The Nights Before Christmas

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.

Mr. And Mrs. Clause have a naughty by-nature list of names. They meet personally with those on the list and send them away to their finality. Feds and police try to make a link between the events and seem like they are always several steps behind.

Nothing extraordinary happens in this sluggish slasher. As far as I could tell, not even one person or police fired a round to end Mr. & Mrs. Clauses' affairs.

In the slasher horror movie types, there are usually expectedly unexpected scenes where the element of surprise gives an advantage to the culprits whilst slashing their victims. However, it's not the case here, except for the second victim. With the cutlery in their hands, they talk and bore the victims to death.

Consequently, it is hard to buy into the story. It's just not believable.

The Nights Before Christmas This movie I can definitely recommend to anyone. There isn't anything bad about this movie, really. The actors play well and the characters are built even better. I cannot express how good this is. 10/10

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.

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.
