Obediah Lazarus is the son of Judah Lazarus, the original Hanukiller. In 1983, Judah terrorized NY for seven nights and was preparing to sacrifice his eight-year-old son, Obediah, on the eighth night. Judah was convinced it was God’s will, like Abraham and Isaac, to sacrifice his only son to God. Luckily for Obediah, police tracked Judah down and stopped the sacrifice, but Judah was gunned down in the process. Warped by hatred with no guidance, Obediah Lazarus becomes a religious extremist, intolerant of non-Jews, “bad Jews”, and those he perceives to be enemies of the Jewish faith. He is about to unleash eight nights of horror. A group of Jewish teens are getting ready to party for the holidays, but are in for a Festival of Frights. With the help of a wise Rabbi, they deduce that the murder victims have violated Judaic law and that their only chance at survival is to embrace their faith. (Invincible Pictures)

Hanukkah could only be described as an incoherent conglomeration of scenes, which was perhaps initially meant as a festive slasher on the theme of Hanukkah and Judaism in general. The result, however, is just an unbearably prolonged collage of low-budget hell which I barely managed to watch till the end. It stretched so badly—out of the 106 minutes, some 50 minutes should have been left out! Sometimes, it was a horror movie, sometimes it tried to be a comedy, however both lack harmony, humour and atmosphere… What’s the point? I almost exclusively watched it for Dick Miller and, after the first thirty minutes, I already thought about switching it off as soon as his act would end. But since rabbi Walter Paisley does not appear until right before the closing credits, I stayed for the whole duration of that endless torture. RIP cult masters Sid Haig & Dick Miller. And no more of Eben McGarr, please!
