All the information you need to decide if Violent Night is worth your money is right there in the movie poster. It’s like Sharknado.

Read more: Amityville Christmas VacationWell, he has done it again. Mr. “I’ll be making a formal complaint” about Ruthless Reviews has made yet another Christmas movie. I’m always objective, even with Steve Rudzinski’s self-serving garbage that he tries to masquerade as a movie, but let’s not kid ourselves. We all know that it will be terrible, but the only…

Read more: Krampus: The Devil Returns (2016)This will be a Christmas Movie Rant more than a movie review. Some movies don’t even deserve the title of “movie”, much less to be reviewed.

Read more: Sint (2010)So, it begins again, the annual Ruthless parade of Christmas Movies. All of the worthwhile classics have long been watched and reviewed, so I have to sift through the scrap-heap of obscure and awful movies, and see what new Christmas movies might appear on the horizon.
