Supposedly one of the worst films of all-time, this is a messy display of bad writing, unforgivable goofiness and enough weirdness that at least offer to some comedic value. If you a major filmgoer like me then you might want to see this just to say you’ve seen a movie with this title.

In “Santa Claus Conquers The Martians”, it gets near Christmas time and Martian kids aren’t happy as they want Santa Claus (John Call) just like the children of Earth. This then makes a group of Martians kidnap Earth’s Santa and instead of him conquering them like the title suggests, he just opens a workshop there and madness occurs. There is no other way to describe it.

The acting and characters are very weak. Santa stays jolly all of the time, even when people attempt to kill him. Did Santa bang his head recently? The two innocent Earth children in it are very dull and depressing virtually all of the time. They just make Santa’s happiness even more inappropriate. The rest of the characters are excessively weak too. Also, you have a polar bear that walks more like a human and one of the worst robots you’ll ever see in a sci-fi movie.

“Santa Claus Conquers The Martians” isn’t one of the worst films I’ve ever seen as it does have some comedic value but it’s still really bad. Like “Robot Monster” and other memorable low budget films, it’s clearly bad on purpose and with a title like this you know what you are going to get so I wasn’t disappointed in that respect. If you are just an average moviegoer, stay clear of this one and certainly don’t whip it on at Christmas when you have your big family gathering as I somehow suspect they might not stay for turkey.
