DON’T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS (1985)
Category: Christmas Horror/ Gore/ Disturbing images/
Contains: Bad Music/ Gore/ Bad Taste/ Cheesy/ English People
Rated R
Storyline:
It’s near Christmas and Santa is getting killed. No Santa is safe near the New Scotland Yard in England.
Killing Santa seems to be the HIT of this winter; Drunken Santa, Pervert Santa, Circus Santa and Mall Santa is all included in this killer’s “hit list.”
Review:
BAD!
BAD!
BAD!
It’s this type of so called “horror” movie that makes the whole genre a shame. I am big horror fan and
An actor myself. But, this is so many cheesy killings and a whole lots of unnecessary nudity that it makes this film one of the most “cheesy” and one of “those” 80s bad horror films.
I really like off beat title, because it’s usually fascinating or I hoped it would be. But this one, it’s bad.
The acting in this film is alright, not bad, just mediocre.
I usually like weird endings, but this one has to be the most shocking, strange ending I have ever seen. At the end of the movie, the killer’s identity is revealed. He is the brother of the detective who was on the case. The killer have escaped from the insane asylum and have been killing Santas. No where in the movie is there mention of why he committed these murders. And in no where in this film did they mention how he escaped and why no one in the asylum have discover that one of their patient is gone and now committing gruesome and worthless murders. On Christmas day, which is the last scene of the film. The detective (killer’s brother) opened up a present sent by his brother. It is a music box playing somewhat angelic tune. Then all of a suddenly it exploded; a mini explosion .I am pretty sure that the detective is alright.
Also, towards the end the killer is killed by a “peep booth call girl” by accident. He fell to his ultimate death. Then the “peep booth call girl” ran down and when she walked near the killer’s body. The killer woke up and tries to strangle her. Then this flash back memory blur filled in. It shows the detective (assuming that little boy is him) as a kid and he saw a Santa doing a girl in the upstairs bedroom. Assuming that the Santa is his father; then his mother comes up the stairs and sees (assuming is her husband) the Santa doing a girl. She looked shocked then is pushed down the stairs by Santa.
I guess that scarred the poor boy; but what does that have to do with his insane brother who IS doing the killings?
We might NEVER find out.
None out of Five Stars
Rated B for bad bad bad.
