I thought this rocked. Just a fun throwback to low-budget horror films of the 80s. Shooting on 16mm added an extra grimy grindhouse look and all the neon really popped. If you like this sort of stuff it is definitely worth checking out.

I couldn't stand the 2 main leads for at least the first half of the movie. Their dialogue was just so annoyingly bad. Not sure what their issue was supposed to be. I guess they were on drugs(?). Anyway, the woman was better in the second half once she stopped talking so much.

Re: Christmas Bloody Christmas (2022, D: Begos)
Didn't care for the movie much. I can see the director was going for a throwback feel by using that 80s lighting but the dark lighting mad some scenes hard to see. I want to see the kills. The robot didn't look like a robot for a good chunk of the movie. They made up for it towards the end. I did like the actors and their clerk style movie banter. Overall a bad movie even considering the low budget.
