there’s only one thing that defines every unconventional christmas movie: a rejection of everything you’d get from a conventional christmas movie. genres vary, though they tend toward the violent or perverse; there are a surprising number of christmas-themed horror movies (including no fewer than seven that feature a murderous santa claus), and several of the best action films ever made. these 9 offbeat christmas films may run counter to the “tidings and good cheer” of the season, and it’s tough to imagine sitting down with grandma and a mug of cocoa for a film like santa’s slay. but for anyone who barely survives a stressful day of christmas shopping, or suffers through an endless, obligatory ugly sweater party, the unconventional christmas movie is the perfect remedy.
能表明这是一部非常规圣诞影片的唯一一个特征就是：它抛弃了所有你从传统圣诞影片中看到的一切。虽然它们都有暴力和堕落倾向，但是流派各式各样；以圣诞为主题的恐怖片数目惊人（包括不少于7部的影片是关于凶残的圣诞老人的），而且也有一些很棒的动作片。这9部离奇的圣诞影片可能与节日里“兴高采烈”的潮流背道而驰，而且我们也很难想象端着可乐和祖母一起看《圣诞杀戮》是什么一个情景。但是对于任何一个从圣诞血拼高压中或是挨过连续而丑陋的毛衣派对才勉强得以过活的人来说，这些非常规影片可是非常不错的康复药方哦。
