When a mysterious fog (fog FX not depicted) reroutes their resort shuttle, a group of tourists find themselves stranded at an elderly couple's house. They don't realize that it's actually Santa's Summer House, perhaps because the old man looks nothing like Santa and doesn't even have a beard, and the home decor remains unchanged from A Talking Cat!?! (We assume that the house still smells like waffles.)

Voluntarily returning to the mansion where A Talking Cat!?! was filmed may seem as reckless and irresponsible as Wendy Torrance returning to the Overlook Hotel. And while there are no axe-wielding maniacs, there is a trademark DeCoteau catering subplot! Speaking of eating, you probably shouldn't eat anything that fell on the floor of this house, you don't know what kinds of movies they're shooting here after hours...

Santa is played by Hollywood legend Robert Mitchum's son Chris, who may just be the biggest paternal disappointment since Oedipus. Santa attempts to fix his guests' relationship problems; for some reason, this plan involves the longest croquet match in cinema history. To be honest, they might have been better off stranded in The Overlook with no TV and no beer.

Mike, Kevin, and Bill may have been better off at Pirate's World, but they invite you to join them for Santa's Summer House!

The casting for this movie is odd.  You've got martial arts experts/actors, like Gary Daniels, Cynthia Rothrock, and Daniel Bernhardt, but you also have Harry Manfredini handling the music.

Cynthia Rothrock? Yes! I'd prefer another one of her martial arts movies, but this will do.

I remember Obscurus Lupa reviewed this years ago.

Gulp. THAT house.

Can't post in the What Did We Learn thread because I don't think I learned anything. Made for a pretty decent riff, but just god awful as a movie. Could have called it Talking Cat 2 and I likely wouldn't have noticed the lack of a talking cat.

I thoroughly enjoyed this riff! I mean I don't buy ALL the riffs but this one had me laughing for most of the movies rather short run time of 72 minutes. Great riff guys! Great!

I was surprised there weren't any jokes about the tree in the living room wearing red thigh high boots.
