The Film Geeks & Bonkers Ass Cinema present DON'T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS
Details
The Film Geeks and Bonkers Ass Cinema will bring the holiday spirit to San Diego with art, gore and ho-ho-Hos in the 80’s Edmund Purdom (PIECES) directed Christmas classic DON’T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS starring Edmund Purdom, Alan Lake, Belinda Mayne, Gerry Sundquist and Mark Jones.
PLOT: Whatever you do, DON’T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS. An unsung 1980s holiday slayride from the makers of PIECES, this unhinged slasher follows a psychopath as they slaughter anyone who’s unlucky enough to be dressed like Santa Claus during the holiday season. The twisted maniac dishes out stabbings, gunshots, a castration (!), and even burns the face of a poor Saint Nick while he’s roasting chestnuts. A fascinating and endlessly entertaining sleazefest, DON’T OPEN TILL CHRISTMAS is infamous for its shocking gore scenes and gratuitous synth-jam performance from horror icon Caroline Munro (DRACULA A.D. 1972, MANIAC). Newly restored from the original 35mm camera negative! – Cinema Junkie
