Title may be a play on Sunday Bloody Sunday (which refers to several things).
Whatever, Joe Begos writes, produces and directs Shudder exclusive.
Riley Dandy - Tori
Sam Delich - Robbie
Abraham Benrubi - Santa Claus
A news broadcast reports the US Defense Department has recalled a defective life-size robotic Santa.
On Christmas Eve, record store owner Tori and employee Robbie drink the night away and eventually get very friendly.
In a nearby toy store, Robosanta+ malfunctions, grabs an axe and embarks on a murderous rampage.
Slay ride
After a turgid opening 30 minutes or so, remainder is an absolute blast.
The influence of Chopping Mall and Silent Night, Deadly Night is abundantly clear, but this is unashamedly The Terminator.
Impressive kills are complemented by a striking colour palette and animatronics (created by Josh and Sierra Russell) deserve props.
Just like the T-800, bastard doesn't go down easily.
Excellent climax also smacks of Evil Dead and goes out with a satisfying bang.
If you enjoy disposable trash, unwrap an early present.
