Our Reviews:
Imagine a Home Alone-esque premise where a child annoyed by his family makes a wish for them to disappear and it comes true, except the child is a disgruntled, nerdy adolescent who’s one trenchcoat shy of a Columbine incident. Instead of accidentally leaving the disgruntled son home alone while traveling to Paris, this family starts getting killed off one-by-one by a murderous, Christmas-themed shark that’s come to life from the pages of a comic book. It culminates in a fantastic stand-off against Santa Jaws where the morons involved try to fight it off using weapons made out of various Christmas decorations and everybody has aim even worse than your typical Storm Trooper.
Boy gets magic pen and then promptly forgets how to use it.
More people need to appreciate a good comic book, especially the writers of this movie. They wouldn't know good comic book writing if it were a Christmas-themed killer shark that bit them on their entire body, wait... I have a great idea for a movie! Let me just draw a magical picture first! Also, some real German words were used in this movie, unlike African Kung-Fu Nazis, which didn't really seem to.
Solid movie. Solid acting. Solid premise. Bad Egg Nog.
As a kid, you almost certainly had a daydream of offing your shitty family for their unfair criminal sentencing procedures. But if you lived in Louisiana AND were a budding comic book artist, there's a decent chance you actually pulled it off using a shark powered with Christmas spirit!
Really limited by being on SyFy. I'd like to see it reworked into a The Meg sequel/holiday special.
