SashaDarko This is a very different Christmas movie, especially for its time. While presented as a slasher, it's really more a psychological drama which shows main character's fall into madness (including the episode from his childhood which started it). He's a pretty moronic character as a person, but he's pretty much real and feels like based on a real person, definitely not your typical movie cliche. He's very obsessed with Christmas (even sleeps in a Santa costume), and he has specific moral values which he wants everybody to follow, for that he has a book of "naughty and nice" boys and girls (he literally spies on children in the neighborhood to find out what are they doing). And while he's very angry about people making out and seeking for pornography, there's an episode where he watches his brother doing it and it doesn't look like he's disgusted, quite on the contrary. On one day he just looses it and becomes "Santa", drives and his van delivering presents to children, but also kills some specific people he doesn't like.The movie is quite memorable and full of Holiday cheer and atmosphere, despite the story. The ending is very surprising and I glad they did it that way, you'd never expect something like this (the cinema magic as it is).

Pumpkin_Man Over the years, I thought this movie was just okay. During Christmas 2016, I started buying up new Christmas horror movies such as Secret Santa, All Through the House, Cannibal Claus, and Jack Frost on blu-ray. I decided to buy this on Blu-Ray too. I gotta say, it's really starting to grow on me after seeing it clearer and crisper. The story is interesting about a creepy guy named Harry Stadling who works at a toy company and obsessed with Christmas, and even spies on children to see if they're being naughty or nice and writes about them in a book. Harry really is an interesting character. He tries to become Santa. He dresses like him all year long. This year, he puts on a Santa suit, complete with glued on whiskers and goes around delivering toys from his company (Jolly Dreams Toy Factory) to needy children at the local orphanage. One minute he's happy and jolly, partying with people, then the next he's slaughtering people at church. Brandon Maggart who plays Harry did his job well. Harry is a true psychopath. You never know what he'll do next. It's almost as good as Silent Night, Deadly Night. If you want a good creepy Christmas horror classic, you'll love Christmas EVIL!!!

victorseay Okay, "Christmas Evil" aka "You Better Watch Out" (which IMO is a better title) is a film I approached expecting something "slasher" in nature. It is not. I would probably describe it as a movie about a man who is losing his mind due to an obsession with Santa and Christmas. And we get to witness this firsthand. This does not make it a bad film. I actually liked it somewhat. The lead character is pathetic. He is a man who was traumatized as a child when he found out that Santa Claus was make believe. As an adult, he is seen living in a kind of Christmas Fantasy world at home and trying to influence others around him to be kinder,etc.He is played by veteran character actor Brandon Maggart who is excellent in the role. You will see a number of familiar faces in this one too. It seems a bit TV movie like and I think this makes it even more interesting. NOT a horror film but a look at a man basically losing his marbles to a Christmas song.

dworldeater You Better Watch Out (aka Christmas Evil) is much more of a black comic character study than a slasher film. It centers on a man named Harry, who has a serious Santa fetish and works at the local toy factory . Harry dresses up like Santa and finds out who's naughty or nice . Very creepy and brilliantly darkly hilarious . This flick takes Santa back closer to the old mythology. He's totally down with the good folks. If you are a bad kid, he will bring you something horrible . If you mess with Santa, you get taken out.You Better Watch Out is the perfect cinematic experience if you have seen to many bad Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel. Great holiday horror film.
