Christmas

A Christmas Horror Story (2015)

I have to admit, I’m a bit disappointed by this movie. Okay, a lot disappointed.

A Creature Was Stirring (2023)

This movie is just weird. I’m not sure it deserves four stars, but it kept me entertained, which is more than I can say for some other movies lately.

All the Creatures Were Stirring (2018)

It’s been a while since I’ve watched an anthology movie, and…I was not impressed with this. I thought it was going to be better.

Black Christmas (2019)

I’m a little frustrated because I feel like this film was SO CLOSE to being a five-star film, but its pacing was way off. They saved the interesting and action-packed parts for the last 20 minutes while dragging some of the other themes on too long? And I think that was a mistake.

Black Christmas (2006)

Remember how I said I hoped the cast of this one could hold a candle to the cast of the original? Of course you do; that was yesterday.

Black Christmas (1974)

I was surprised by how much I liked this movie. I shouldn’t have been, because I love Christmas and slasher films, but for some reason I had low expectations for this. I’m happy to say it exceeded those expectations.

Dead End (2003)

I loved this movie. I mean, of course I loved this movie. It’s got Ray Wise and Lin Shaye and a strange, silly plot. What better present for Christmas Eve?

Holiday Hell (2019)

This is a bad movie. There’s an argument to be made that it’s so bad it’s good, but…you’d have to do a LOT of arguing. So why am I rating it three full stars? Jeffrey Combs. Literally the third star is just for Jeffrey Combs.

It's a Wonderful Knife (2023)

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! This was a seasonally-appropriate film, but it wasn’t as good as I’d have liked.

Jack Frost (1997)

I’d never seen this one before, so it was finally time to get around to it. Honestly I knew it was going to be good from the start, with the fake kid’s voice and the ridiculous narration and the hilarious camera angles…I knew this was going to be a ride for sure.

Krampus (2015)

This was another fun holiday horror movie, and I’m kind of glad I waited to watch it until it was Christmas this year. Merry Christmas, by the way, if that’s your thing.

Santa's Slay (2005)

I’ve only gotten about two hours of sleep in the past 36, so I’ll be quick here.

Silent Night (2021)

It’s Christmas Eve! I should have picked something a little scarier or a little more relevant, but I started this and was too lazy to swap it out for something else, so we’re all stuck with this.

Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)

It is cold and dry when I’m watching this, and honestly that’s kind of how I feel about this movie? My eyes are tearing up trying to hold on to some moisture but this movie kind of makes me want to cry…from boredom?

The Advent Calendar (2021)

A new day, a new December. And a new movie just in time to start your own advent calendar? I have complicated feelings about this one.

The Children (2008)

Wow, it’s been almost another full year. Just this movie and tomorrow’s, and then it’s 2025! I’m glad I mostly liked this movie, and we’ll see how tomorrow’s goes…

The Lodge (2020)

For better or worse (mostly better, I think), it’s been a while since I’ve watched an endlessly dark and bleak film. This movie ends that streak with a bang (umm… apologizes in spoiler).
