DON'T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS(1984)
In the set: 100 Greatest Cult Classics


Someone's going around offing Santas!! New Scottland
Yard to the rescue! Brittish film that's short on plot
and long on talk! Some nudity! C+

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

This movie is pretty lame, but not unwatchable. The
acting is cheesy and the killing scenes are ultra
cheese, but I did like the killer, his face (mask)
was cool and when he talked to the girl he chained
up his voice was great. It was an interesting concept
but the makers didn't maake it solid enougth, a
lot of loose ends, and holes in the plot. The story
is Somebody with very little Christmas spirit is
killing anyone in a Santa suit one London holiday
season, and Scotland Yard has to stop him before
he makes his exploits an annual tradition. It's
a very cheesy flick, special effects arn't great
but a good watch if you like 80's slashers. - psycho_153
