SYNOPSIS: 

HOLIDAYS is an anthology feature film that puts a uniquely dark and original spin on some of the most iconic and beloved holidays of all time. The film challenges our folklore, traditions and assumptions, making HOLIDAYS a celebration of the horror on those same special days' year after year. A collaboration of some of Hollywood's most distinct voices, the directors include Kevin Smith (Tusk), Gary Shore (Dracula Untold), Scott Stewart (Dark Skies), Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer (Starry Eyes), Sarah Adina Smith (The Midnight Swim), Nicholas McCarthy (The Pact), Adam Egypt Mortimer (Some Kind of Hate), and Anthony Scott Burns (Darknet).

REVIEW: 

Don't let the trailers fool you, this was not a fun movie to watch.
I had high hopes for a fun, comedic horror film anthology when I saw Seth Green in the trailer and Kevin Smith was attached, but it was an incredible disappointment that was difficult to finish. It seemed like in order to include your film in this anthology you had to write the script while high, since they seemed to give off a drug induced vibe.
They were written poorly with bad dialogue, stupid stories, and directed like someone who thought they were pretty darn special. The stories were all fairly horrible, with only two that were minimally entertaining being Christmas (the one with Seth Green) and New Years. Kevin Smith's story about Halloween was so disappointing with a silly story and pretty bad dialogue -- that's why I thought it must have been written high.
I really miss the smart dialogue from long ago Kevin Smith. The other directors just seemed like they wanted to be cool and artsy and failed at both. However, it was nice that after each little story, they listed the writer and director so you know who to blame for such crapitude.
I would definitely say wait until its free so you can shut it off before its done without feeling guilty for wasting the money.

Let It Snow

2020

A soft horror film produced in Ukraine, very beautiful on a visual level thanks to the spectacular locations in Georgia... a glacial setting, which instills no small amount of anguish and chill in the heart. Filmed in a classic style, it is a rather simple and short story that flows quickly without leaving any particular shivers, but some scenes are particularly anxiety-inducing and an unbearable and disturbing Christmas song acts as a background. The protagonist Ivanna Sakhno is very good.

Halloween Ends

2022

The film closes the David Gordon Green trilogy that began in 2018 and continued in 2021 with Halloween Kills, it is branded Blumhouse and this should be the last chapter (but will it really be like that we all wonder) of the saga that began in 1978 by John Carpenter. The era of Michael Myers ends, the most irrepressible killer in the history of horror cinema ever, mentor of every bloodthirsty masked homicidal maniac who came after him. There is certainly the intent to pay homage to the dark atmospheres of the progenitor film but also the desire to surprise, by inserting an... Read More

Immaculate

2024

Religious horror without demoniacs or exorcisms, played by the new American movie star Sydney Sweeney who also produces here and is the fulcrum of this film... she is perfect in the role with her angelic face that however in the ending, now a cult of this film, is transfigured thus becoming a great "scream queen" almost on the level of Isabelle Adjani in "Possession". Bloody tribute to the European horror of the 70s but more interested in the psychological aspect of the genre, it has the merit of showing without reticence the ecclesiastical community as a bunch of...

The Deep House

2021

Yet another reinterpretation of haunted houses but rather original because the ghosts emerge from the bottom of the abyss this time. A high-tension film that involves you in first person... together with the protagonists we will always be underwater and we will feel like we can't breathe, we will feel trapped without the possibility of resurfacing... Highly not recommended for those who suffer from hydrophobia. The film is technically excellent and visually very beautiful and even if the story is simple and the characters stereotyped it still does not bore, perhaps also... Read More

Old

2021

Adaptation of a French graphic novel "Sand Castle" that Shyamalan wanted to make at all costs but with little means available. It is a low-budget film, and this is evident from the, unfortunately, anonymous cast. Too bad with at least one star as the protagonist surely the final result would have been even more interesting, however excellent psychological thriller/horror, distressing and at times chilling even if there is little of true horror ... It is an allegorical film that makes you reflect on critical themes for everyone such as the nature of time that passes... Read More
