The Mean One hits theaters on Dec. 9, 2022.
Steven LaMorte's The Mean One is just another in a long line of no-budget indies that drum overnight hype thanks to a bonkers title or outlandish trailer, never with the production capabilities to deliver on marquee excitement. Writers Flip and Finn Kobler challenge the boundaries of unauthorized parody legalese by turning Dr. Seuss' grumpy Christmas party pooper — The Grinch — into a cold-hearted slasher villain. It's the fourth feature film adaptation of How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, claiming never to use language from the literature to abide by parody standards. Instead, LaMorte's cast and crew fumble through a Christmas hack-n-slash marred by ugly digital effects — here’s hoping you're sloshed on nog or mesmerized by the green meanie, so the film's quality matters less and less.
Stunt actor Krystle Martin stars as Cindy You-Know-Who, returning to her hometown of Newville 20 years after her the murder of her mother on Christmas Eve. Cindy knows what she saw that night — a puke-green bastard dressed as Santa. Sheriff Hooper (Erik Baker) never caught the Christmas killer since leads about an inhuman mongrel met dead ends. Newville bans Christmas decorations and celebrations to keep townsfolk safe in the meantime — until Cindy's father, Lou (Flip Kobler), hangs tinsel and lights to spark a little holiday spirit, but instead instigates another yuletide massacre in Newville.

Worst of all, it's an inept slasher that fails the justification of its parody — maniacal brutality. The Mean One abuses animated effects, whether that's an inexcusable majority of blood splatters, laughable bullet holes, or atrocious aquarium fish — did I even spy a digital tear on an actor's cheek? Maybe LaMorte intentionally aimed for cartoonish...
The Mean One is a string of on-screen letdowns that wastes its still befuddlingly risky parody potential. Stacking The Mean One against Terrifier 2 — both David Howard Thornton vehicles, both trying their luck theatrically — is like watching a "Do This, Not That" lesson in Slasher Appreciation 101. Did I chuckle at a few lines that twist Dr. Seuss'...

Dec 9, 2022 · 6/10. Really Stupid, Yet Really Fun. So, this movie is a trip to say the least. Lots of cheap blood effects, many deaths, awkward acting, and some weird comedy mixed in with the horror aspect. The makeup is actually pretty good for such a small studio.
