It turns out that the story of Santa Claus as we know it isn't quite the whole story, and instead of being a kind hearted gift-giver, Santa is actually a devilish life-taker. It was 1000 years ago that the cherubic devil lost a bet with an angel that forced him to play nice for an entire millennium. Though he remained true to his word and spread Christmas cheer for what secretly seemed like an eternity, Santa's patience has run dry with the expiration of the wager, and when this bet runs up the legend of kindly old Kriss Kringle will never be quite the same. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

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

David Cornelius, Hollywood Bitchslap
It's cheap, it's goofy, but it's surprisingly smart and endlessly entertaining.

Ryan Cracknell, Movie Views
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.
