5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Evil 1980 -Movie and DVD review, January 27, 2010

Christmas Evil is a Christmas Slasher Horror flick with the common killer Santa story. I think a lot of people think this is a classic and I think it is too. It's not a terrible film. It's watchable. Now I'll talk about this dvd. I recieved the movie in flat cardboard packaging. I was expecting the DVD to be in a regular case. Anyway, I just took the cardboard packing and slipped it into a regular dvd case and I placed the disc inside too. No problem.

The DVD's transfer is acceptable. It's a public domain film, so what do you expect? Anyway, the DVD is good and the movie is good.

Pick it up.

This move is a classic in my opinion. It is a movie in my horror library that I watch every year around christmas and sometimes through out the year. Brandon Maggart is amazing, the music is well-timed and unforgettable.

This is regarded as one of the best Christmas horror movies ever made. That is a pretty bold statement considering how varied peoples tastes are. I think this is a very good character piece that definitely deserves to be viewed at least once. Brandon Maggart's acting goes a long way to help this film, that otherwise might be pretty forgettable. He gives us a character that is selfish and selfless at the same time. A character who garners a lot more sympathy than the people he is killing. I say check it out!
