Just rewatched Christmas Evil (aka You Better Watch Out) because it is ALWAYS the season for listening to commentary tracks with John Waters.

A ★½ review of Christmas Evil (1980)

Nasty Christmas everyone! This is not a favorite by any means. It was just a couple of years ago that I watched it for the first time at a "Bad Movie Night" with a friend which kind of colored the viewing. It wasn't... bad enough to be fun but it is also too boring to be good. We spend a little bit too much time with our main character who have nobody to talk to. It sort of feels like watching somebody with as Santa-fetish but having nobody to share it with. But today's viewing was a treat as I

So, after #ChristmasEvil, #RareExports was a bit of a let down. It’s a good film, well made, strong premise. Maybe just a bad pairing, but maybe I’ve also reached the point where I like a genuinely character driven story that much more, even if it’s a low budget B movie.

Okay. #ChristmasEvil just shot toward the top of my Christmas horror list. That ending is worth it, by itself, but I do love the vintage New York of it all too. Brandon Maggart was weirdly charismatic too? Weird little gem.

This scene with Harry standing with the kids around him, is genuinely suspenseful. I was actually worried for a second. This finale is BONKERS though. HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE? How am I this invested in this ending? It’s the magic of #ChristmasEvil

Points for authenticity, WPIX always used to show March Of The Wooden Soldiers around Christmas. I watched it many a year growing up. Haven’t seen it in a long time. I wonder if it holds up. Harry’s about to play his tune? Bad for someone, I’m sure #ChristmasEvil

There are a number of actors in bit parts in this film who’d go on to be recognizable. Wild to me how many of these low budget slashers were being filmed guerilla style around NYC back then too. #ChristmasEvil

Harry is without doubt the best murder Santa of all the murder Santa’s though. My man is just trying to do the right thing even though he’s off his nut. I can’t be Mac that put the axe to these proto yuppies. #ChristmasEvil

I watched the first 30 minutes or so of this last night, and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen this before. I would have bet I did, but it does not seem familiar. There’s a Maniac meets Santa Claus kinda vibe here. #ChristmasEvil
