Ohhhh that’s why people hate this. Take the ick and cynicism of Silent Night, Deadly Night and pump it to Troma levels. The holiday antipathy is not winking; this is your bitter uncle’s hot egg nog breath as he tells off-color jokes to try and piss someone off. I think bad movies are at their worst when they’re slow and boring. Can’t say that about this. I think you’re under the 20 minute mark when the mom drowns the cat in the toilet. Even when it lulls, the dialogue is bonkers and it’s very shrill/loud/obnoxious. Like if Demonic Toys took speed. Drawing swastikas on boobs, lotta incest, the most gratuitous bathtub electrocution committed to film, nazi mullets, etc. It’s a lot. I’m sorry but I kinda like it. It really dances with being too annoying and self-aware but they packed a lotta junk in.
