The only reason this movie is getting a 2 is because of the cover art. That's it. What a load of crap.

If you want to watch horrible acting and horrible script and horrible kill scenes and an all around horrible movie watch mrs clause. I only give it a 2 instead of a 1 because some of the kill scenes are so bad its funny.

Seems I was on the naughty list this year as I had to sit through this movie.

1/10 is generous but it is Christmas

I can see the best in a B movie and have fun maybe where others couldn't. But this is worse than I've ever seen. It could win the award if there's one. Really Poor production, script, cast, wardrobe/ makeup, and directing. Money would have been better spent feeding the homeless or providing housing than worthless stuff like this. Really baddd

A true horror as in horrible. Actresses look like they belong in the before shot of a plastic surgery spot not to mention their acting skills were worse than their unibrows and that was no small feat. If you are forced to choose between this gem or rabies....go for the rabies.

Beginning to and wasting time. Who ever make this movie, seems like they never watch movie in their life. Omg

Everything was terrible about this film, ultra low budget, terrible acting, bad concept, rubbish characters, poor camera quality, poor production. this is entry level film making from the school years, anyone giving this movie more than 3 stars doesn't know anything about films can't believe some people actually giving this trash movie like 7 or even 10 you people must be sarcastically giving it 10 lol. I watched 10 mins of this garbage and then changed the movie. Watching a plant grow is better than this film or staring into blank space. This film 0/10 can't call this a film

The whole movie sucked!!!!! I don't know what was worse; the graphics or the acting. IT'S SO BAD!!!!!! The script was ok but it sounded like it was written from a group of 3rd graders. Total waste of my time and money!!!!!

I was fortunate enough to catch a screening of this at a film festival (under the title Stirring) and I was really surprised by how much fun it was. Obviously shot with a low-budget, Mrs. Claus doesn't let that get in its way. If you take a chunk of To All A Goodnight (complete with the prologue prank gone wrong) and throw in a few dollops of Black Christmas and Silent Night, Deadly Night, you might get some idea for what this film is trying to achieve.

The cast is a mostly appealing bunch, it's fairly well shot, and the special effects are pretty terrific. I must thank the filmmakers for casting Brinke Stevens and Helene Udy and giving them more than just thankless cameos (which seems to be a plague among many indie horror films - if you're casting these pros, give them something to do). They're given a good deal to do here and they're a blast to watch.

If you're looking for a deep, thought-provoking horror film, this won't be your thing, but those of you looking for a fun throwback to mindless 80's slashers will find a lot to enjoy.

For a no-budget slasher, Mrs. Claus could be a lot worse than it is. Most of the actors are competent even if all they're given to do is to scream and make small talk in living rooms in between death scenes. The death scenes themselves are executed with a suitable amount of passion and excitement and there are a few surprises that make this one stand out a bit from the other cheap slashers clogging your Amazon feed.

The main problem I had with this film was that it took itself a little too seriously, and none of the actors are good enough to carry a film of that nature. When it tried to be funny, it wasn't funny at all, because again the acting is not up to snuff. The writing was also nothing to write home about.

The bulk of this film was a bunch of unlikeable "party bro and their girlfriend" characters hanging out and talking at one lame Christmas party. In fact, with about fifteen minutes left in the movie, these characters are STILL sitting around having boring conversations in this room when, you would think, the film had created some sort of tension at this point. Nope. You also get to read all their texts that'll pop up on the screen randomly, which I thought was rather dumb. It gets to be quite a chore to sit through, with a gore murder happening every fifteen minutes or so to liven things up.

I do admire the fact they chose to use all practical effects for this film and not any CG garbage. The kills are basic slasher stabbings and slit throats, with none of them standing out in particular. But the blood does flow rather nicely. It still definitely wasn't enough to save the movie for me though.

There's some brief topless nudity, and Brinke Stevens shows up as a cop. I will also say the shots right before the opening credits were well done and genuinely creepy. It gave me hope as the movie started up, but unfortunately, it did not get any better than that.

Not the worst thing I've ever sat through, but still just another forgettable slasher flick.

The movie could be better..it is rather a grade B movie with some positive points, the artists have potential but the movie did not allowed the artists to give their best

Others have compared this movie to classic slasher movies. This movie MIGHT be compared to those, but the sound quality and effects, the poor special effects, acting, the script, lack of believability in several of the scenes, the casting and so on are on a level that might have been OK in the seventies, but not in 2018!

I barely felt any compassion for any of the victims since they were mostly portrayed as a little bit unsympathetic. Of course not as bad so that they deserved to die, but still not so that I felt really sorry for them dying either. This movie barely deserves to even be called a horror movie in my opinion but a splatter movie, since it had more focus on gallons of blood floating around and gushing out than being really scary. This is in my experience what happens when filmmakers are not really able to make a horror movie scary , but confuses having a LOT of blood and guts with what makes a movie scary.

First off I watch just about every movie I can from every genre, but tend to gravitate towards horror films. This movie is in a league of it's own...ABSOLUTE TRASH!! Horrible from beginning to end. A bunch of toddlers could have done better acting than these scrubs. Nothing is believable or delivered well. The best acting might be from the girl at the "party", and she's only getting sympathy because i'm pretty sure she has Down syndrome. Not a single one of these girls would be allowed in a real sorority. If you or someone you care about is debating watching this please think twice. Then think some more. Not worth a second of your time.

