FORMAT: BLU-RAY (REWATCH)
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
(As posted on August 18th, 2007)
Debbie (Tromeo and Juliet) Rochon stars as a Scream Queen named Raven Quinn who is trying to balance her life as a horror film star with raising her kids and saving her failing marriage. She gets her neighbor (played by Grant Kramer) to babysit her kids while she goes and poses nude, but unfortunately for her, her neighbor is also a psychotic, obsessive fan who not only dresses like the killer from her latest movie, “The Black Claw”, but also dresses up like Santa and murders Scream Queens. (Who are shooting their latest film called “Scream Queen Christmas”.) Kramer uses a three-pronged garden hoe to do most of his killing and gift wraps the bodies of his victims before burying them in the snow.
It’s not really all that great but it has three things going for it that make it worth a look. First Debbie Rochon gives an excellent performance and does a sexy striptease. Second of all it’s a pretty decent Killer Santa movie, one of the best since the original Silent Night, Deadly Night. Third, it was written and directed by John A. Russo the man who co-wrote Night of the Living Dead and that film’s stars Karl Hardman, Marilyn Eastman and Bill Hinzman all appear in small roles. There are also lots of plugs for Scream Queens Magazine too. Too bad it suffers from a poor shot on video cinematography and looks like it had a budget of $1.98.
Rochon and Kramer were also in Russo’s ill-advised Night of the Living Dead: 30th Anniversary Edition in newly filmed scenes.
