details come into play at the end of the film. But we didn't need the extensive scenes of abuse heaped upon Billy. Mrs. Mac (Andrea Martin, who played sorority girl Phyl in the original) could have delved into his story as she explains the tradition of leaving a present for Billy under the Christmas tree, giving the audience all the information needed for the twist ending to work. Also, she could have introduced some ambiguity in the tale ("They say he...."), making it more a campfire (okay, fireplace in this case) tale akin to an urban legend. </p><p>And she could have mentioned how close the facility where Billy in being held. Seriously, Billy walked there in a couple hours, and the cops aren't heading for the house? Okay, the cops are called once the girls figure out they have a killer in the house, but the 911 operator responds by saying the snow is preventing the police from responding. That might fly (barely) in Portland, OR, where no one knows how to drive in the snow. But the film establishes the setting has lots of snow during the holiday season. The cops wouldn't be hampered by icy streets. And this is a sorority house at a college campus, not a cabin in the woods with only one road leading in or out. Even a downed tree or phone line wouldn't keep the authorities from coming, despite how the film makes the house look isolated.</p><p>Okay, sorry for that rant about the snowfall. Let's get back to the main point. Had Morgan used the killer POV in the opening, we wouldn't be wondering how Billy got there. He just did. Sometime, you just don't have to explain things when writing a script, if you set things up right. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDIockbjwH-XYeOhq4eBloJp_xojEmZ9rpWecj-T9l8U5eGJfBK-KsVcYrc1h81gAI13myNpVKF6K4abA_BgYQnMq_KHlxt8UzmC5KzVXeRDVJpa5Q2AOneB9eNo3dQExb-Yjm4xXw7vi4oQmUAuBFYqvptS_NhJtoqqDX-T2qyTLpyZbxmPrDcwIxNco/s736/C5.jpg.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="311" data-original-width="736" height="135" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDIockbjwH-XYeOhq4eBloJp_xojEmZ9rpWecj-T9l8U5eGJfBK-KsVcYrc1h81gAI13myNpVKF6K4abA_BgYQnMq_KHlxt8UzmC5KzVXeRDVJpa5Q2AOneB9eNo3dQExb-Yjm4xXw7vi4oQmUAuBFYqvptS_NhJtoqqDX-T2qyTLpyZbxmPrDcwIxNco/s320/C5.jpg.webp" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Come on. I'm already telling the story of Billy. Give me a few more lines, and let's cut the unnecessary scenes to come.</span></p><p>Adding to the film's issues were the Weinsteins. The brothers had issues with the tone of the film, and Bob Weinstein scrapped Morgan's original ending, a direct homage to Clark's film that works better than excessive, action packed and pretty improbable finale released in theaters. And is much less cliche-ridden, as the Weinstein-mandated ending takes place in a hospital, yet the Final Girl is easily tracked down in her room. Oh, and the door doesn't open properly. You know that's gonna come into play real soon! Oh man, where have horror fans seen this before.</p><p>But the worse thing the Weinsteins did was release this trailer...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3dINJtxVKcM" width="320" youtube-src-id="3dINJtxVKcM"></iframe></div><p>If you've seen the film, you'll notice multiple scenes that aren't in the movie. These weren't shot and discarded at some point in post-production (as happens), but were filmed by the Weinstein's with no intention to add them into the film. The idea was to make the film seem more action-filled than the creepy movie Morgan delivered. </p><p>Morgan claims the Weinsteins contacted him and told they wanted to "pick up some shots for TV spots," and he gave his consent. It doubt that would have been the case, had he know what was going into the trailer. And I'm sure lots of audience members were upset to find the trailer flat out lied about the kills in the film.</p><p>And the backlash that accompanied the film's release on Christmas Day was predictable. As with <b>Silent Night, Deadly Night</b>, Christian groups slammed the film, especially the decision to release it on December 25th. Critics did the same, with columnist Nikki Finke wondered "...just how many disturbed human beings does The Weinstein Company and MGM think actually want to go see a gory movie on December 25?" </p><p>Well, you can count me as one such disturbed humans, Finke. Like many horror fans, I respect the season, but don't mind something dreadful to cut down the saccharine-overdose imposed upon the holiday. Also, such critics forgot that Christmas horror-themed tales go back over a century, the most notable being Charles Dickens short stories like <i>The Story of the Goblins who Stole a Sexton</i> and his novel <i>A Christmas Carol</i>. While not as gruesome as <b>Black Christmas</b>, these tales show that Christmas could be a time for holiday fear, even if the ending of these tales is more uplifting than some modern examples.