The story of 'CHRISTMAS SLAY' begins on a wintry Christmas Eve in the picturesque Kentish countryside, the horrific murder of a loving family, and the capture of a Santa Claus obsessed blood thirsty killer. A Christmas approaches the following year, a group of college girlfriends decide to get away from it all and relax and party over the Christmas holiday, they decide to escape to the idyllic Mistletoe Lodge nestled within the beautiful snowy mountains of the Scottish Highlands, what starts off as the perfect festive getaway of fun in the snow and a glass of eggnog or two, suddenly descends into a gruesome bloodbath of terror and a fight for survival.

The Worst Film Ever
Thanks for the memories!
hyped garbage
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Simon Carter (Frank Jakeman) likes to dress as Santa and kill people around Christmas for some unknown reason. He escapes from Moorview Hospital at the same time three young ladies holiday in a remote lodge in Scotland (the part of Scotland where no one has a Scottish accent and the locals have rotting teeth). It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. On the way up we only get to know Emma (Jessica Ann Brownlie) who is greatly being set up as "The Final Girl."The ending has an unforeseeable twist which they could have done without. The acting and soundtrack was bad. Doctor Jones was creepy and why does our killer cut a single strap off a woman and then kill her? Deadly weapons include a candy cane and a blue wax crayon.I imagine this was a spoof on 80's Christmas slasher films, but it wasn't done that well.Guide: F-word. Brief sex, nudity (Natalie Bailey-Trist plus background calendar)
I saw Christmas SLAY as part of a three-film Christmas horror package that Amazon Prime were offering me. I have to say that this film is particularly appalling, a no-budget and amateurish slice of festive slasher madness, and I hope that things can only get better from this point onwards. The story was shot in Kent by a largely inexperienced cast and crew, and boy does that inexperience show.The loose plotting is your usual nonsense about a psychopath who likes dressing up as Santa Claus and going around butchering innocent families. The stuff about him escaping from the asylum is so clichéd and boring that I wonder why they didn't just concentrate on following the main characters at their Highland retreat instead although it's obvious that this film is padded throughout given that there's very little in the way of content.The viewer is forced to follow the inanity of having a bunch of girls (and later, a few dweeby guys) hanging around in a remote lodge, stripping down to their nightwear and chatting for ages and ages. The actresses seem to have been picked for their looks rather than talent because some of them are incredibly wooden, although at least Dani Thompson looks like a proper scream queen. Eventually the psycho Santa shows up and there's some really cheesy gore bits, although they forgot to dub in wound noises so the deaths are oddly silent. It's all very rubbish and laughable and not a film that even the most dedicated of horror fans would want to bother sitting through.
Movies can't get much worse than this. Well, except maybe "Scrapbook". I only signed on here today to counter the good review that was posted on IMDb. That review was obviously written by someone related to the makers of "Christmas Slay". I don't know which thrift store this Santa got his red suit from, but my money's on Goodwill. Lots of those around here. Maybe they have them in Europe, too.I must say, though, that this drawing on the box of a demented Santa looks good. Impressive, even. It had me fooled. If only the producers went through the trouble to make their Santa half as believable, this film would've been worth it. All in all, bad direction, bad sets, bad acting, bad script, bad everything. Save your money and, instead, watch your two dogs playing in the front yard. That's infinitely more entertaining than this nonsense.
I thought Christmas sleigh was a great British film twists and turns love the character Emma she was fantastic especially at the end a great film take your mind off day-to-day life.An obvious spoof 1980s slasher kind of movie that done in very good taste All characters and actors were very good in my opinion I love Father Christmas and again the character Emma they was amazing worked well together great chemistry between these two and added bonus scenery was breath taking . Great film Very much worth a watch well done guysMerry Christmas
