Is it worth buying? YES!
First off I would like to say that the picture quality of this is not the greatest (fullframe transfer,7 out of 10). The audio is also below par (constant crackling). There are no bonus features aside from an optional scene selector and a pics gallery of frozen frames from the film.
Even with these various handicaps this film was still able to charm it's way into my heart. A masked mad man is killing off anyone dressed as Santa Claus. There is plenty of gore, a high body count, and some beautiful naked women. It's a fantastic 80's slasher film. If you hate Christmas this is a special treat not to be passed up.

I Saw Someone Killin' Santa Claus...
It's Christmas-time in London, and someone is killing people dressed as Santa Claus. Yep, there's a psycho loose! DOTC is yet another entry in the christmas horror / thriller sub-genre. However, unlike Silent Night Deadly Night or Christmas Evil, this time the murderer is a plainclothes sicky who hunts down St. Nick impersonators, bumping them off in grizzly ways including impalement and urinal-side castration! So, if you absolutely hate the hustle-bustle of holiday shopping, or just want to see many faux santas slaughtered, this is your cup of nog! P.S.- I particularly enjoyed Kate (Belinda Mayne), the beautiful heroine of the movie. She's sort of a bizarre cross between Jane Fonda and Marilyn Chambers. Ho! Ho! Ho!...

First five star review
I was reading a Christmas triva book and they had this film in there. It sounded like a good movie, so I checked it out to see if it was on dvd. The price is still up, even for a used copy. However, its well worth the price you pay for the film. The story is simple and I liked the flow of the film, and there is plenty of good kills. I'd check it out but here are a few flaws I noticed with the film

The picture is viewable but could have been cleaned up a bit.

There a few scenes that cut away. Since this is my first time viewing this film, I do not know if this version is edited of content.

Other then that, the film is fine. I like the trailers for older films and wish they could have added that as well.
