It's ok. It's not quiet a slasher, in the same way TCM and Black Christmas aren't. It's pretty violent from what I remember though, and has a good bit of nudity. It's been a good 20 years since I watched it though.

Same here. I saw it a long, long time ago as a little guy. I remember liking it and thinking it was pretty gory. But like I said it was quite a while ago so I'm not sure if I'd feel the same way now.

Fun fact - though almost everyone knows this: the film was severely protested against by a group of angry parents (mostly women, mothers) who were upset with the idea of a killer santa (although, if I'm not mistaken- there had already been 3 killer santas in film history before this film came along). I think they were successful at pushing the movie out of certain theaters, but it went on to be a cult hit on video.

Yep, it's amazing how ridiculous the soccer moms of America can really get. Someday I'd love to see a group of people protest THEM!.

i hate when people are like that..i mean if you dont want your own kid to watch a certain movie then fine dont let them watch it..but to try and ban a movie is just stupid and pointless..what do you accomplish by doing that???

^^^I totally agree. Plus, it's completely selfish. And that's the real problem I have with most soccer moms and dads------------------they only see the world through their own eyes. What I mean is that they'll go all apeshit crazy over a movie like SNDN, just because they don't want THEIR kid to see it. But like you said T, if they don't want their kids to see it, then don't let them! Just because you don't want your little precious Johhny or Janie watching something, DOESN'T MEAN IT SHOULD BE BANNED FOR EVERYBODY ELSE!!!! Really pisses me off..........................

Actually, it's not that they see the world through their own eyes. It's that they see the world as more for them than anyone else. They think their way is the best, so everyone should conform to that. They want to fight anyone else sharing their world with them. They're incredibly selfish in that way.
But I think that's what's really going on with those people.

^^^I agree. There doesn't seem to be enough tolerance in this country as a whole these days. I have opinions and tastes just like those people do. The only difference is I don't demand that they be made into law. For the most part, that group of society is pretty short-sighted and close-minded. They need to be reminded that this country belongs to everyone, not just people with children.

I think I know why they're like that too. Other than the fact that they're brought up that way and they really are quite spoiled- they're raised to think that they are the best kind of person or that there's no better upbringing than the one they have and the one they're planning for their family (just wait until one of their kids turns out to be gay or brings home a significant other of a different race - their heads'll spin!).
It's that they're used to getting their own way all the time. They were taught to never let anything go, you know- if it's one of their pet causes. Meanwhile, their kids are almost always the ones who turn out to be the most irresponsible (the kind that end up on shows like NeXt and The Bad Girls Club, if you catch my drift) yet still privilaged.

I've had this on VHS (In a nice big box cover) for over a year and have yet to watch it.
I might make it a double-feature with Black Christmas later this month.

Couldn't wait.Ordered it last night. I'm confident that it will be watchable.Sort of off-topic but I really dug Eli Roth's trailer for "Thanksgiving".I also read that he was thinking of a day that wasn't used for a horror film.Since he's Jewish, how about "Eight Evil Nights" or " Dradel Massacre"?

Eli Roth is Jewish? I did not know that.

I guess I wasn't aware of that either. Although the name Roth does sound pretty Jewish I guess. I really dont pay attention to that kind of stuff I guess.

Maybe I am reaching a bit but I'm sure I heard/read it somewhere. Guess you can't really go by names anymore. Even if he isn't, I say bring on the gentile slaughter! You could have an hasidic jew shunned by his flock that goes on a rampage. His weapon could be "that circumcision tool I don't know the term for". "Moyle Massacre Part 7-The Final Cut" See, the possibilities are endless. Get in on this T!
