Har netop set i AWE's nyhedsbrev, at de udsender Santa Claus Conquers the Martians! Fantastisk, ha ha!!! Den har tidligere være vist på DR2 som Da julemanden indtog Mars (og, ahm, blev iø anmeldt i SS ved den lejlighed). En trashperle i alt fald i undertegnedes bog! Tomlen op til Jan og AWE!!

Til næste år kan man jo så håbe, de følger op med at udsende den mexikanske Santa Claus fra '59, hvor (ifølge Psychotronic-bogen) ingen ringere end Fanden selv er med!

Det gør der ikke, når JEG går ind (måske det ER mig, ha ha). Jeg har lige prøvet igen, og ingen problemer.

Fedt Lars, tak.
Men jeg har nu været inde på siden en del gange i dag, og i modsætning til hvad TV2 skriver, så har den ikke efterfølgende været ude af drift.
Gad vide hvad de ledte efter de gode brasilianere...
Jul og grønne skove?

[Jack J]

Hey, sou no brasileiro men JEG ville sgu gerne vide, hvornår de udkommer!!

Fedt Lars, tak.

Den var kortvarigt ude af drift, da jeg forsøgte at komme ind efter at have læst om det her.

Det er min favorit julefilm (sammen med Christmas Evil)! Har haft det unikke mexikanske juleeventyr med nogle gange til svigerforælderne i det mørke midt-Jylland, til stor glæde for mig...og ikke for dem.

[Jack J]

Fantastisk!! Jeg troede af een eller anden grund ikke at den var udsendt! Har netop i dette sekund bestilt den fra Amazon for ca 40 kr.!

Så blir det alligevel jul!

Den er jo nærmest legendarisk (godt hjulpet af en *fantastisk* titel. Jeg forsøgte at se den, da TV2 viste den sidste år (?) - må dog indrømme, at jeg slukkede igen. Jeg synes ikke engang, den havde den formildende ubehjælpsomhed som Ed Wood Jr.'s film gerne besidder. Den var bare kedelig. Men måske man skulle give den et nyt forsøg, godt påvirket af brunkager og gløgg?

Huh?? Er det den mexikanske SANTA CLAUS du taler om? Den har TV2, da ikke vist! (vel?).
DR2 har vist SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS og nej, det er ikke en god film. Eller en god julefilm. Eller en god nogetsomhelst. Det er trash og man ska kunne værdsætte trash/bad taste for at se skønheden i den.
Hvis du vil vide, hvad jeg mener, så læs afsnittet "PSYKOTRONISK FILMKULTUR" i min artikel her:

Jeg nåede også kun halvt igennem Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (som jo, kan man anføre som en slags undskyldning, trods alt også er en børnefilm), men båndede den og har ikke helt opgivet at få set anden halvleg endnu.

Uncut har for øvrigt planer om et mini-juletema i december... forudsat at vi får samlet noget review-materiale sammen.

[Dr. Humpp]

SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS har en god trailer, men den er ufattelig røvsyg selvom den kun varer en time. Rene Cardona's SANTA CLAUS er meget mere underholdende.

CHRISTMAS EVIL (1980) kan varmt anbefales, her er mit gamle Lowcut review (på engelsk):


CHRISTMAS EVIL - He'll Sleigh You!

There have been made several X-mas horrorflicks like "Black Christmas" and "Silent Night, Deadly" which combine the sacred holidays and bloodletting in a tasteless package sure to offend the family, hey, that's what exploitation cinema is all about. My fave Santa Claus shocker is a very lowbudget and positively insane feature called "Christmas Evil" (1980. Lewis Jackson) which predates the first two.

Harry (Brandon Maggart, who looks exactly like Andy Kaufman!) is a middle-aged toy factory worker who's totally obsessed with Christmas and Santa Claus, so course December is Harry's favorite month of the year, he even starts his celebration in early November. He decorates his appartment with Christmas items and tries on his Santa suit. At work his co-workers aren't that thrilled with the holidays since it's a toy factory and they have to work overtime. Harry don't understand their dissatisfaction with the most wonderful time of the year. But the kids in his neighborhood are different, they are gleefully looking forward to Christmas and to what presents Santa will bring'em. Harry keeps a book on which kids have been good or naughty during the year, at one point while he spying on'em he notice a kid reading a Penthouse magazine. That kid gets a bad note in the book. Harry is starting to lose what's left of his sanity. We see a flashback to when Harry was kid in 1948. He is watching Santa Claus giving oral sex to his mom which disturbs him greatly.

Harry seeks out the bad kid's home and peeks through the windows but have to hide in the bushes before he can punish the youngster when the kid's mom (Patricia Richardson of the "Home Improvement" sitcom!?!) comes outside. Christmas Eve arrives and so does Harry's vengeance over those who wronged the spirit of X-mas. He puts on his Santa outfit and beard, and drives around in his customized Santa van filled with presents from the toy factory. He hands out presents at a home for sick kids and gleefully shouts "Ho! Ho! Ho!". Afterwards he pulls up in front of a church where a great number of people are gathered and takes out an axe and kills two adults. People are shocked by the carnage and Harry manages to escape in his Santa van. Later he walks around in the streets and is suddently dragged into a drunken Christmas party where people are more than pleased to have a guy dressed up as Santa. Harry plays along and enjoys the party acting like the perfect Santa; dancing, handing out presents and drinking eggnog.

Meanwhile the cops are looking for him but the officers only have the description of a generic Santa to go on. A Santa line-up of five guys in red suits and beards at the police station provides very poor results! Harry is now out putting presents under X-mas trees of good kids, but he sadly has to slit a father's throat and suffocate the mom with a pillow!

Both the cops and parents are now closing in on Harry. They surround him in a lynch mob scene in the shopping district of the town but the kids refuse to believe that Santa is a psychotic murderous thug and protect him against the Santa-hating adults. In the chaos Harry manages to stab more adults and flee in his Santa mobile. The cops are now in high pursuit after the van, and after a frantic car chase Harry drives off a cliff. But instead of crashing to his certain death, Harry's van suddenly takes off into the sky!?! THE END.

Now there's a Christmas tale with a cosmic message! This trashy deranged flick is also known under titles like "You Better Watch Out" & "Terror In Toyland" and I'm sure it brought as much joy and happiness to people's hearts then as it did to me now. Apparently it's also bad taste director John Waters' favorite X-mas movie (from his"Crackpot" book: I wish I had kids. I'd make them watch Christmas Evil every year and if they didn't like it they'd be punished!)

So merry Christmas, I hope you have all been good little rock'n'roll kids in 2004....if not - HO! HO! HO!
