I see an uncorked flim, and I just go." I'm too sober for this shit"
It is amazing that the old horror movies stand up so much better than this new crop of VOD offerings. Even the effects on Chuckie or the Puppet Master look so much better to my eyes than the varying height tree with tentacles. Thanks for the review Snob!
I mean, the effects for the Child's Plays and Puppet Masters were made by like, actual professionals who knew what they were doing.
Those movies had an actual budget (comparatively) and massive talent behind them. These movies have neither
Child's Play wasn't VOD tho
Two things I think always contribute - don't be SO on-the-nose with the camp. Older films are also shot on film which DOES help the overall production value and the way it feels. The practical effects help as a bad practical effect always looks better than terrible Syfy CGI, and also I think that 80s B-movies overall just nailed the right balance of cheesy and actual tension and style that complimented and grounded the most outlandish horror elements in a way that modern indie horror flicks don't really nail.
Because these are the movie equivalent of shitty indie games.
This isn't even the only killer tree movie in existence 😂
It’s weird that the death penalty is a crucial part of this movie apparently set in the UK when they don’t even do it there anymore.
For like the past half century or thereabouts.
@@christiegreenwood2642 The death penalty wasn't officially banned in the UK until 1998. (Although the last execution in the UK happened in 1964.)
I will give it one thing, the film does replicate the feeling of being stuck at a boring Christmas party with people you barely know.
I'd thought you'd already reviewed this, but now I realize I was confusing the Killing Tree with the one that's UNINTENTIONALLY creepy.
Wait, where's his holiday onesie?
Where's yours?
He’s growing up guys 😢
@@BlackAdam1231 He's reviewing a movie about a sentient killer Christmas tree. That isn't a very good excuse.
It’s at the bottom of the volcano
Gone to his son
I want cinema snob in a pj onesie, reviewing Terrifer 3 for Christmas
The many, many years I’ve been watching The Snob and I’ve never been this early..
We really need a holiday Neil Breen movie😅
Isn’t that Corrupt?
13:45 I said the same thing during “Valentine” (2001) when a character said one of the other characters had just gotten released from jail. Several people in the audience said “Who?” at the same time. It was hilarious. 😂
And that's why we have a Cactus as a Christmas Tree.
I'm glad you gave a shout out to Treevenge.
Yeah! time for that "Good Nostalgia!"
Unfortunately we got this ...
I'm newer to the channel. But I'm really enjoying the content! I can't believe the variety of trash, I love it! I hope to meet you one day Cinema Snob. I imagine you as being very tall...
There is a lot of trash in the earlier videos too. Snob always uncovers the trash to bring us treasure.
@0ptimuspine tis' the trash that unites us.
"I imagine you being very tall"
In case youre not trolling: Brad is like 5'5".
This is the weirdest adaptation of "The Christmas Tree That Ate My Mother" I've ever seen~
How have you not reviewed gingerdead man yet?
The GOAT himself back
Already missing the onesies.
We watched this one at our band Christmas celebration this year! So much stupid fun!
I do agree though the dialogue padding is a bit much.
3:55 "drunk necronomicon" 😊
Never thought I'd be watching a Cinema Snob review where Brad says the words "uncorked my ass" in a completely innocent context, but here we are.
Treevenge is a short film on RUclips and I thought this was that lol. Always entertaining Bradley
Yes 🙌
A killer xmas Tree with a British accent does make me think it would be good as a Doctor Who monster and I remembered they did in 2005's 'The Christmas Invasion'.
You're seriously asking what the lights are plugged into........ My first thought was how can a Christmas Tree Hitch Hike or indeed by definition get into a motor vehicle!
@@MarkJackson-uu5ix Dark magic can explain a lot away.
It's been 8 years and you're still referencing saving Christmas. That film has staying power. Its a shame they haven't topped it yer
The killer tree sounded like a snl sketch in the second season
This movie has more padding than a RuPaul's Drag Race.
I’m very proud of you Cinema Snob, well done, & love the Kirk Cameron reference, always a pleasure @ this time lol, well done buddy, now if you’ll excuse me , I’m going to try & give The Worm” a go,… help
Have you seen Yule Log 2?
That's the killer tree movie that I acknowledge!
So if its ten feet tall and kills a Royal is it guilty of High Treason......... I'll get my coat!
Honestly?
This one is dumb fun!
It has borin' parts, but not enough to make you turn it off!
Just... so bad is good, you would say~
Is it bad that I'm cheering for the tree, Go Team Killer Tree
Know what would've built tension? Have one of the people be very sensitive to pine needles and while hiding, they sneeze givng up their hiding spot.
Good ol Snob never letting me down.
Maybe the living Christmas trees should team up with the man-eating, living jeans from that other movie. That would be an interesting movie.
I just heard of this movie a couple days ago. Some christmas movies I like are Silent Bites and Murder on 34th street.
I will only accept the snob not being in a onesie if Jack is wearing it.
About time I came around to this one.
