Holidays is a fun romp with flashes of brilliance.

Some of the films are haunting, some of them more macabre, but all of them play with holiday symbolism in way that will make viewers rethink a lot of their favorite celebrations.

While each entry satisfies in its own unique way, the anthology as a whole makes for an impressive examination of distaff fears and underestimated ferocity.

Like a family dinner with an eccentric uncle, Holidays’ quirkiness is fitfully entertaining, but ultimately exhausting.

Not bad enough to dissuade prospective viewers' from their curiosity. In fact, the whole feather-light affair is practically redeemed by a single entry: writer/director Anthony Scott Burns' superbly spooky Father's Day segment.

The uneven collection is guaranteed to permanently tarnish at least one of your favorite days.

The film mostly feels perfunctory and awkward — like calling home at Christmas.

Every short exudes a commercially slick anonymity that effectively flattens any potential excitement.
