Kevin Mccallistar ain't got nothing on this kid!
I LOVED this movie! You can't help but like the little boy, he's adorable from the moment he hits the screen, and the fact that he openly loves his family so much is a plus. The "killer Santa" was really creepy, it was almost like a little kid in a grown man's body and unfortunately the "kid" had no control over his anger. I loved how hard this kid fought, the theme was obviously about becoming a man as hinted at repeatedly by the music and the shot of his father's boots by the fireplace. Yes, the death of the pup was ugly and I too hate seeing the dog die but it wasn't gratuitous it was a dog who unfortunately died trying to save his human.
Goddamnit. Happy Birthday Christmas.
This movie was really great! It's home alone, Horror edition! With the exception of the doggy getting taken out, overall it was good. Classic Christmas Horror!
