Freddy Opens X-mas Presents: Part 1: Ugly Sweater Party

Haunted ugly sweater causes madness at a christian camp Read the full article on AICN Freddy Beans here with a review of a X-mas themed horror movie, UGLY SWEATER PARTY. UGLY SWEATER PARTY starts with a police interrogation involving the cliché good cop/bad cop roles, add in some random satanic and Nazi symbolism and I’m intrigued.  The cops are demanding answers of the ugly x-mas sweater wearing Declan Rains (Scott Whalen).  Things degrade and the ugly sweater wearer quits breathing. We transition to Cliff (Charles Chudabala) and Jody (Hunter Johnson) who must obtain an ugly X-mas sweater if they’re going to get laid.  Susan (Tiffani Fest) and Samantha (Emily Dahm) have invited the boys to their ugly sweater party, held at a heavily homo-erotic tinged Christian camp.  The boys and their budding relationship with the girls is the main focus of this largely unfocused film. UGLY SWEATER PARTY is a medley of ideas that never quite converge together.  While watching this one I couldn’t help but feel like it would benefit being converted to an anthology.  Cutting some of the looser ideas into separate wholes would have benefitted the film immensely.  There’s an unexplainable satanic death metal band that helps the fired groundskeeper.  They help him get clarity once he finalizes his laser gun invention and plan for payback.
