“Black Santa knows who has been naughty…because they bullied him in the hood 25 years back.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow he has returned for vengeance.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHaving rounded them up in a room, where he has them held hostage…so that he can inflict torture on them…like they did to him- and his little brother- as a kid.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe whole thing is an ultra-low budget, straight to TubiTV, homemade horror.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat takes place in a single, black, room.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhere he has his victims tied up on chairs.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlongside a table full of torture devices.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe only bits that stray from this, are flashbacks pertaining to the backstory of why they are there, and what they did to him.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOr, more accurately, his little brother…who wound up dead as a result of their negligence and actions.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo…itu0026#39;s not great.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s very simply constructed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd the acting is quite poor.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo I fully expected it to be the worst horror movie Iu0026#39;ve watched all year.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThough, while it is certainly among them…I actually didnu0026#39;t mind the story at all.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThatu0026#39;s not to say itu0026#39;s good, by any standard.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJust that itu0026#39;s not enragingly stupid like some of the films have been.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is what it is…a psychopath Santa…who is out for blood.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd doesnu0026#39;t try to be anything else.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e1.5 out of 10.”
