2/5

Not as abysmal as other low-budget Christmas horror, but also never does anything more creative than the pun in its title.

1/5

An underwhelming yuletide horror that could, and should, have been so much better. A massive disappointment, to sit down and focus solely upon Santa's Slay would be ill-advised and this nonsense is best viewed in the background.

2.5/4

Goldberg delivers an appropriately tongue-in-cheek performance, imbuing his Santa Claus with a nice balance of malevolence and sleaziness...

It's cheap, it's goofy, but it's surprisingly smart and endlessly entertaining.

Santa's Slay stands as one of the ultimate Christmas B-flicks. For my time, it's no Jack Frost or Jack Frost 2, but it does have a couple inspiring moments.

This was a fantastic and fun Christmas horror! Not scary but a really great origin story to setup the mayhem and fantastic kills and choreography. CGI was pretty good for its time and lots of laughs. Bill Goldberg was great as evil Satan.

you commenters just don't know how to have fun. it's a purposely stupid, campy movie meant to be stupid and not be taken seriously. In that regard, its great and a seriously fun time. Lighten up

Nice film. Glad I ran across it. Goldberg and the rest of the cast were great. Watch if you can.

Cheesy holiday horror. The most realistic aspect of the movie was the portrayal of the grandma with bad manners, who was offended by the "happy holidays" phrase.

A fun movie. Just take it for what it is and don’t over analyze the movie and it’s a good time.

Santa's Slay is a darkly comedic Christmas slasher gem that's equal parts absurd, shamelessly funny and gory with some outlandish kills and twisted sense of yuletide humor. 10/10
