O’Hellige Jul! or Christmas Cruelty! is brainspawn by Magne Steinsvoll and Per-Ingvar Tomren who co-directed and also starred in this movie, which is in fact a product of couple of friends who decided to make the movie and present it as Norwegian horror movie in a country whose horror scene is not so big, rather small but they provided couple of really exceptional horror movies like Skjult, Rovdyr or legendary Lake of the dead. This is trash gore fantasy in its totality and almost childish made. It is about serial killer called Serial Santa (played by Tormod Lien), who rapes a mother and kills a baby with a saw in the beginning of the movie, later on he goes on rampage on couple of unsuspecting hard rockers, friends who celebrate and are getting drunk. Now, this movie is totally trashy magnificent little jewel only for die hard horror fans, made by horror fans. Killer has no particular reason for killing except flashbacks of his sexual and murder fantasies. Gore and murder scenes are tongue in cheek but enough gory to make your inner bloodhound howl with delight. This movie has neither head nor tails so do not suspect any coherency or something sensible or smart, this is pure trash inspired by christmas spirit hehe. Killer looks good in his mask, I must admit that, but if you are into christmas slashers, rather go watch Black Christmas, or Silent Night, Deadly Night. This one could easily play at Varaždin Trash film festival and be well received there.

Because I am a horror movie maniac I give 4/10.