I do remember you refrencing this in the "Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey" review...I think. I have to say, if it weren't for the padding with all these uninteresting and dull characters, this would've been in the category of being so bad, its good. But as it stands, this looks like the kind of movie you'd only watch so you can fas forward to the Killer Tree parts, as those were a real delight.
I was going to say "I swear I've seen this before, but it doesn't seem familiar", but I was thinking of Treevenge...
What car does a tree drive...... A Citroen 2TreeV!
I figured you would get to this one eventually.
The villain made me laugh alot so I'll give it that!!
I really hope we get a review of the new Jack Frost one and Nutcracker Massacre!!
_"Stop trying to have LORE."_
Me to every horror indie game devs.
I'm on time! Yes!
Dear God when did the career of Partick Bergin fall this far!
I lost it at the freaking angel tree. Hilariously stupid.😂
Tubi has Clownshark.... 🤡 🦈?! What the actual Freud?!
Ten out of Ten for the Netflix Tyson Jib Snob!
If it had been on either Great Christmas here in the UK or Hallmark in the US the punchline would have been the kids or teens would be celebrating Christmas whilst remembering the tragic loss of one of their parents... Always the way!
A blood and honey miracle everyone.
New Snob 👍
I just like the thumbnail where the tree has an axe.
As far as the killer-possesses-random-object in a horror movie genre goes, a killer tree is kind of fun. I just wish this movie looked more fun.
Man, I can't believe it's almost Christmas and we're already talking about Horror Movies! *Pause* Which I have no problem with though.
An xmas tree looking at a map hahahaha hilarious
I'm honestly surprised they didn't take the time to put a googly eye on two of the ornaments.
Well that's one less present to put under the Christmas Tree..... Too Much!
Now make like a tree and get out of here.- "Biff Tannon"
I have a question: Does Charles Lee Ray know you raided his wardrobe?
I'll give the answer to that question, Mr. Jones, next Christmas.
Like to see The Snob do Carved and Mr. Crocket in future episodes.
You should one day talk about the Jaws spoof, "Trees."
"Max Lightning"
Of course that exists
20:51 When I found out there is more Elden Ring DLC
This is like the Christmas version of The Tobonga (From Hell It Came 1958)
Was that "Christmas wine" Clinkerbrick?
Of course
Padding, padding, pad-DING! Padding, padding, pad-DING!
Wait, Snob, no X-mas onesie this year? And does this "studio" only shoot obvious rip-offs? A wonder that the devs of 5NAF didn't sue!
5:07 Knew it. 1st victim is always the reserrector of the killer.
This movie feels like if Phelous review this movie back in 2009.
The Killing Tree Vs. The Evil Lamp from Amityville 4.
I saw 2 creepypastas about evil Christmas trees. They were better written.
Wonder if we'll get any horror version of Tintin and Popeye now that they're public domain now.
Is the christmas wine supplied by Klinker Brick?
I'm sorry, but I have no time for a killer plant that DOESN'T sing in a do-op style 😂
Watched Treevenge just before this, let's see how this goes!
Edit: It seems that the answer is "If they edited the movie down to the same length as Treevenge, it could be an entertaining romp"
Is that Cleopatra poster from the Elisabeth Taylor movie or another version ?
Is Rhys Frake Waterfield on that list?
No onesie this year?
How did that Tree leap over the roof of the..... On second thoughts I don't care!
2:10 what, no klinkerbrick?
The UK hasn't had the death penalty since 1964. What a weird oversight given this was clearly a British production.
A killer christmas tree sounds like a jojos bizarre adventure chapter
All hail Rhys Frake Waterfield the Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles of our time!
How did this somehow make more sense than Collateral Beauty?
Isn't it cold in England in December? Why is the pool open?
It's not that cold here in December 😅
I love bad, cheesy horror movies
I am just saying this now...Jack Frost looked realistic compared to this.
The existence of these movies has got to be part of some sort of scam.
So the guy killed her parents and was tried and executed all before the next Christmas? I can't believe they'd have such an unrealistic portrayal of the legal system in this movie!
Queens English... I can only think of Nigel tufnel 😎
One of the weird things about horror B-movies post-2000 is that their lighting always seems to be ASS compared to the horror B-movies prior to that. I wonder if it's some kind of overconfidence in digital cameras or something else, I have no idea.
so the killing tree was the one Miss Velma used because it can change sizes lol
10:16 You mean they're British and on TV?
So...was "Treevenge" spurned here bc it wasn't Feature Length?
I thought the redhead was Linsey Lohan at first.
Your throat is covered in sap
Simpsons already did it.
(seriously. Treehouse Of Horror comic #4, "Tahn-E-Bahm". He comes from a planet that Earthlings cannot pronounce because if you accent the 18th syllable wrong it means 'big butt')
(also, why does the killer look like Jimmy Saville? Ew)
Ok how much Marijuana they smoke for this one
Hi 👋😊
Which is worse; this or The Magic Christmas Tree?
We need Teddy Krueger or Trevor Moorehouse to liven things up..... But not Ben Tramer he's suffered enough!
