    “Then he got an idea. An awful idea.
    The Grinch had a wonderful, awful idea”

    I’m shocked. Never in my wildest fever dreams would I EVER expect some cheap Grinch knock-off would actually be… kinda good? A budget picture for sure, but while something like Pooh Bear’s Blood & Honey was too concerned with being edgy and try-hard shocking, the creatives behind this lil’ homage made it fun skirting around the Dr. Seuss-ian material in clever ways.

    Punish... Punish... PUNISH!

    Hey nuns, maybe the kid who watched his parents get butchered by Santa, shouldn't be a part of Christmas arts and crafts, just sayin'. What do you expect... Poor Billy, first his parents get sliced up, then he gets stuck with a bunch of nuns, beaten with a belt, tied to a bed, and gets made to sit on Santa's lap!
