...and blood covered boobies. Dread Central gives us this Christmas/Krampus horror flick, which should tell you right away that there will be a strong emphasis on gore, comedy, and shitty cliches to represent all the reasons why non-horror fans dismiss the genre for being stupid and lazy. This is Slay Belles, and I'm still not sure why there's an extra 'e' in "Belles".
Our story is pretty thin, featuring three cosplay girls who go into a rundown Santa-themed amusement park for some social media material, only to run into the malevolent Krampus and the jolly old (biker) Santa, fortunately played by Barry Bostwick to keep this movie at least somewhat entertaining.
The main girls are Alexi (Kristina Klebe, who seems to have a thing for holiday horror), Dahlia, and Sadie (who's apparently an actual cosplay/influencer Hannah Minx), and these girls are written as paper-thin characters, but at least they like to showcase their boobs, because what else have they got going for them?
For a movie executive produced by Darren Lynn Bousman, you would expect more gore, on-screen kills, and maybe just a tiny bit more nudity, but nope. The budget for this turkey must have been pretty low if none of that could be accomplished, but whatever. You can tell right away that this movie is going to be dumb as shit, and if you expect anything else from a Barry Bostwick movie, you better get the fuck out of here.
