I had this on vhs as a kid. No, I don't know why. It's really creepy, sure, but it's also really boring and annoying as all hell. Made for a good MST3K though.

Wow, this wasn't boering at least, it was just freakin weird. And when Santa was looking at all his little helpers country by country, to me, it looked like Santa was in pedophile heaven. He looked disturbed. This isn't something I would let my kids watch, that is for sure. But the devil and Merlin the magician, all I have to say is WTF!?! Definitley different, but not in a good way.

Because I have a soft spot for hilariously bad old movies, I wanted to genuinely like this one. But the truth is that it's about as Christmasy as a bad acid trip. If the blown out colors don't make you ralph, then the film's apathetic and bizarre attempts to be heartwarming will. You see, a devil is after Santa Claus, and if you can't find cinematic delight at Santa's ability to foil diabolical hijinx and get stuck in trees, well, this film isn't for you. It sure wasn't for me! Yay MST3K.

That's Pitch with a capital B, I guess...you're definitely gonna need Mike & the Bots to get you through this one.

Mexico, congratulations, you've finally proven that someone CAN outcrazy the Japanese. I've been waiting for someone to do it, but you did it with STYLE with Space Santa, his mechanical, insanely creepy reindeer, and a devil who I swear is named "Bitch". Well done, Mexico, well freakin' done. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to send everyone in your country coal every Christmas until someone apologizes for this mess.

Honestly I gave this one a high score mostly due to the unique mythology in this movie, I kind of want to see more stories like this where they have a different take on the Santa Claus stuff. That and the episode of mst3k that featured this was as usual funny as hell!

Another MST3K movie. This movie is so incredibly odd and creepy the writer should have gotten some sort of medal shortly before being punched in the gonads.

This isn't "so bad it's good," it is "unintentionally hilarious and great" I laughed more watching this than most other Christmas movies I've watched. It did drag noticeably in more than a handful of segments.

You have to give this movie a break, because it's a Christmas movie for kids. Buuut as far as good Christmas movies go, it still sucks.

With MST3K it's a more enjoyable tradition than that Jimmy Stewart one that gets crammed down our throats

Ambitious, Eclectic and Striking. [MST3k I hadn't watched in ages, so it still had some surprises compared to Conquers the Martians. The riffing is top notch but the skits aren't nearly as good. Still, a seasonal must.]
