Christmas Bloody Christmas is a 2022 Christmas horror film that was directed and written by Joe Begos.
Plot.
The film starts with vignettes that resemble the typical Christmas advertisements, along with a news flash regarding a robotic Santa that's been recalled because of a certain malfunction that reverts it from its original programming.
Tori (Dandy), along with her employee Robbie (Delich) closes their vinyl shop. They begin to talk about Tori's Tinder date; Robbie debates that the guy Tori will go out with is secretly a dad to four kids. Tori obliged to Robbie's request not to meet the date and instead opt to go and have drinks with him. Before heading to the bar, they visited their friends, couple Lahna and Jay, owners of the toy shop next door, where another robotic Santa is displayed.
Tori and Robbie gave the couple an opened bottle of liquor and after some banter, they parted ways, with Lahna hinting that their going to have sex in the toy shop.
At the bar, Sheriff Monroe arrived as the duo discussed band albums. Sheriff Monroe laments that he'll be celebrating Christmas alone since he can't bear the spoiled dog his wife left him with, and comments that he didn't know that Tori and Robbie are a thing now. Elsewhere, the toy shop is being observed voyeuristically by the robotic Santa from earlier. It sees Lahna and Jay having intercourse on the Santa display and uses a fire ax to dismember the couple. As Tori and Robbie argue inside Robbie's car, the robotic Santa is walking ominously towards the car.
Tori and Robbie arrive at Tori's house, now discussing which is the best movie in each franchise, including Hellraiser, Aliens, Child's Play and A Nightmare On Elm Street. Tension rises while they are preparing food and they make out, immediately moving to Tori's bedroom. As Robbie performs cunnilingus, the scene is juxtaposed with the robotic Santa terrorizing Tori's neighbor, killing and curb stomping the father on the stairs and killing another one in the bathroom. After a while, Tori heads down to check the nachos they left in the oven, and she sees from her window the robotic Santa killing a kid. She freaks out and starts calling out Robbie; she also wakes up her sister and her boyfriend, Liddy and Mike. They quietly observe Santa circling their household, with only Mike failing to make sense of the situation. Then, Santa throws the body of the father, pinning Robbie temporarily. In the chaos, Santa kills Liddy with a neck snap while Tori and Robbie escape, leaving Mike pleading for his life.
They ran back to Robbie's car while Tori broke down crying as she saw her sister die. Robbie pulls her up and they frantically look for the car keys inside the car. In their panic, they reversed and crashed to a nearby parked car, to which the owner saw. The owner of the car calls the police as he approaches and throws his beer bottle in front of Robbie's car, not noticing the robotic Santa behind him. Tori and Robbie warn him to look out for the robotic Santa; he fails and gets his head split into two and gets thrown on the car's windshield.
