| "It's basically an excuse for a bunch of horny guys to watch a bunch of naked women" - Raven Quinn |
|
|
In order to bang his mom, fat Uncle Joe puts a couple of sleeping pills in 14-year-old Wayne's hot chocolate. Apparently, Wayne has been doing a little experimentation with illegal substances, as he has built up a high tolerance for sleeping pills. Wayne walks in on Mom and Uncle Joe and doesn't like what he sees, so he blows them away. (What is it with Christmas killers and their mother issues?) As Wayne gets older he develops an obsession with his next door neighbor, scream queen Raven Quinn. He decides to help her career by killing her competition ... and help his life by killing her husband.
Let see, it's Christmas time again and a young man whose parents have been killed becomes a psycho killer. Hmmmm. This sounds vaguely familiar. Unfortunately for us, where Silent Night, Deadly Night gave us a rich back story and a well crafted film, this movie gives us a nothing - except some nudity. John A. Russo decided to make a little nudie Christmas video featuring some scream queens - Scream Queens' Naked Christmas. I'm guessing to help publicize his then magazine, "Scream Queens Illustrated". So far, so good. Since he already had this group together, he decided he'd shoot a little additional footage and get two movies for the price of one. So while appearing at a Night of the Living Dead reunion, I'm guessing he grabbed whoever agreed to perform a few lines, and the result was this little pice of cr ... ah, movie. I mentioned Night of the Living Dead, as Bill Hinzman, Karl Hardman, Marilyn Eastman, and a couple of ladies who shot extra scenes for the 30th anniversary edition are all in this movie. Was Kyra Schon too busy for this or did she actually bother to read the "script?" Not that their addition to the cast did anything to save it. Julie Wallace spit out her lines so fast you couldn't quite keep up. I guess she was afraid of forgetting them, so she machine gunned them. Except for Debbie Rochon, the acting is terrible. On a good note, other b-movies actors look great in comparison. I don't know why in the final cut, we're left not knowing what happened to Wayne after killing his mother and uncle. Was in prison or a mental institution? Did he simply run away and never get caught? In fact, we're not immediately told that the weirdo making out with a mannequin head is Wayne. In the DVD Extras section the original opening is available and it shows us Wayne being arrested. I have no idea why this isn't included in the movie, but it definitely should be.
There's really not much of anything to like about this. Good thing it's short as hell. All of the fight scenes are absurd. I couldn't tell if they were trying to fight or fuck. If you're a fan of any of the scream queens, I highly suggest skipping this one and going for Scream Queens' Naked Christmas. Unless you simply must have the split-second glance at Terri Lewandowski's boobs, as she only appears in this version. If you feel a strange esire to be cruel to yourself and just have to view this movie, get LOTS of alcohol. You'll need it! |
