75 - Santa Claus Conquers The Martians

    Martian children are fascinated with Santa Claus.  Martians come to Earth and kidnap Santa and two children, hoping to change martian society.
    One of these weird movies that I’ve had on my queue for more than a year.  It’s a strange movie, and not just because of the weird plot.  The acting is strange.  The script is really weird.  There are a lot of comic moments, but it never feels clear if they intend them to be legitimately funny, or if they’re supposed to be unfunny.
    The most interesting thing about this is that it comes across like a “let’s put on a show” kind of production.  Cheap costumes, ridiculous dialogue, weird, poorly decorated sets.  There’s something charming about it, as if a bunch of people got together to put this movie together, and weren’t looking to be successful, just to have a good time.
