A Christmas Horror Story
Horror anthology, a group of students investigate an abandoned school, Santa fights sweary zombie elves, a family's son has changed, a family are chased by Krampus and William Shatner is on the radio getTing drunk on egg nog.
This isn't bad, however the film keeps jumping back and forth between all the stories which I felt was rather annoying. The santa story was by far the best part and William Shatner was a laugh also.
6/10

December 19th - Do You Like Hitchcock? (2005)

Yes, and i also like this tv movie from Dario Argento that borrows from the master of suspense throughout from Rear Window and Strangers on a Train to Vertigo. It's obviously a homage to Hitchcock and film in general and is lovingly made by Argento (who can't keep from advertising his own output like The Card Player through posters and photos on walls of a local video shop) with good characters and enough exploitative sex and violence to remind the viewer of his seventies heyday and also prove doubters wrong with an efficient and thoroughly enjoyable film in it's own right.

There are a lot on here who like Mother of Tears, myself included.

Giallo is bland but Dracula is an experience.

mother of tears wasn't so bad i quite enjoyed it, Giallo was bad and no words describe how bad Dracula is, its upsetting to think its the same man that gave us suspiria

but as mentioned it is an experience and has to be seen to be believed

Another fan of Mother of Tears here, I dug it out to watch when it was last discussed a few weeks/months back, it’s still sat on my to watch pile

Never seen Giallo, mainly because of all the bad reviews, but strangely enough as bad as Dracula 3D is, I’ve seen it about 4 times now

might give this a watch after back to the future 2, Shatner is always a laugh and doesn't seem to care about setting himself up!

According to the bad reviews then you are a glutton for punishment.

I think it’s more “Surely it isn’t that bad, I must’ve missed something the last time”
