    Abominable Advent Calendar Day 11: The Last Shark (1981)

    Imagine if someone tried to remake Jaws, but did it wonderfully, riotously, jaw-droppingly wrong. That's the Last Shark—a near-perfect crapsterpiece.

    Abominable Advent Calendar Day 10: Fantasy Mission Force (1983)

    Behind Abominable Advent Calendar Door 10, a ragtag bunch of reluctant and ridiculous heroes takes on a dangerous mission to rescue four generals held by the Japanese in Luxemburg during WWII. Naturally they face Amazons, cannibals, and jiangshi. As you do. In Luxemburg.

    Abominable Advent Calendar Day 9: Fatal Deviation (1998)

    James Bennett, writer and star of Fatal Deviation, can imitate Jean-Claude Van Damme’s famous splits-in-the-doorway move, but his writing and line delivery have all the energy of a plate of cold chips. And that's what makes this movie glorious.

    Abominable Advent Calendar Day 8: Zachariah (1971)

    Zachariah is an old-west psychedelic rock retelling of Siddhartha. Yeah, you've seen dozens of those, but have you seen one with Don Johnson and a Elvin Jones drum solo?

    Abominable Advent Calendar Day 7: Snowbeast (1977)

    Take Jaws, replace the shark with a wampa, move the setting to a ski resort, and you get Snowbeast, which is like the much bloodier, marginally sexier, grown-up version of Scooby Doo vs. the Snow Ghost.

    Abominable Advent Calendar Day 6: Little Red Riding Hood and the Monsters (1962)

    K Gordon Murray’s Little Red Riding Hood and the Monsters, behind Abominable Advent Calendar Door 6, is ostensibly a children’s movie, but it’s really a dark morality tale under a thin veneer of fantasy, musical numbers, and blatant disregard for fire safety.
