We're scraping the bottom of the barrel (again) today with a look at U.F.O. (1993), a painfully unfunny vehicle for odious "politically incorrect" comedian Roy "Chubby" Brown. Awful beyond belief. https://t.co/gNrqJNfS4m

Jack Cardiff's The Mutations (1974) is a silly, sleazy SF/horror hybrid with Donald Pleasence trying out a daft accent, a heavily made-up Tom Baker in a floppy hat, some nudity and real-life sideshow performers. And it still manages to be very dull... https://t.co/mfnYOZix9n

A German invasion in 1940 sends Britain down a very different course in It Happened Here (1965), a rough and ready but fascinating "alternate history" whose directors were teenage boys when they started their eight-year long production. https://t.co/LU4TTJBe4i

Alexander Mackendrick's The Man in the White Suit (1951) is a terrific science fiction satire from Ealing about the invention of an indestructible fabric and the effects it has on a small northern town. Alec Guinness is excellent in the title role. https://t.co/DnJt8Xaf56

Given the people involved in it, The Satan Bug (1965) really should have been a better film. The tale of a stolen bioweapon that threaten all life on Earth, it's surprisingly stodgy and lacking in excitement. https://t.co/QHPTehLEtt

The last straw may have been added to this Christmas' review burden in the shape of yet another seasonal horror anthology, the truly dismal The Fright Before Christmas (2022) - and this thing actually got a sequel! https://t.co/D4axPgPWR0

A few questions are asked and hopefully answered in this week's episode. Sorry if we didn't get round to yours - we will eventually! https://t.co/ifUIo6nCm0

Unholy Night (2019) is a ragged Canadian seasonal horror anthology film but one not without its charms. And this one really does have a killer elf in it so it certainly has that going for it! https://t.co/lWb2laIl3M

And here's another one. Despite the title, The Elf(2017) is actually about a killer doll and if anything it's even more hopeless than He Knows - hard to believe, but it's horribly true... https://t.co/5tdAy24bva

He Knows (2022) is the first of two Christmas horror films we're looking at this year about killer elves - except neither of them are. This one is a dreary slasher about a masked killer styling himself Sammy the Elf... https://t.co/WGnn7lxkTm

In It Came Upon the Midnight Clear (1984), Mickey Rooney is brought back from the dead to find an angel gone walkabout in New York and ends up shouting at everyone he meets in a very un-Christmassy way. https://t.co/m48N2wAvpE

Demonic Christmas Tree (2022), aka The Killing Tree, a cheap tale of a serial killer reborn as a Christmas tree. Yep, it really is that daft... https://t.co/3Y8nfxSIrd

The Cricket on the Hearth (1967) is a lacklustre Dickens adaptation from those perennial Christmas special merchants Rankin/Bass. Worth hearing for Roddy McDowell's "gor blimey guv'nor" accent but little else. https://t.co/9keXCjDOyb

A Timeless Christmas (2020) is a largely standard issue Hallmark Christmas film with an added time travel twist. Imagine a sort of Somewhere in Time (1980) in reverse and you’re getting there. It's still not any good though... https://t.co/2ZnNb9BQE6

It’s fairly well known that if you really, really love tacky, often tasteless and almost impossible to tell apart Christmas films, you’ll find them on the US cable channel Hallmark. Not…

Edwin S. Porter's The Night Before Christmas (1905) was the first adaptation of the beloved poem and is... just what it is really. Santa is sort of interesting here, a bit ruthless perhaps, and at just 9 minutes it's an affable time filler. https://t.co/hLKu1pBf85

Guess Who's Coming for Christmas? (1990) is a cross between It's a Wonderful Life (1946) and Starman (1984) with Richard Mulligan as a small-town eccentric meeting alien visitor Beau Bridges. https://t.co/hvrw8jv1jy

It wouldn’t be Christmas without at least one version of A Christmas Carol and here's the 2004 musical version starring Kelsey Grammer. And no, it's not good... https://t.co/N7MS5xldmo

Cute robots battle their evil counterparts while Steven Seagal's daughter turns up as Santa Claus (I'm not making this up I swear) in the thoroughly bewildering TV series spin-off B-Robo Kabutack: The Epic Christmas Battle!! (1997). https://t.co/1hTElNHTcq
