Christmas Evil AKA You Better Watch Out
\
Continuing my Christmas Horror Movie Marathon. This movie is really hokey and strange but it works for it and like Silent Night, Deadly Night it was what i was expecting. One thing this movie has going for it is that the performance by Brandon Maggart, who plays Harry, is really good. It may not be the most realistic descent into madness but the way it's done and the way he portrays it with his mannerisms and the insanity in his face and eyes you really could believe that he was someone who would snap and go on a killing spree dressed as Santa Claus. Add in the scary music and the uncomfortable, awkward ways he did things and the things he said and this movie was generally creepy at times. I still think Silent Night, Deadly Night is more fun but this is definitely the better movie. It's not a perfect movie and Maggart's performance isnt Oscar worthy despite the praise i gave but it was perfect for the movie and exactly how it should have been.
