Stalking Santa

Stalking Santa is the result of a half clever idea that has been completely destroyed by a lack of imagination, humour and overall film making talent. Dr. Lloyd Darrow, a self-confessed 'Santologist tries to prove the existence of Santa by researching (google) and talking to shopping mall Santa's. His conspiracy theory ideas are quite clever, such as linking Santa to ancient Egypt and the Roswell crash landing, but ultimately it's over done. If this 'mockumentary' had tried a little harder to pretend to be a real documentary instead of concentrating on a pointless sub-plot involving family members and constantly reminding the audience it's just a silly project from a couple of talentless idiots who like to act up on camera, it could have been something just short of brilliant. A hugely frustrating waste of an opportunity.
