There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

It seems unbelievable now, but when this low-budget slasher movie was released, it became a national flash point thanks to its depiction of a Santa-garbed killer. The film was whispered about in dark tones: had permissiveness gone far enough? Does the First Amendment protect this kind of thing? Meanwhile, it’s a hilariously ramshackle and very amusing piece of work. Maybe you’ll be scared. Maybe you’ll be shocked. You’ll definitely laugh a lot. In 35mm.
