It's a Wonderful Knife

Not very well written, or well thought out. It seemed like they came up with a cool title and idea, then rushed it into production. The dialogue sounds like it came from a first draft and was very hard to take seriously.

The slasher element isn't very interesting because you know who it is from the trailer/opening scene. The jokes aren't all that funny either. Which puts this movie in a very grey in-between of being oddly watchable, yet unbearable all at the same time.

Felt like a straight to streaming movie yet I saw it in a theater so props to the studio for that I suppose. Haven't been a fan of these types of slashers though with Totally Killer and the like.

This was cute and pretty basic overall. It felt like it was definitely geared towards a younger audience. It was generally but lightly engaging and nothing spectacular really. I never felt bored but won't remember this 6 months from now most likely. You have definitely seen something that has a similar vibe and plot at some point in your life.

The acting was decent all around for what it was, the picture quality was nice and the pacing was decent. Overall there isn't too much to say about this one . It is definitely something fine to put on around Christmas and it's good enough to have a fun time with, just not a classic by any means. Would recommend.

I want to defend this movie's honor. I can't believe I just typed that sentence. But It's a Wonderful Knife seems, perhaps, a bit misunderstood.

First of all, it's absolutely meant to be ridiculous. If that wasn't clear by the title, you definitely should not watch this. But it pokes fun at classic slasher tropes and Hallmark films, while using its biggest influence (It's a Wonderful Life) in a creative, horrific, and heartwarming way.

It's not a deep film - of course it isn't - but don't close your eyes to the little digs at toxic positivity and following a rich, charismatic leader blindly. Those are fun little dashes of social commentary, like a delicious, unexpected seasoning on what you thought was going to just be a sugarcoated treat.

I don't normally do reviews but this one had so many bad reviews I felt I should add one on what I think.

. I liked it. I thought it was cute. It had a rather uplifting story about how anyone can make a difference and how important family can be.

It wasn't really a horror movie, it was more about how helping one person can make a difference in their life.

The main character was very likable and the bad guy was somebody you couldn't wait to see killed.

The characters may be may have been over the top, but it made the story interesting watching.

I think it's a good movie for somebody who just wants to watch a Christmas story with a little bit of horror.

We saw this as our local theaters "mystery movie" where we get to watch a movie before it comes out for a discount, without knowing what movie we're going to see. It started out as a promising comedy/slasher spin on "It's a Wonderful Life", but as the movie went on it made less and less sense and went from slapstick funny to just dumb. Instead of just an alternative spin on the main characters life, the second half tried to incorporate supernatural elements to explain the ridiculous plot twists but they just didn't work and fell flat. Even at $5 watching this movie just wasn't worth it. I can watch better movies on streaming services at home.
