Infinite Santa 8000: A Christmas Cup of Utter Madness
So I watched *Infinite Santa 8000* the other night, and let me tell you, this ain’t your usual cozy Christmas flick with Julmust and gingerbread. It’s more like if Santa Claus went turbo in a dystopian Sweden after a really bad day. Imagine Mad Max meeting… well, a very jaded Christmas evening. Totally bonkers, but hey, that’s sometimes what makes cinema interesting, right?
Directed by Michael Neel, whom some of you might recognize from his wild visions in *Drive Angry*, this film has no major Hollywood names. But don’t let that fool you – the voice acting and animation pull you into a crazy, apocalyptic romp that is difficult to ignore, even if sometimes it feels more like an art experiment that went completely off rails. You’re on a ride, and you better hold on tight, if you know what I mean.
Now, why would anyone even come up with a movie like this? Halfway through, I remembered an old Julafton from my childhood when my uncle showed me some weird, futuristic Scandinavian cartoons. Sure, they made little sense, but they were fascinating, kind of like this movie. Made you question what Christmas spirit might become if society went haywire. Scary, but in an oddly hilarious way.
But if you’re looking for some deep, soul-stirring Christmas message, maybe don’t hold your breath. This film’s more about the *röj!* It’s both scary and satirical, the type of thing we Swedes might call “skräckblandad förtjusning.” It’s a fearless takedown of traditional holiday norms, I think, or maybe just a chaotic joyride meant to entertain with no strings attached.
So, if you’re in the mood for something off the beaten path, maybe after a few glasses of glögg, give this wild Santa adventure a go. Or not, it’s a free world, sort of like this movie’s wild universe. трresäntricularlyen bröding!
