Christmas Bloody Gore
...And as night fell on the city, the ageing informals crawled out of their wombs, drinking and bingeing furiously, listening to vinyls, and eating wheels. The lights of phosphorus flickered in the darkness, and the screeching of vinyl rumbled with rock and roll anthems, all because the employees of the paraphernalia store had closed their shift, and were now celebrating their own boring Christmas. However, a good spirit has descended upon them through a bug of genetic engineering, meet two feet tall, dressed in his best costume, and ready to spread joy and cheer. A techno nightmare, the toy store killer Santa! Who said Christmas has lost its scarlet flavor?
Joe Bagos is a lover of old-school, metal, marijuana, and the era of the past, Joe builds his concepts on nostalgia, adapting films into the present with a dash of thrash and total bloody hilarity. In this film, Joe touched on the theme of Christmas, in its own memetic way in the states. He took the best ghost stories, (Black Christmas, Silent night-Deadly night), and upgraded it, introduced the creature in the best tradition of bygone 80/90 - killer robot, and as an accompanying entourage, and here he did not invent a wheel, added his environment-geek informals, fans trayadelic, and enthusiastic 30+ movie. There you go.
You could say that Bagos' Christmas Night Survival shot a head above his previous film. For where there is room for commerce in a director comes 'stagnation', and Christmas Bloody Christmas Joe was sculpting for himself and friends, so the film came out very sincere, as if in one of his creative fantasies Bagos had implemented everything he wanted and then transferred it to the screen. Blood and violence, film dialogues, discussions of the music genre that only 'his own' could understand, and of course a rock 'n' roll, acid metal basement style entourage. Bagos has cleverly saturated his brainchild with atmospheric detailing, and he's riding it out. So his portrayal of the murderer-Claus will suit all horror-independent film enthusiasts just fine. Stay true.
