All Through the House (2015)

Overrated

Good movie but grossly overrated

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This Xmas slasher movie starts off with a woman being (very bloodily) butchered in her shower and the carnage carries on throughout, I'm pleased to say. Real throw back to the slashers of the 1980's, it ticks all of the boxes. Hot chicks, lots of blood & graphic deaths, a somewhat predictable but good plot & some dark humour in the mix, though it is by no means a comedy. Acting is reasonable, as are the special effects, given the low budget. I bought the DVD way back last January but it was well worth waiting 11 months to watch it, one of the best Xmas horror movies out there.

Santa needs to take a little r and r - it seems he's a little stressed these days. He's on a killing spree and the only one to stop him is his mama. Beware of the one who dons a festive mask and beheads those with a hedge clipper. Michael Myers would be so proud; after a long day of slaughtering dumb college students what better than to relax sit your fat ass on the couch and indulge in some milk and cookies, eh. Santa?! Santa likes to watch dirty girls take a shower then rip their eyes out of their pretty skulls. Santa likes to kill hot topless lesbians. Santa likes to throw your Grandma off a cliff. It's time to light a fire and seal your chimney, Santa is pis*ed and it doesn't matter if you've been naughty or nice.

Just in time for Halloween comes this slasher throwback about a man wearing a Krampus costume doling out death with a pair of hedge shears. This one follows all the rules of slasherness in a campy manor from the breasts to the surreal characters to the cheesy squirting blood. A no brainer Friday night flick for sure and it keeps you laughing.The killer liked to shear off penises (the cat gets at one of them) and I thought maybe the writer is telling us something but later you see that he literally has a bag of dicks. The end tells me a sequel is coming. There now is a new film the whole family can enjoy on Christmas Eve.

If you aren't into 80's slasher movies and all the fixings that made them so great... then this movie isn't for you. It's also not 'Silence of the Lambs'. It is however, a well made, above average, indie slasher made for pure entertainment. This IS a total homage film (and there's nothing wrong with that). This IS a gory film. This IS a T&A film. This movie celebrates what made many of the early slasher films so much fun. while also delivering a story that isn't spelled out for you. There is an actual mystery to this story and great technical work combining to make this movie a whole heck of a lot of fun to watch. The SFX are GREAT. and there are many. The killer is iconic with a brutal backstory. The final girl earns that title. At the end of the day, I love what this film did, I got it, and I want more.
