Mandie and the Forgotten Christmas (2011)

Mandie is back and as terrible as ever in this sad excuse for a Christmas film. Most of the actors from the first two movies are replaced, and Mandie herself has been recast, but everyone is still completely incapable of acting. This is actually based on Mandie and the Forbidden Attic, but a Christmas plot was shoehorned in, presumably because they thought it would sell more DVDs.

The original story is one of the more dark and creepy Mandie tales, but they completely re-wrote it to the point of it no longer making sense. Generally speaking combining a privileged rich girl with a pretty awful tale of abuse and neglect isn't a good idea, but if the people making these movies had good ideas, they would probably know that movies are supposed to have things happen in them. At least my torture is done....for now.
