Caesar and Otto's Deadly Xmas


There are many things that make Caesar & Otto's Deadly Xmas a great time-it's Christmas themed, the gore is good and plentiful, the laughs aren't completely terrible and the two main characters are likable idiots who kind of just stumble through their situations. It's fun. It also has a fucking mountain of cameos from old school horror icons including Brinke Stevens, Linnea Quigley and Felissa Rose to Robert Z'Dar , Lloyd Kaufman and Shawn C. Phillips (yes, he's actually physically in this film unlike that piece of sewer cake Camp Blood 4) and even wetmovie1 (Youtube) is in it for about three seconds, and I actually pointed at the screen and yelled "holy shit, wetmovie1 is in here?! What the hell?" I thoroughly enjoyed this picture mainly because it didn't even come close to taking itself seriously and I pretty much had a smile on my face the entire run time. The guy that played Caesar and Otto's dad seriously could pass as Alex Lifeson's twin from the band Rush-his acting was few and far between and was dryer than a Walmart chicken breast, but it was still something that added to the overall feel of this flick being fun and entertaining. The plot is dumb which is to be expected with something like Caesar & Otto's Deadly Xmas, and it really just revolves around them getting a job at some shitty basement-run traveling Santa corporation named Xmas Enterprises which ends up being a front for a shitty satanic cult. Otto is obsessed with some mediocre looking chick named Allison that he randomly met fifteen years prior, and he somehow ends up finding her in their journeys passing out fliers for the Xmas Enterprise. Allison lives in a car with her kids and sells used shaving cream on the side of the road. Yeah. How does she even pay her car insurance. Who knows and who cares.

Hang'em high, injun. Hang'em high.

Yeah-she's hot if you like chicks with clown make-up.

Caesar and Otto's Thanksgiving dinner... funded by Dollar Tree.

Damn-Linnea Quigley aged terribly.

   Alex Lifeson sure went downhill after Rush retired.

 Hey, Otto-your hot friend can ride her motorcycle over me if she wants.

Caesar's grandpa is Lloyd Kaufman?! That's fucken awesome!

 You know you're talented when both of your arms have been chopped off and you can still hot-wire a car and drive off with it.

Well hello Roberta Jenkins. Say hello to my penis (ahem).... my friend Johnny.

Yes! Coolduder!

 Linnea: "I was blacklisted." Demian: "For What?" Linnea: "Turning 40."

Wow-just like Silent Night, Deadly Night

I know some of you zits and zombies would rather have more horror than comedy, but if you're in the mood for something that flips that idea then Caesar & Otto's Deadly Xmas was written and produced just for you. There are plenty of horrible jokes, bad puns and wicked slapstick to satiate your funny bone with as well as plenty of gore and people's limbs getting severed by Demian for the horror fiend in you too. It's this special duality that raises the enjoyment of this offering higher than it should, as well as making it feel like a necessity to check out the rest of the Caesar & Otto films once it's all said and said. I hope Linnea really wasn't blacklisted. That would be a drag.
