Don't Open Till Christmas

“The gift of terror just won't wait!”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 56, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
Somebody is murdering people dressed as Father Christmas around London, making seasonal employment unusually hazardous. The sleazy detours and uneven investigation provide grimy rental-shelf fascination, although the disjointed story is more exhausting than the killer's busy schedule.
