This year we decided to do something very different and for the first time also chose to talk about a movie slightly outside of our usual place. Deadly Games: Dial Code Santa Claus is a French movie, but one clearly inspired by Hollywood trends of the time, most notably b-movie Cannon style exploitation horror and action. It has a different take on the, by now, rather played out "Killer Santa" trope featuring many dualities between adulthood and childhood and what it means to grow up. What is fascinating is that it does all of this without remembering to entertain first, making it truly feel like the sort of film Cannon Cruisers would normally cover regardless.
Check out today's very special episode and you might understand why we chose to cover it. Deadly Games: Dial Code Santa Claus is of a surprising quality you might not expect from the title. It doesn't get more recommended by us than this.
And no, Home Alone did not rip this movie off. Anyone who has actually watched both movies will tell you that, vague premise similarities aside, they are completely different movies. but both are certainly worth watching.
Randy's Score: 5/5
