The story is by Campfield and co-producer Joe Randazzo.

Release

The fifth in Campfield's Caesar and Otto series, the film premiered at the 2012 "Fright Night Film Fest" in Louisville, Kentucky on June 30, 2012. The film has gone on to receive awards and nominations at several film festivals.

The film was picked up for North American DVD distribution by "Wild Eye Releasing" and was released on November 19, 2013.

Reception

Bloody Disgusting said, "it’s not bad and it’s not that great either – but for that sub sub sub sub genre it lies within, it is probably better than the majority of films it is surrounded by."

A contemporary review at HorroNews found that "This is a tiny film with a tiny budget that looks and feels like it cost much more than it actually did (there is even a nifty little animated sequence). Campfield once again wore numerous hats on the production and he too has grown as a filmmaker. His rapid fire editing technique during several sequences reminded me of the way Russ Meyer used to cut his films. The pacing is right where it needs to be and the films effects are used appropriately and humorously. "

A review at DVD talk stated " There's many callbacks to 80s horror movies, including perennial horror favorite Linnea Quigley as Caesar's agent and a flashback scene with Troma's Lloyd Kaufman as Caesar's grandfather, doing his own take on the grandfather in Silent Night, Deadly Night which explains why Caesar is still a little afraid of Santa Claus now. The production is a very low-budget affair, but those involved try to make that work for them rather than against them."

HorrorHound magazine stated in their issue 39 review of the film that "the budget is obviously low, but the filmmaking is brilliant."Шаблон:Citation needed