It doesn't scaried me at all, I only watched it because it had a high score in IMDB when I watched with very positive comments, now the score is lower around 4 and it is still too high for it. It is very predictible, and it has a terrible script and a terrible story. Don't waste your time unless you have nothing else to do

I wish I never watched this it's so stupid and low budget

This "sorority" makes the Lambda's in Revenge of the Nerds seem cool. Once again...literally a couple people with handheld cameras and really cheap lighting thinking they are filmmakers. The only good thing is that it's free on Prime...

Mrs. Clause (2018) is a movie I recently watched for free on Tubi. This picture focuses on a sorority house that had some historically bad events including a murder happen there many years ago. When the sister of a woman involved in the murder arrives back at the sorority the murders start where they left off. This movie is directed by Troy Escamilla (Teacher Shortage and Party Night) on a $10,000 budget and stars Daiane Azura (Prison of the Psychotic Damned), Helene Udy (The Dead Zone), Mel Heflin (The Figure), Brinke Stevens (Personal Demons) and Jantel Hope (Dos and Donts of Dating). The storyline for this is an obviously Black Christmas knockoff but with unique kill scenes and characters and a few more nude scenes. The acting and cinematography are very average but the kill scenes were much better than I expected and kept my interest. The Mrs. Clause mask in this was rather dreadful. Overall, this is a below average addition to the genre that isn't a waste of time but isn't a masterpiece either. I'd score this a 4/10.

This was a waste of an hour and a half gargage, complete useless waste of time

Mrs. Claus is an entertaining slasher horror thriller! With an off the wall Christmas theme and story. It's totally low budget and maybe even micro budget -- yet it works. It delivers chills, thrills and gore galore. Not something I'd watch over and over yet it's overall a solid horror thriller. Worth checking out.

A movie obviously made for very little, but it makes up for it in pure indie spirit and I found it gripping at times and didn't expect the final twist at all. It's always nice to see Brinke Stevens in a slasher movie. There's something really comforting about her presence.

The new holiday horror hit Written and directed by Troy Escamilla brings us Mrs. Claus! It is a lot of fun and gives us plenty of gore and creative kills ala 80's Slasher style! It's pledge week and the sororities are making there pledges to many things to prove they really want in! Delta Sigma Sigma, has there focus on Angela (Mel Heflin). An Innocent teen who will do anything to gain acceptance. Licking toilet war is bad but what they have in store is truly humiliating. Amber (Kaylee Williams)the head sister really pushes the challenges, but she passes all there tests and welcomed in the sororities. Flash forward to Christmas and everyone is having a great time and the Sorority. But Amber still wants to make sure she is the top girl and doesn't like how comfortable and how popular Angela has become. So when there exchanging gifts, Angela unwraps one that represents a terrible thing from the night of pledges that humiliated her. Angela loses it and that night brutally murders Amber and hangs herself. Now ten years later Ambers sister Danielle (Hailey Strader) joins the same sorority and is questioned about her choice. Now the annual big Christmas party is set to take place. But someone posing as Mrs. Claus is against it and will stop it from happening. Danielle is getting cryptic threatening emails from the poem the "A Vist From St. Nicholas". It's a warning about the up coming Christmas party but goes ignored! Now super hot party girl Sophie (Daiane Azira) is missing and her mom reports it. Her killing is a highlight of the movie and one of the most creative viciously done kills Mrs. Claus executes. Eveverything is just getting weirder and weirder by the moment for Danielle. Then an unexpected visit from Angela's mom (Helene Udy)occurs. She verbally assaults Danielle and leaves! Then walks in scream queen icon (Brinke Stevens) as a bad ass campus officer warning everyone to stay in and cancel Any more party plans. Sophie is still missing And Mrs. Claus is whacking her way through the rest of the cast. Little by little you begin to unravel and figure out who the killer is...but do you really know who it is?

Danielle then receives an unexpected visit from Angela's mother, Mrs. Werner and let's just say she is not there to wish Danielle a Merry Christmas. Mrs. Claus is one bad ass mother, that's Slasher her way though the Christmas season. Wow I was really really surprised on how much I liked....no loved this. This is. Slasher lovers dream. There is enough killings and blood for 2 movies. The way the killings are executed and well thought out and so much fun! I was taken back to the Slasher era once again and giggling like a teen! Blood, boobs, fun dialogue, Blood and so many creative kills. This is top rated and highly advised.

To have Brinke Stevens and Helene Udy in one movie in such strong roles was a tribute to them and a reward to all horror fans. To see such icons not just do a cameo but plum roles is a early Christmas gift!

Troy Escamilla is 2/2 first with Party Night now Mrs. Claus. Troy is a master of his craft and knows what his particular audience wants and he delivers! He not only films the movie but takes you into the movie with his talent of scaring you and making you feel your part of what is unveiling in front of you. The characters are talented and really deliver. New comer Hailey Strader is very like able and really does well with a complex major role. Hope to see a lot more of her.

If you pay attention and take your eyes off off the Character Sophie at the beginning you will notice a poster of Party Night in the background!

Now I want to see sequels to both of these....I need more!

Merry Christmas and this will help!

The movie is available for pre-order through Amazon currently.
