Director: Nicholas Webster
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Suitably tacky tale of how some depressed Martians kidnap Santa to brighten things up at home. A staple after-midnight cult movie, this hilariously bad stab at sci-fi naturally earned a high position in the book The Fifty Worst Movies of All Time. One of the Martian kids appropriately grew up to be Pia Zadora, the pouter pigeon of the equally awful Butterfly and Lonely Lady.Author: CR
