(1996)
Director: Massimiliano Cerchi
Writer: Simonetta Mostarda
It's Christmastime in New York and a psycho dressed as Santa Claus is brutally slaughtering his victims and using their body parts to decorate his Christmas tree. The police are baffled and can't seem to catch the killer even as he calls them on the phone to taunt them. An old voodoo priestess who is friends with a actor and his police officer girlfriend believes that some dark magic is at work and that they are all in danger.
Satan Claus has a catchy title and a premise that has potential, but that's all it has. The acting is awful, the audio mixing is terrible, and the lighting guy must have quit since almost every scene is so dark that it's difficult to even make out what's going on. The inept police officers barely advance the plot at all, and the ending is stupid and confusing. As far as Christmas slashers go, this one is pretty forgettable. I'm starting to forget it already. 1 out of 6 beers.
