Santa's Slay

A thousand years ago, an angel challenged the devil's son to a curling match. Since Satan's son Santa Claus, lost, he was forced to be nice and give joy for the next ten centuries. With his time up, Santa (Bill Goldberg. Yes, the wrestler Bill Goldberg.) is released from his duties and goes on a killing spree, spreading holiday fear.
Seriously, that's the plot.
Santa's Slay definitely falls into the horror-comedy genre. It is full of ridiculous deaths, nudity, foul-mouthed elderly and all the laughs you could ever want or need.
The opening scene is James Caan, Chris Kattan, Rebecca Gayheart, Fran Drescher, and others at Christmas dinner. Santa bursts through the chimney, and the rest of the scene becomes a bloodbath of the most famous people in the movie.
The rest of the movie follows Nicholas Yuleson - yes, that is the character's name - and his girlfriend, Mary (Emilie de Raven, aka Claire from "Lost") as the try to survive the rest of Christmas day. Nicholas, played by Douglas Smith (I haven't heard from him, either) is possibly the worst actor I have ever seen, maybe even worse than Silent Night. You just want him to die just so you don't have to watch him anymore. Getting back to the movie...
Nicholas's Grandpa, with the character name of Grandpa, is the angel that sent Santa to his thousand-year curse, and has been preparing for the night Santa goes crazy. (Insert Weird Al song here)
Only 78 minutes long, this holiday movie is perfect to watch if you're looking for a break between crying during "A Wonderful Life" and before you get hammered with your family. It is a hilariously craptastic film, and is definitely worth a watch. Exploding presents, a police captain named Cauk (pronounced cock), and the hot girl from "Lost" await.
