DVD Reviews of Santa Claus
DVD Review: CLASSIC CRAP
Summary: 5 Stars
By far one one of the best "so bad it's good" movies ever made. I recall this movie as a child - it creeped me out back then in the dark movie theater and it tickles me silly now as an adult. For the lest two years we've played it without sound as background for our Christmas bashes. Always a hit. I can't recommend watching this enough - make sure it's with a bunch of friends and a few bottles of wine.DVD Review: Strange Santa Swats Satan in Spanish!
Summary: 3 Stars
This is not a good film...but it is strangely amusing. Admittedly, I can only assume I find this film interesting and joyfully nostalgic because I saw it during the Christmas season as a child in the late 60's/early 70's (it came around to local theatres annually, along with THE CHRISTMAS THAT ALMOST WASN'T-another gem!) You have to understand the appeal of these K.Gordon Murray-things, or else it's probably best to stay away. I "get it", so I'm one of the lucky ones! Ho Ho HoDVD Review: Creepy holiday fun
Summary: 4 Stars
As a kid, I saw this film every Christmas at kiddie matinees. It was a tradition, even though it's as dizzying an experience as other movies that bent my young brain from "The Wizard of Oz" to "The Birds". As an adult, I'd mostly forgotten the film until the video generation. No company bothered to release this on VHS, but somehow I found a copy in the $3 bins one Christmas. The VHS tape was recorded at the 6-hour speed, tracking errors from start to finish, drop-outs from cheap manufacturing, etc. It actually put my VCR at risk to even play the tape! But that's ancient history, since we've reached the digital age.
I fully expected to buy 5 or 6 copies of this film before finding a satisfactory copy. The only other edition I own is a lo-fi off-the-air treatment on MST3K. This is the first appearance I have found on DVD, so my expectations were very low (due in part to my endless cynicism earned over the years.) The print is not restored -- and frankly, it's doubtful any historian will ever bother to restore this baby -- but it's still very nice considering the origins and what can usually be expected. No extras or anything like that, which is fine. I don't need filler that I will watch once, if that. The more space available on the disc for the movie itself, the higher the bitrate can be expected. The print is spotty in places, but mostly clean, the brightness and contrast look fine, and the color saturation is bold while never resorting to being hot and muddy.
You can read reviews on the film itself all over the web, I'm just letting you know that for an obscure treasure like this, it's a safe purchase. And the film will likely captivate the younger modern kids still.
