The Nights Before Christmas

This movie contains's nudity, you see women in scantily dress clothing then a women come's out in a white robe she opens the robe she turns backward you can see she is wearing a thong she turns around her hair is hanging down but you can see her breast and nipples are clearly in view she is doing a strip tease tpye movements. I turned it off so I don't know how much more nudity is in the movie. The movie on IMD has no info that it has nudity it has a rating of TVMA so we tried to give it a chance but turned it off when this scene came up. I like IMD but when it come to TVMA movies there is no info on many of the movie's.

The Nights Before Christmas (2019) is a Canadian 🇨🇦 holiday/horror film currently available on Tubi. The story follows a couple who meet in an asylum, escape, and embark on a killing spree while posing as Mr. And Mrs. Claus. A determined detective sets out to stop their reign of terror.

Directed by Paul Tanter (Stealing Chaplin), the film stars Simon Phillips (Survive the Game), Sayla de Goede (Silent Bite), Keegan Chambers (Age of the Living Dead), and Kate Schroder (All I Didn't Want for Christmas).

Unfortunately, the film's decision to lean into a Joker-and-Harley-Quinn-inspired dynamic for Mr. And Mrs. Claus makes the writing feel derivative and uninspired. That said, Santa's menacing look is a highlight and adds a cool, sinister edge. However, the acting, writing, and dialogue feel low-budget, as do the cinematography and kill scenes. The lackluster execution of the kills is particularly disappointing, as stronger sequences could have made this a more entertaining experience.

In conclusion, The Nights Before Christmas has a few moments that work, but they're overshadowed by its flaws. I'd score this a 3.5/10 and recommend skipping it.

Not bad for a Christmas horror film! I'm excited to watch the first one now. I'm hoping there's another sequel. I think more can be explained, this was a great movie!

In my book the first chapter called "once upon a time at christmas" was a solid santa slasher flick with it's flaws and it's positives and the most similar to the silent night deadly night film although not as good still as that great 1984 film was.

Still it had it's moments and it took itself seriously as far as plot conserns but showing the fbi and the cops so....helpless against this santa was kind of....hilarius.

Anyhow......if u wanted to find a serious kind of santa slasher close enough to SNDN then this film is for you but not it's sequel we are talking in this review. The sequel is a bore repetitive of the first film that eventually tire you watching it so u can skip it and stick to the superior first film.

While the 2019 movie "The Nights Before Christmas" was dark and gritty, it was not an overly outstanding movie. Sure, it was watchable, but the movie just didn't really cut it - pardon the pun - in terms of being a properly entertaining horror movie.

So why was that? Well, mostly because the movie was predictable, but also because the storyline was just way too generic. It felt like writers Simon Phillips and Paul Tanter were playing it way too safe and going for something that had been done many times before this movie. Sure, it worked well enough, but at the same time it was restricting the movie from being more than less than mediocre.

The characters in the movie were cliché, and as such it was just a bit difficult to really establish any connections with them. The Santa Claus character was interesting enough, albeit generic, and actor Simon Phillips definitely helped to bring the character to life on the screen. As for Mrs. Claus, played by Sayla de Goede, was just too much of a clone of the Harley Quinn character.

"The Nights Before Christmas" is not a contender for becoming neither a Christmas classic nor a slasher classic. It is the type of movie that you watch once - probably because you got lured in by the movie's cover - and then never will shed a single thought to the movie ever again.

My rating of the 2019 movie "The Nights Before Christmas" lands on a four out of ten stars. It was watchable, sure, but it was ultimately a less than mediocre movie at best.