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhapQ8FXkRG4cPIyXkGk42lG1kf0H9DhB0GhqjzSyH4Do8L9RXbGHdj_drG5PwckJh97DCozRymAeyMzqve6CocHq_7Po1wLcg_KgkL3ZgfC69IRMwwbF8hy0p1mhno2SkcY9wbBahUMR93V_iBS4jS10odsre0mHtr98lTe0K87rMJswXtKe5faeiVDlA/s650/Scrooge+and+Marley.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="650" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhapQ8FXkRG4cPIyXkGk42lG1kf0H9DhB0GhqjzSyH4Do8L9RXbGHdj_drG5PwckJh97DCozRymAeyMzqve6CocHq_7Po1wLcg_KgkL3ZgfC69IRMwwbF8hy0p1mhno2SkcY9wbBahUMR93V_iBS4jS10odsre0mHtr98lTe0K87rMJswXtKe5faeiVDlA/s320/Scrooge+and+Marley.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Yeah, this isn't scary at all.</span></p><p>As for the kills, they are very gory (at least in the Unrated Cut). If you're not a fan of Fulci-level ocular trauma, you might want to cover your eyes during a few scenes (pun intended). And while Trachtenberg's original death (shown on the DVD in the deleted scenes) was pretty graphic, I chuckled when she's killed by a pair of ice skates (her film, <b>Ice Princess</b>, was released in 2005). </p><p><b>Black X-Mas</b> isn't the classic the original film is, nor, I suspect, is it trying to be. Despite the issues with the script, and the studio interference, the film made back over twice its budget during its theatrical run, and is an entertaining addition to the holiday slasher sub-genre. It delivers the gore, is well acted, and has a nice twist at the end. You can't ask for much more on a cold winter night when you just want to watch a fun, splattery holiday horror. </p><p>While the film is available to stream on several sites (both free and subscription-only), the film was only released on DVD in 2007, but no Blu-ray release (except in Germany and Canada). And as the film made the same amount of money on home video as it did in theaters, maybe it's time for a Blu-ray release. Shout Factory, are you reading this review? I'm hoping you are.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFr2pygvll7h7TEW0OBRtBh5a7hcI_ivZPiOdk6vNfGoxEapu5OZShngvc2ZSuuvr44zQ-dP3N-EtP9J7tQjVIYHtkx6wuYfzoQ5t2jCgiEfGVNrdfmrTeoswkLBBLGEn0MNR_IHwpXKi5aLOKSl6krQo18d9NxPcxj4vcZVfFY0Vc8GzCLFU0GgKauvY/s1472/C24-2.jpg.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="617" data-original-width="1472" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFr2pygvll7h7TEW0OBRtBh5a7hcI_ivZPiOdk6vNfGoxEapu5OZShngvc2ZSuuvr44zQ-dP3N-EtP9J7tQjVIYHtkx6wuYfzoQ5t2jCgiEfGVNrdfmrTeoswkLBBLGEn0MNR_IHwpXKi5aLOKSl6krQo18d9NxPcxj4vcZVfFY0Vc8GzCLFU0GgKauvY/s320/C24-2.jpg.webp" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Deck the halls with bowels of Clair.

I only have a few more events on my Facebook Page to add to the Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar (hope to get that done on my weekend), but I know that might not last for long. First off, my schedule at work will be changing for a while in mid-December, and I have no idea how that will affect my time on the site. And, of course, there's always the possibility that even more great events will start flooding my email and Facebook Page.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeLM5bJkHxcUvia_hMYcrB_ObDWNJIbxGFkPpSn9ug3RbgIySH06MCHYrr2UVWkvXxSnmm-BWu3_lpS9n4NNOqPj7kj4E85zyOXkSUbmjU5Kgir3BFTAMBoLPh_OUutH-BeAPsnw4-lcmYFUmHCftFFz59IUz3rRqxgRuySdNaSy5nxTcJlXsnItnbVus/s1200/w1500_402730.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeLM5bJkHxcUvia_hMYcrB_ObDWNJIbxGFkPpSn9ug3RbgIySH06MCHYrr2UVWkvXxSnmm-BWu3_lpS9n4NNOqPj7kj4E85zyOXkSUbmjU5Kgir3BFTAMBoLPh_OUutH-BeAPsnw4-lcmYFUmHCftFFz59IUz3rRqxgRuySdNaSy5nxTcJlXsnItnbVus/s320/w1500_402730.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;">It's like being stalked by a slasher.

Scroll down for details on the return of Godzilla, geeky holiday bazaars and stage productions, great movies and your chance to have a photo taken with Krampus. Check it out! </p><p>As I mentioned earlier, I hope to have the <a href="https://shadowoverportland.blogspot.com/p/horror-calendar.html">Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar</a> up to date early next week. I know I have a couple of haunted holiday attractions to add, but you know there will be more to come, so keep checking back!</p><p>Well, that's all I have this week.
