Once Upon A Time At Christmas (2017)

I said I was going to get around to this one before the end of the list, and here we are. But only by the gap in my teeth.

This movie doesn’t really need much explaining.

A homicidal maniac, Santa Claus, and his equally crazy lady love, Mrs. Claus, reign terror on a small midwestern (?) town in the days leading up to Christmas. Their goal is to achieve the 12 Days of Christmas list in bodies and gore. Hijinks ensue as they are pursued by an alcoholic sheriff and his entirely too bland deputy.

In the end, Santa finds his long-lost daughter and tries to win her over. He fails, Mrs. Claus is captured, and Santa escapes to slay again next year.

There is a sequel. I already listed it. And it's not that bad.

HO-HO-HO!!!
