Critics Consensus

Perhaps it isn't quite as much fun as a movie about a murderous robot Santa ought to be, but for fans of holiday horror, Christmas Bloody Christmas is still a gift.

Christmas Bloody Christmas | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Anton Bitel Little White Lies a young independent woman’s nightmare (of patriarchy) before Christmas. Dec 13, 2022 Full Review Christmas Bloody Christmas | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com This is a gruesome slice of holiday cruelty that knows exactly what it is and doesn’t try to be anything else, and that’s exactly as it should be. Rated: 3/4 Dec 12, 2022 Full Review Christmas Bloody Christmas | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Noel Murray Los Angeles Times The overall vibe here ends up being less “good dirty fun” than “foul-mouthed teenager trying to look cool.” Dec 9, 2022 Full Review Christmas Bloody Christmas | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Hector A. Gonzalez Loud and Clear Reviews While Christmas Bloody Christmas doesn’t come close to reinventing the Holiday horror film subgenre, it does deliver delightful exploitation cinema-like kills and stylistic tendencies. Rated: 3/5 Jan 4, 2024 Full Review Christmas Bloody Christmas | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies I appreciate the attention to horror movie detail and the Terminator-like stamina of the villain. It’s got some warts, but it’s a bonkers Christmas horror movie... in a good way. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 11, 2023 Full Review Christmas Bloody Christmas | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Daniel Kurland Bloody Disgusting Christmas Bloody Christmas is an unabashed holiday treat that knows exactly what it is and what its audience is hoping to get from a “killer robot Santa” horror film.

Chris M It was pretty lame but I wasn’t there to see a movie with a plot. I’m a local from Placerville. I was curious about the local footage. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/21/22 Full Review SHERRY I didn't care for it. It had too much cussing, way too much talking before the action or killing started. I wanted to get my money back after the first 5 minutes. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/18/22 Full Review Cole Thompson A fun Christmas slasher movie that doesn't try to be anything else. I loved every minute! Saw it in theaters and immediately subscribed to Shudder and watching it again!!! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/10/22 Full Review Elvis D Christmas Bloody Christmas es una propuesta bastante descabellada y bizarra que intenta ofrecer algo bastante tradicional del slasher y el cine de serie B. Una historia básica y simplona sin mucho que argumentar con un Santa Claus robótico fuera de control yendo tras una mujer que solo piensa en "portarse mal". Es una idea bastante infantil lo que ofrece, pero no se puede negar que cuenta con buenas escenas de muerte y buenos efectos especiales. Aquí quisieron hacer una especie de mezcla entre Silent Night, Deadly Night y Terminator. El resultado es algo extraño, pero fascinante de ver debido a la violencia de buen calibre. Los personajes obviamente solo están ahí para verlos siendo víctimas del Santa robótico, ya que no son nada empatizables o memorables. Se trata de una película que ofrece entretenimiento sin explicar nada. No se toma la molestia de explicar como el Santa robótico cobra vida así de la nada o por qué comienza a cometer asesinatos. Eso hace que la película no tenga mucho sentido. La secuencia de la perspectiva de Santa cometiendo sus primeros asesinatos es difícil de seguir. Un problema bastante mayoritario con la película es que es demasiada colorida y brillante, haciendo que varias escenas sean difíciles de apreciar o ver con claridad. Al final, Christmas Bloody Christmas no es una película que aporte mucho, pero es una opción entretenida para pasar las fiestas. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 6/10. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Anastasia This movies use of the f word was in every sentance I would rather have watched "the mean one" a second time. I watched the whole thing out of bordum and was very sad I wasted my time on it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/27/23 Full Review Fancy P The first 40 minutes are excruciating. Never have I rooted so hard for every single character in a movie to get the axe. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
