Viewing Notes
Final film for Xmas Ruins The Trash Garage marathon programmed by Jef Burnham. I’ve had this on my watchlist for a long time so it was nice to cross it off. Now I know why it has low ratings; it’s not very good. So exposition heavy and really doesn’t have much action until the end. It’s a slog.
I think there’s a better movie to be made out of this premise. The only tie to Christmas is a character saying “it’s Christmas Day!” Two thirds into the movie. Absolutely zero connection otherwise so I’m not counting it for Advent.
This made me appreciate Dolph’s I COME IN PEACE even more.

I’ve been meaning to watch this at some point for ages. For some reason I had it in my head that this was an Uwe Boll film.
