Ballet boots again

Unintentionally festive movie review now. To All A Goodnight

I decide I want to watch films from listicles and stupid articles posted from facebook. I decide to do reviews/re-action blogs/liveblog posts, not because of the film but just if I have time/effort to put in. I'm watching this obviously christmas themed film in August (though i have no idea when I'll post this), the irony being that I don't actually watch Christmassy things at Christmas time. Its two years ago and girls are running around a house being chased by someone with an axe, unsure if this is a real threat or some weird sorority game One just fell over a bannister and is presumably dead but none of the others have time to react as the title sequence is starting, still confused if this was a game or not? Now it's present day and students are leaving for Christmas vacations in weather that looks brighter than Scotland in the summer. One of the girls left behind would rather spend christmas in a cave than with her mother, neglecting the fact that she doesn't need to do either because she's staying on campus with her friends so I don't really know why this is brought up Ominous music while a pair of hands put on gloves and take a knife from a drawer, the five girls and the sorority mother are at dinner so whoever this killer is we know straight away it's not one of the students There's a brunette with an obviously English posh style accent, not sure why she's at an american university Another girl has her boyfriend flying his daddies plane over for a booty call... maybe the university has a private runway? Or is he gonna walk from the airport? There's a sixth student called Cynthia who apparently wasn't feeling well and isn't hungry, maybe she's the killer then? Nevermind, Cynthia's sneaking away with her boyfriend Paul so is probably not planning on murdering her fellow sorority sisters. Cynthia is getting ready to leave right in front of her window and Paul is missing the free show because he's smoking-idiot. Don't worry, the audience gets to see naked boobs because you can't have a film about female university students and not show some boobs, it's like a law. Seriously though Cynthia if you're skipping dinner to wait for Paul you should've been ready by now. Paul's shouting at the house as if they're not trying to sneak out in the middle of the night. Paul's now been caught by the gloved hands, you know if Cynthia had been ready and he'd been quieter they could've been away already and possibly survived, oh well I wonder how the hands managed to sneak out and get behind Paul so quickly without any of the other students realising Students at dinner are now saying "God bless whoever built that airstrip" so that answers that question. Rich bf is expected at midnight because it's obviously going to be more dramatic that way. Clocks chiming as he walks in the door, dude plans on making an entrance. Cynthia finally sneaks out a door and not her window and two feet later is stabbed in the chest. There's no scream just a weak moan as if she's fell over. Definitely not our killer One of the girls thinks she saw something outside but she's the outsider and the others don't believe her. I wonder how she saw something cause it doesn't look like they're near any windows, and why didn't the person beside her see anything? Another girl is getting something from a room and the English one asks her to bring back the Chanel, because she simply must smell good while eating dessert? A tall strange dude with garden shears appears from nowhere talking about god and plants, obvious learning difficulties and religious = suspect in an 80s horror film. I don't think it's him though he's not wearing gloves Sorority mother starts clearing plates away and none of the students are helping. Universities teaching life skills and good manners since like never. Girls start taking the piss out of the gardener dude as he walks through their dining room, outsider girl (Nancy) doesn't seem to be laughing with them. Good on you Nancy! One girl says their gonna do the dishes for the House Mother so she can go to bed, an obvious ploy to get her to bed so they can have an orgy with the rich bf when he gets there Oh, not only do they want her to bed they're actually drugging her, and joking that she might never wake up. Nice to know they're so appreciative of her. The girls are going in the halfdark to meet the plane. One says he's early and they'll have more time to *muffled*, but when it lands she says he's late. Make up your mind woman! Bfs friends are all dressed like Santa because something about this has to be Christmassy somewhere. Bf is kinda rude to the pilot, probably forgetting that it's his dad's plane and his dad who will be paying the pilot and not him. I hope the pilot tells the dad about this 'secret' flight One of the guys has brought an acoustic guitar. Like, could you not. This is always the worst at parties. At least they've taken off the Santa suits... Also this isn't really quiet and secret anymore, no one's even checked if the House Mother is sleeping Another dude starts on about medical procedures. Dude with those glasses and that shirt you need better game. English girl is going to get alcohol but for all of them they'd need a good few cases and the fridge is tiny. Bet the guys didn't even bring any, this party sucks! Killer is now in a Santa suit, before it was just gloves but since the bfs friends were in suits I think he's borrowed one of theirs English girl wants to be taken to bed but instead she gets her throat cut. No struggling at all although her eyes did roll back. Gardenerman Ralph tells Nancy to go to bed and lock her doors, he can't be the killer he's still in the same clothes as earlier One dude Tom wonders where English girl has went and someone says maybe she left him, like you're in her Sorority where she stays, where would she go? Tom ends up outside and finds English girls body before being attacked by the evil Santa. Decides not to call for help or run away but to try and fight, what an idiot. Tom gets bashed with a rock and there's a sort of close up that would be gruesome if it wasn't a cheap 80s film and the face is in so much darkness you can't see anything. Santa buries at least one, possibly both, maybe even all four of his victims bodies, it's not really clear. Back inside guitar guy is making out with one of the girls that’s left. She probably figured if she kisses him at least he's not trying to sing Medical student is fidgeting awkwardly while looking at the other girl sitting right beside him, obviously too scared to move. They're now going to bed, and it looks as though medical student is going to be taken advantage of. Posh bf is topless in bed while his girl is singing and doing ballet twirls, because that’s why he took his dads plane; to see her dance... The girl meets Nancy going to the kitchen and says she might marry this one, Nancy says its a bit sudden. Obviously not some long term relationship they're in, but that just begs the question why did this guy fly a plane specifically to meet her? And how