Christmas Evil W/ Director Live!

Rated R; 90min; Director:Emmett Alston (1980)
Alamo Website:  ur two-part evilization of the winter holidays concludes! This sublimely deficient body count thriller follows doomed white trash VJ "Blaze," a middle-aged mom who dons gaudy neon apparel to host a popular New Years ball. Little does she know that she's been targeted by a weapon-wielding madman who'll stop at nothing to see her drained of blood. Though the slayings are appropriately red n' spurty, the real appeal here comes from the monumentally jarring new wave fashion on display, most notably from the fat partygoing gym coach type with thick tubes of bubblewrap coiled around his forearms. NO RULES! Also present for the hijinks are about a hundred candy-colored teenagers who inexplicably groove to white jazz perpetrated by mohawked wheezebags. Ring in the end of this shitty decade with a senseless, mindless, conscience-free journey into the stupidest alleys of the human brain. (Zack)
