10 Most Obscure And Underrated Slasher Horror Movies

10. Santa's Slay

Where to even begin with 2005's Santa's Slay?

In this bizarre take on Father Christmas, Santa is depicted as an unhinged spawn of Satan, who only undertakes to deliver presents as a result of losing a curling match to an angel. Before this, he enjoyed an annual "Day of Slaying" every Christmas, which consisted of him trying to do his best impression of what it would look like if Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees had a baby. The catch? The bet only lasts for 1,000 years and time is up.

Santa's Slay is a twisted, hilarious take on the art of the slasher. Wrestling star Bill Goldberg is obviously not Daniel Day-Lewis but he doesn't blink in a comically dark performance as he terrorizes the aptly named Hell's Township. As opposed to coming down the chimney, he blasts through like the Kool Aid man and proceeds to murder a family in an absolutely sadistic frenzy; highlights include him drowning one family member in eggnog after lighting her hair on fire and glaring at one so hard that she faints, falling neck first onto a spike behind her.

It would be cruel to spoil the rest but the madness doesn't let up there. Drawn by his nightmarish "hell-deer", Santa unleashes a tidal wave of holiday bloodshed while Douglas Smith's Nicholas Yuleson has to survive the night with his crackpot scientist grandfather. Frankly, Santa's Slay is just so ridiculous that it's actually a cracking watch; a top notch example of a movie so bad that it's great.
