Psycho Santa

The kind of people who like psycho Santa movies are not exactly aficionados of great film. They expect slashing bloody scenes, brutalities, bad acting, some ineptness to laugh at. This film actually tries to make an interesting movie with careful set-ups, understated acting that shows some ability of the performers, and the directing knows something about editing together scenes to show suspense. The comments made by people about this movie indicate a decided lack of interest in anything less than puerile. This was a film made by someone with little money, hence videotape, but shows some study of the art of suspense, using techniques employed by Hitchcock. Alas, the director may have chosen a genre in which his audience is not worthy of his efforts. This film can actually be watched by adults with a brain to pass time.
