Santa's Slay Reviews: It's Not "It's A Wonderful Life"!  2008-01-09 - I only recently had an opportunity to see this rather odd little Christmas film for the first time and I have to admit that despite being a great fan of traditional Christmas stories along the lines of "Miracle on 34th Street", and "White Christmas", I did greatly enjoy this "different", take on dear old Santa Claus. From the ferocious looking cover on the DVD it certainly didn't appear a terribly promising cinematic experience however I found myself feeling equal parts fear, laughter and amazement at what unfolded. Wrestler Bill Goldberg surprisingly makes an inspired casting choice as Old St. Nick as we certainly have never seen him before and his mean looking face, huge bulky body and deep sinister voice really made the character a memorable one. For a low budget production "Santa's Slay", actually manages to have a polished expensive look to it and some of the special effects were actually very well done considering. Turning just about every well loved Christmas tradition on its head the most memorable visual for me in "Santa's Slay", in among the excessive violence and grisly deaths, is the impressive "slay' driven by Santa which is a sinister looking vehicle led not by Reindeer but by a rather menacing Buffalo with big horns that somehow is a most suitable companion for this very angry Santa who would never be mistaken for Edmund Gwenn's "Kris Kringle".
Gratuitous Violence - Just What We Need At Christmas Time!  2008-01-05 - I cannot believe that this movie was actually made. The plot goes something like this: Santa isn't really the nice, jolly fellow we all know and love. He's really the son of Satan. The only reason that he's been acting so nice all of these years is because he lost a bet to an angel 1000 years ago, requiring him to be the person we all know and love for the next 1000 years. However, the 1000 years is now up and Santa has a lot of evil to catch up with. The only thing that can stop Santa are two teenagers and the grandfather of one of the teenagers. Sound like fun? It is.
The whole premise of this film is just an excuse for 80 minutes of gratuitous violence involving Santa (who is played by wrestler, Bill Goldburg). Come on, admit it, haven't you ever wanted to see Santa walk into a bar and kill everyone in sight, just for the hell of it? This film is not "Citizen Kane", but it does achieve what it set out to do, which is to make an enjoyable Christmas horror/action film and it achieves it very, very well. This is why I have given it five stars. Don't be put off by the cover. This is the film you should be watching when you realize that you can't possibly face another viewing of "It's a Wonderful Life".
Santa's Slay Is Good  2007-12-28 - A very funny and enjoyable Christmas flick. Goldberg does an excellent job at being a hilarious killer santa, worth the buy for the Christmas season alone. The deaths are very cool and the film itself isn't too bad either.
If you like this one i would recommend you get "Silent Night, Deadly Night" it is the best killer santa flick ever made.
Buy This!
Ho ho ho  2007-12-27 - Bill Goldberg is Santa. Goldberg is Jewish and now he is Santa, what an oxy-moron. I should also note that Goldberg hated comedy. He didnt like it in wrestling and hated how WWE portrayed him because they used comedy. A year after leaving WWE, he makes this yuletide log. It says that Brett Ratner directed this film but I cant tell if its the Ratner who made big Hollywood movies or a guy with the same name. I checked The Internet Movie Database but it gave little info about the movie. It starts off by killing some C list celebritys and then ensues a funny moment with a old woman in a deli. The movie has some great moments and is a very short movie. I enjoyed it and will probably watch it every Christmas till I die. Highly entertaining for fans you love crappy horror movies.
Love this movie!  2007-12-11 - Great made for tv type movie! Funny and scary at the same time! Loved it! :)
