“The Mean One” (* out of four) was a terrible one about a girl (Krystle Martin) whose parents are murdered by a bloodthirsty figure (David Howard Thornton) in a Santa suit and she realizes it is up to her to put an end to his brutal reign and save the Christmas holidays. Chintzy and uninspired horror thriller offers almost no horror or thrills and more than lives up to its title. Incredibly, this was based on Dr. Seuss’ classic “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” but seems instead like it was inspired by the evil works of Scrooge.