did they arrange this in the days before Snapchat? The girl and Nancy are going to the fridge and step in English girls blood, the girl thinks its Ralph’s and leaves while Nancy starts to clean. Nancy's like the only semi-decent one here. Also I bet none of them have actually done the dishes they said  they would Girl is making a lot of noise in bed with posh bf and unsure if she's meant to be orgasming or sneezing Nancy, with her milk, is now outside and watches them for a while. Creepy much? Girl with guitar player are naked on the floor in like the living room and suddenly he gets and arrow through the head and her head is chopped off with an axe. Killer is no longer dressed as Santa but in a suit of armour that was in the room, mixing things up a little. Nancy wanders back to her room and doesn't seem to notice the bloodstain on her window. Ralph suddenly comes in through the large window/door and starts telling her somethings up. It doesn't feel right that the gardener has such easy access to teenage girls rooms at a university even if in this film he isn't the killer. Ralph leaves through the door this time, after giving Nancy a bible and telling her to pray repeatedly. He may not be a killer but he's still a bit weird. Santa boots are digging again, is there two killers or do they just like repeated costume changes? Maybe it was too heavy to walk around in chainmail? At this point I'm not sure who the killer is but I am guessing it must relate back to the girl killed in the chase two years ago. Some unknown family member maybe, because if it doesn't relate back then there'd be no point in that start. Medical students trying to read and his girl is basically pressuring him into sex. He tried to get away so badly he fell off a bed. If a guy was acting like this to a girl it'd be classed as rape. It's the next day and breakfast time, the survivors are planning a picnic and don't even know what happened to the rest yet. House mother has woken up after being drugged, and doesn't mention the dishes so I assume someone did them at some point, possibly Nancy House mother doesn’t question any of the guys being there.. Medical student is less awkward and more outgoing, so doesn't seem to be traumatised by his rape yet. He says Nancy is cute and she denies it repeatedly, obviously he remembers what its like being the outsider and possibly appreciates her looks more than the obvious heavily madeup face of his abuser. Nancy's denying it due to an ingrained low self esteem, compounded by living 24/7 with the other bitchy students. Nancy falls over Ralph’s body in the woods. This wasn't buried like the others and he was alive in the background as they had breakfast so its unsure when he got killed. Rich bf asks the chief of police if he has to tell their parents. Like someone (well one that they know of) has been murdered! The police have protocol to follow and don't care if you'll get in trouble with daddy you dumb fuck. Apparently Ralph has a record for assault and robbery, I wonder why the university didn't do a background check on their gardener before they hired him. Police chief leaves some officers at the house to stand guard and warns them not to touch the students, sounds like he doesn't have much faith in them... Nancy and medical student think the killers still about because the others are still missing. The others leave them alone, I sense he's switching his attentions to her instead of his abuser. She's the nicest one, you should be with her! In saying that though medical student dude is one of the four close enough to rich prick to be brought on the plane. He must be at least part asshole to be included in that group House mother isn't concerned about the killer and says she has a rolling pin to protect herself. I think it's really her. The abusers getting changed but this time there's not even any sideboob. I guess they've filled their quota Posh bf hears his girl laughing in her room with the police officer but he can't say anything as he's been getting closer to medical students abuser. Santa is taking out an axe, Nancy and medical student are right to be worried! Policeman on patrol asks Santa what theyre doing in that dumb outfit and the axe is firmly planted in his head. That greeting suggests its someone he knew though so it must be the House Mother Policeman who was inside is now in the students bed and they're both naked, or topless at least. Guess he didn't listen to the chief earlier Also nothing was exposed of her apart from her shoulders, definitely used up all their sexual quota Nevermind, you can see boobs just as shes about to get in the shower...before doing a weird kinda half scream thing because there's a decapitated head hanging in the shower. At this point police man comes in knifed in the back, however Santa has another knife with which to shut this bitch up Rich bf and the abuser are outside which seems stupid since the police chief told them to stay inside, however given killer santa's in one of the bathrooms maybe its good their outside Somehow while theyre kissing Santa has managed to come outside, climb up the tree they're standing at, and loop a wire around his neck and is strangling him... How that did not make enough noise to be noticed is a mystery I fear will not be explained Abuser runs to the door and eventually Nancy and medical student let her in. They go to warn house mother but her rooms empty - its obviously her now! Medical student tries to call help but literally as he picks up the phone Santa cuts the wire, good timing on Santas part there Posh boys original girl who did it with the policeman is called Leia, and is apparently still alive. She's singing and doing ballet again because that’s what you do when you find a decapitated head in your shower then watch a policeman get murdered Santa’s here again and takes off the mask, it is the house mother = knew it! Apparently her daughter was the one that fell at the start of the film, she's blaming Nancy but Nancy says this is her first year so she possibly just blames them all. This doesn't explain why she didn't kill Leia in the shower though? Abuser run out to get rich pricks pilot to fly them away and Santas run after her, again ignoring Leia who's still doing ballet While the pilot#s trying to fix the plane Santa has somehow sneaked past and is inside the cockpit. Santa runs the engines on and propellor kills the pilot, maybe abuser too you don't see anything just blood on the windsheild (Leland loves his blood on the windshield!!) The killers back in the house searching for Nancy, again ignoring Leia who's twirling in the living room Where's medical student? Last I seen of him he was trying to use the phone! Killers now fell off the balcony, like mother like daughter, but seems like she's still alive Another santa brings her body in and its the police chief. That's her husband, and now she's dead he wants to kill Nancy. Medical student pops up from somewhere and shoots this santa with a crossbow he got from somewhere... He runs away with Nancy and Leia remains doing ballet as the credits take over because why not?
