It is considered an obscure film but has gained a cult following which includes legendary film director John Waters. It was originally released as You Better Watch Out. Though it's lesser known, it predates the horror film Silent Night, Deadly Night, in which a deranged man goes on a murderous rampage decked out in Santa Claus clothing.

Plot:
Christmas Evil is the story of a boy who loves Christmas. He is scarred as a boy when he learns that Santa is not real. Throughout the rest of his life, the toy-maker tries to make the Christmas spirit a reality. He becomes obsessed with the behavior of children and the quality of the toys he makes. When he is met with hypocrisy and cynicism, the resulting snap causes him to go on a yuletide killing spree to complete this dark comedic horror.

Christmas Evil (1980) - kako mi je ovo dobro sjelo. Ne radi se o tipičnom slasheru sa teenegerima i nije baš zabavan na taj način već se radi o dosta ozbiljnom slasheru iako ima nenamjernih humorističnih scena. Baš sam pročitao malo imdb board i vidim da nisam jedini koji se čudi kako film ima tako malu ocjenu iako neću dati ne znam kak veću ocjenu, ali radi se o više nego solidnom slasheru koji je prvih 50-ak minuta psihološka drama da bi se postepeno film pretvarao u horor. Glavni lik odlično okarakteriziran i dobro ga je odglumio. Smiješan je u onim scenama kao deda mraz. Dosta scena su i u njegovog glavi što i ima logike

SpoilerShow

kao recimo kraj kad se čuje da se zabio i poginuo, a on si zamišlja da leti sa tim kombijem i tako završava.

Ubojstva su dobra i uznemirujućuja jer su dosta realna ili oni plesovi sa djecom odmah poslije ubojstva, a nitko ne zna da se radi o ubojici.
