A murderer is running loose through the streets of London, hunting down men dressed as Santa and killing them all in different, and extremely violent, fashions.
Inspector Harris has decided to take on the unenviable task of tracking down the psychopath, but he's going to have his work cut out for him.
Only the suspicious reporter, Giles, seems to offer the Inspector any promising leads......
Well this film is an oddity to come from the UK. A slasher movie that would sit at home comfortably with the more iconic slasher films of the eighties. And what makes it work, is the dingy feel that the film has, and makes London look bedraggled and worn throughout. A long way away from films like The Long Good Friday.
It's cheaply made, funny for all the wrong reasons, and the payoff at the end is pretty hilarious.
But this film is stuck in 1984, but it looks like it was filmed in the late seventies.
Characters are your atypical fare from the golden age of sexism, and the killers motives are over the top, but sound.
If you are into Christmas based horror films, this a fun entry to the genre.
Everyone else will hate it though.....
