Santa Claus Conquers the Martians Review

Review of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964) by screenqueeen: 👍 2/5

Part of December's Terrible Christmas Movie Challenge

This must have been the greatest saving grace for parents. They could park their kids in front of the TV around Christmas-time and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians would come on, occupying all of their attention and glee.

The characters motivations turn on a dime, the plot vaporizes 30 minutes in (if that long) and there are so many loose ends that you just get overwhelmed trying to remember where the movie first got lost. At least the only saving grace is Santa Claus' character, since he makes almost every scene he's in worth it.

But hey, the kid loves it!
