Man i love bad B Horror movies but holy crap how did this end up at Regal? Every character was laughable and the cartoon blood, my god the cartoon blood. If the release of this movie was a joke on the movie going public then Bravo, well done.

To its credit everybody in the theater had a blast talking during the whole thing. Just laughing at all the bad CGI and all the cheesy one-liners it was a very good time in spite of or maybe due to the fact that it was a horrible movie. More words for new character limit since $1billion show tanked and now reviews have to be longer for no legitimate reason whatsoever.

I went into this movie with high expectations. Knowing the Grinch was going to be played by the Terrifier and seeing the trailer had me thinking this movie would be hysterically bloody.

Ironically, it was nowhere near as gory as I anticipated, and that is not necessarily a bad thing. All of the Dr. Suess easter eggs were cute.

This film had a lot of potential to really be a wonderful com-horror parody, but I felt they dropped the ball by not letting the Grinch speak. Given that the Grinch has always spoken and drove the story, to have him non-verbal appeared to be a missed opportunity, especially given how violent he was supposed to be in this movie.

Second thing was the acting was lack-luster and the dialogue not particularly well-written. Obviously this film did not have the budget equivalent of a Marvel film, but the acting just left a lot to be desired. That said, the actor playing the deputy did a serviceable job and of course Mr. Thornton did an outstanding job as the Grinch considering he was limited to body language to convey the character.

All in all not terrible. I have seen better< but also seen much worse.

The film is a combination of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Silent Night Deadly Night." In one scene you see them paying homage to the film when they remove the antlers above the fireplace where Linnea Quigley was impaled. It also has a decapitation scene not similar to the 1984 Christmas classic. The film takes place in Newville, California which rhymes with Whoville. Cindy (Krystle Martin) like Cindy Lou Who meets the Grinch as a child, who then kills her mother when attacked. Twenty years later she returns to town with her dad (Flip Kobler) only to discover the town does not celebrate Christmas. They decide to hang some decorations which starts the terror all over.

There is some narration which is similar to the poetry performed in the Grinch film. Designed as a spoof, I think most people are missing the point. That said, it wasn't that great either.
