'Tis the Season

About This Movie

'Tis the Season is this curious blend of action and comedy, swirling around a couple of unlikely protagonists. You’ve got Jerry, your typical grouchy low-life, making his way through a chaotic holiday shopping rush, while Alvin, the Christmas-obsessed loser, brings a quirky heart to the mix. The pacing is erratic, bouncing between laugh-out-loud moments and tense encounters with 'Uncle Santa', who’s not your typical jolly figure. The performances are kind of raw, which adds to the film’s charm, and there’s a certain practical effect vibe that feels nostalgic. It’s a wild ride, one that captures the chaos of the season in a decidedly offbeat way.

'Tis the Season has a bit of a niche following, not surprising considering its off-kilter take on holiday themes. It’s not a film that pops up often in collector circles, making it a bit of a gem for those who appreciate oddball holiday flicks. The scarcity of physical formats, particularly on VHS, has sparked interest among collectors who enjoy these unique, lesser-known films. If you're into quirky action-comedies with a holiday twist, this one might just catch your eye.
