perfectx-71415 Review of Christmas Cruelty!

Christmas Cruelty! (2013)

The Piece Of Christmas Coal You've Been Warned About

[3/10 · 25 December 2021]

It's amazing how unbelievably boring this movie is! This movie could have easily been 30 mins and it would be damn near perfect! But this movie is the definition of stretched out for runtime and it shows, and trust me you'll feel it as well. Almost nothing happens for about an hour of this movie, and the movie is only an hour and 30 mins. Now let me tell you what's good. The films opening is a great! It lets you know the movies not playing around right from the get go. But after those 3 mins are up you won't see Santa come back to do anything significant till the 50 min mark. But when he does come back he'll be delivering all the goods he promised from the start of the film. And man does he deliver! The only problem is everything in between the deliveries we have these long drawn out music video montages with some of the most annoying, spastic editing you've ever seen on film. And honestly this movie seems to be more of a music video than a movie. And the music is pretty good to be honest, but just doesn't flow with the feel of the film for the most part. Just seems to be there just to be there because they didn't know how to increase the runtime of the film. And if that's not bad enough you get to see Santa do mundane things like go to the bathroom, make coffee, eat a sandwich and even buy a chainsaw which is done in the most drawn out way possible, which must be for runtime purposes as well. Like I said when this movie delivers it delivers, but damn is this one boring, over long movie! It feels like an eternity when you watch it. This movie needs a better editor badly. There's definitely an awesome film here somewhere and they completely dropped the ball! Especially because this film doesn't know wether it wants to be a comedy, music video or messed up horror movie. It should have picked the latter and stuck with it because it was the only thing that actually worked and the only reason people will ever watch this film again!
