This is starting off crazy
Nell, Simon, and their son Art are ready to welcome friends and family for what promises to be a perfect Christmas gathering. Perfect except for one thing: everyone is going to die.

25 Days of Christmas Horror
Day Five: Stalled
Stalled offers an inventive premise (that was most likely predicated by the minimal amount of money the producers had to work with) of two people stuck in a ladies washroom during an office Christmas party right as the zombie apocalypse starts. There are lots of laughs to be mined from this comedy-horror premise and Stalled does a good job of mining almost all of them.
Sadly the setting, as inventive as it was, eventually started to fall apart because of the limitations of filming a movie like this in such a minimal location.
Stalled is an example of getting the most out of a shoestring budget while also being a really enjoyable addition to the zombie genre despite some of the more glaring flaws in its execution.
I give 'Stalled' 2.5 out of 4 Gun Totin' Santa Loomis'

So Leatherface is about 80 years old in this movie, right?
He's gonna be like Clint Eastwood in Cry Macho.

Day Six: Anna & The Apocalypse
A demented and delightful mix of zombie horror with a musical comedy that really shouldn't work but somehow ends up working really well. The cast are all likable and while the musical numbers are hit-and-miss none of them are really all that bad either.
The film gets a little messy at points just because of how hard the film is trying to be all things to all audiences but as a whole I felt it was successful (even though your mileage on how successful might vary based on how you feel about musicals) and I liked it a lot.

Best parts were when it leaned into the comedic aspects. They tried to do the Shaun of the Dead thing with added drama and serious moments that never quite hit for me. But the first half had a lot of gold.
I agree that they had trouble managing the tonal shifts and some of the more serious stuff didn't land for me as well as the comedy.
I’m about to give out my first Negs ever in this thread starting in 2022. I can feel it.So Leatherface is about 80 years old in this movie, right?
He's gonna be like Clint Eastwood in Cry Macho.
Michael Myers, Jason, Freddy, Victor Crawley have been 50 years old for the past 25 years. But Leatherface is where you draw the line.So Leatherface is about 80 years old in this movie, right?
He's gonna be like Clint Eastwood in Cry Macho.
Chucky is hanging out with junior high school students in 2021 and told a 7 year old that he was going to kill her parents, but you suspend belief at the TCM franchise.
JigSaw died from cancer, spawned into 50 sequels and reincarnated into 8 films but Leatherface has a maximum age requirement to you.So Leatherface is about 80 years old in this movie, right?
He's gonna be like Clint Eastwood in Cry Macho.

The Chucky series managing to tie-in all the best characters from the movies has been a pleasant surprise...everyone having madd fun with this ish.
For this holiday, I’ve decided to do a theme of 25 days of @Jello Biafra hating Leatherface, Texas Chainsaw Massacre in the spirit of the upcoming Reboot. I will be watching any movie TCM/Learherface Related and posting about it in some form or fashion.
The 25 Days of Dismissing Jello’s TCM’s Disses= The Dissmas Holiday.
Day 1 -Recounting Mr. Biafras past Hate Posts

"Alvarez also dropped the exclusive bomb that the movie is apparently set many years after the events of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, with Leatherface now a much older man."
So does that mean Alvarez will have to film a montage of Leatherface going on a diet and workout regimen to deal with his obesity, hypertension and diabeetus? Because otherwise an old Leatherface should be missing a foot and have a heart condition.
I’m on the start of episode 3, I’m hooked at this point. After seeing what Chucky did to the Maid with the dishwasher. I was like - Let me reevaluate not giving this series a watch. That kill was crazy. My dishwasher has a flat front loading flatware utensil compartment and separate knife unit for that very reason. I saw a babyproofing video a long time ago where a little kid was running into the kitchen and almost impaled himself on a knife sticking out, as his mom was loading the dishes. Ever since then I load all utensils sharp edge down.

That dishwasher kill was flames!!! There are a couple of other real gems and you can tell they started having more and more fun as they got comfortable and started coming up with ways to keep Chucky threatening. There's something clever across pretty much every damned episode. It's better than I'd expected.
