Thanks to some masochistic urge to return the world of Full Moon from when I was 15, I watched this when it debuted on the Sci Fi Channel. It is beyond awful which is surprising because director Ted Nicolau can usually deliver a solid B-movie. The plot is a carbon copy of HALLOWEEN III (here Satan worshiping toymakers create toys that will awaken on Xmas morning and kill) but without the style or suspense. Corey Feldman is the lead (that is a HUGE red flag right there) and hams it up terribly. The effects work, usually one of the more enjoyable aspects of these films, is pathetic. I guess I got what I deserved. Shame on Band for selling the rights for this one off flick. I never thought I would say this but this is a disgrace to both franchises.
