Stars: Timothy Paul McCarthy, Seth O’Shea, Sigourney McAuley, Ry Barrett, Jessica Vano, Ian Dyck, Robert Nolan, Storm Steenson, Ian Goff | Written and Directed by Michael Pereira
The Chamber of Terror begins with Nash Caruthers, excuse me, Mr. Nash Fucking Caruthers, sealing the still living Tyler Ackerman (Seth O’Shea), second in command of the Ackerman crime family, up in a coffin.
A month later the tables turn and Nash finds himself captured by Casey (Sigourney McAuley) and Lennox pair of goons working for Tyler’s sister Ava. From there he’s tossed into the Ackerman family’s torture facility, the titular The Chamber of Terror, where Dr. Killian (Ian Dyck; Improbabilia) awaits him.
Up until this point, The Chamber of Terror looks like a strange crime film of some sort It’s like an over-the-top version of a Tarantino film with its off-kilter take on a standard plot and bizarre characters.

This uncalled-for parody features a sparky cast, but there’s an excess of smut and the festive fun soon fizzles out
The syrupy Hallmark Christmas movie isn’t exactly top of the list for pressing satirical targets – but we’re getting a parody anyway, courtesy of this oppressively ironic Canadian film co-written and directed by Jake Horowitz. “Whatever you do, don’t fall in love with some small-town, eight-out-of-10 stranger and find the true meaning of Christmas,” plucky big-city magazine writer Mary (Storm Steenson) is warned by her boss – thereby rendering plot summary superfluous as she is dispatched to her home town Snowy Heights to get the generic scoop.
This sort of knowing snark is briefly fun, as Mary meets the townsfolk. The eight-out-of-10 is Chris (Alexander Oliver), owner of local cafe Cup of Cheer, whose brother Keith (Liam Marshall) is a pole-dancing elf. Sheriff Rudolph (Steve Kasan) is “the...

"Is that a candy cane or are you just happy to see me?" Ohhh boy. IndieCan Ent from up in Canada has also released an official trailer for a comedy titled Cup of Cheer, from Toronto filmmaker Jake Horowitz. "Yuk it up this November with a riotously funny new satire of every cheesy Christmas Movie you've ever seen!" A wacky new comedy in the tradition of classics spoofs Flying High!, Airplane, and The Naked Gun, Cup of Cheer arrives on VOD this November. A big city journalist goes to a small town for the holidays and finds herself in an unlikely romance with the owner of a struggling hot cocoa shop. Cup of Cheer stars Storm Steenson as Mary, plus Steve Kasan, Shawn Vincent, Adam Jenner, Liam Marshall, & Alexander Oliver. Sad to say this looks awful. I guess they just don't make spoof comedies like they used to anymore. Here's...
