(2012)
Director: Michael Shershenovich
Writer: Michael Shershenovich
Bloody Christmas follows washed-up 80's action star Rich Tague who has fallen on hard times and, after wrapping a sub-par made-for-TV Christmas movie, finds he's been evicted from his home. Meanwhile, a psychotic priest asks God to show him the way to punish those who have lost sight of the true meaning of Christmas.
Bloody Christmas throws everything at you right up front. It can be a little confusing and it takes a while for the pieces to come together, but once they do it actually turns out to be a pretty decent and original little movie. While it's definitely not a masterpiece by any means, Bloody Christmas manages to be competent and kind of impressive for the director's first film. I would recommend Bloody Christmas to anyone looking for something a little different from their Christmas horror films, as long as they can be patient with a filmmaker who is obviously still fine-tuning his craft. 3 1/2 out of 6 beers.
