The last twenty minutes or so are fun.
Shot on video with a godawful grainy ‘grindhouse’ filter effect (Quentin Tarantino has a lot to answer for), comedy slasher Secret Santa delivers some fairly decent gore effects, the majority of which occur in the final twenty minutes, meaning that there’s the best part of an hour of ‘character development’ to get through first – not great when most of the characters in question are so tedious, the script lamentably dumb, and the acting unbearable.The worst offender is, without a doubt, Geoff Almond as hopped-up loser Dwayne, who is as irritating as he is bald, but there are plenty of other obnoxious types guaranteed to rankle, including smarmy professor Ramsey (Tony Nash) who is diddling his student Olivia (Nicole Kawalez), promiscuous blonde Carissa (Keegan Chambers), and two-timing Bryan (Brent Baird), who cheated on his girlfriend Nicole (Annette Wozniak), the only likeable character in the whole film (even if she is a web cam model).
Nicole is, not surprisingly, the film’s ‘final girl’, all of her friends bumped off before the end of the film by a masked killer who has been sending them Secret Santa gifts that reveal how they will be killed: a meat cleaver, an electric knife, gardening shears (for a spot of graphic penis pruning!), and a hairdryer (which leads to the funniest moment in the film, when the cable proves too short for the killer to throw it into the victim’s bath). The bloody and well executed gore (head smashed in, decapitations, chainsawed legs) in the final act, and the occasional spot of gratuitous female nudity (although, rather strangely, no boobage), make it just about worth persevering until the end.
4.5/10, rounded down to 4 for the aged/distressed look, which is completely unconvincing and totally unnecessary.
A Gift Worth Opening
Indie horror flicks seem to be getting churned out at such an alarming pace these days that it’s hard to keep up, but I’m glad I caught Secret Santa. It at least attempts a little character development here and there, has a great lead (Annette Wozniak), and has a sense of humor to go along with all the blood and guts. It does do the rather annoying “let’s add dust and scratches to make it look like an old grindhouse print” thing, which makes no sense since the film takes place in modern day and would never be confused for a film of that era, but that’s a small nitpick when there was obviously a good deal of heart and enthusiasm put into this movie. Also, major props for the killer reveal. It’s been a long time since I’ve been that surprised by a slasher movie killer reveal.
