About
You’ll likely enjoy Santa’s Slay if you want a loud, gory holiday horror-comedy with an over-the-top evil Santa; Not for you if you want a family-friendly Christmas film or dislike dark, violent laughs like Tales from the Darkside: The Movie or Inhuman Resources.
Pros: hilarious horror-comedy; memorable evil Santa; fun holiday chaos | Cons: uneven jokes; underwhelming conclusion; not for kids
