Tori owns a records store and plans to meet up with a guy on a dating app. But her employee Robbie, who wants to hook up with her, convinces her to go to the bar with him. On the way, they stop at a toy store to give some whiskey to a friend who is planning to entertain her boyfriend there on Christmas Eve. Then Tori and Robbie continue on to the bar.
The toy store has a lifesize robotic Santa. It’s a military grade robot that was converted to Santa and marketed as a way to keep children safe from degenerate local Santas. But there is a problem with the conversion and Santa is now acting on its own and the mission is extermination.
After dispatching the couple in the toy store, Santa walks out on the street and sees Tori and Robbie drive off. He follows them and the carnage starts next door to them. Santa is like a terminator in that it never stops when going after its target.
With dead bodies piling up, the police aren’t happy. But it’s a small town, they all know each other, and they don’t believe Tori killed people. But they also don’t believe her story about a killer Santa.
This is okay, but nothing I’d ever watch again. It’s much better than most of the Christmas horror I watched this month. The characters aren’t that likable so you aren’t invested in rooting for them. The most annoying part is Tori is one of those characters who avoids telling people what is going on. If you’re screaming at someone and they don’t know what you mean, maybe tell them there is a killer behind them. That is something they should understand.
