The devil's son lost a wager to an angel and had to play the good Santa that everyone's familiar with for a 1000 year, but in Santa's Slay, the 1000 years have now gone by and now Santa can be mean again, wreck things and kill people. This is the story, it involves some kids too that's trying to stop him but it's not important.
Ho-ho-ho only 6 days to christmas when writing this and I just saw Santa's Slay, a movie that will bring you in the mood and the spirit of christmas, or maybe not.
This movie has high entertainment value but don't take it too seriously, this is a b-movie just meant to be pure fun. Although it's a b-movie it doesn't look really low budget which often is the case so that was very nice for a change. Also there are a lot of familiar faces throughout the movie.
The greatest thing is that ex wrestling star Bill Goldberg takes on the role as Santa and is truly a mean one. I just realised it sounds like I'm promoting the movie, don't get me wrong as I am not.
Again this can't be taken seriously and if you just go with it, it's actually quite fun at times and even when it's not that fun it's still fast paced and entertaining.
It's fun to see Bill Goldberg walking around in a santa suit and being an a-hole, he's perfect for the part. It's also kinda fun to see a santa acting like this, the total opposite of what he's supposed to (I like to recommend the movie Bad Santa too, it's great).
It's not bad but I can't really say that it's good either, it's just very entertaining and is fun to view if you're bored and feel up for some unserious comedy.
One thing that brings it down a lot though is the music, it has the most shitty songs I've heard in a long time and two times when watching the movie I actually had to press the mute button cuz the music was so bad I actually started to feel nauseous.
Just take it for what it is and nothing more and you'll be fine.
