Killer Holiday

I wanted to like this movie, I really did. But it just didn't have what it takes to be a good movie. Horror films, especially B Horror (and I love B Horror) really needs to pick the pace up quickly. And if you aren't gonna have some deaths early on then at least show us a bit of back story. This movie had one death early on then nothing for 40 minutes. The actors did great. They didn't sound fake or like they were , well, acting.They did great considering the script they had to work with. The filming it's self was adequate(with the exception of the quick flash backs and sudden black and white bits)It was purely the story line that spoiled this movie. It's okay, but not great.

If you are a lover of great horror thrillers, and have any sense of film history you could not enjoy Killer Holiday more. For a very low budget Lionsgate movie, it screens like a 5 million dollar film. A large cast, with diversed locations, the movie delivers a large bounty for the movie goer. Bought it for my sister as a Halloween gift.

Just recently bought this and overall it was pretty average. It's along the lines of Dark Ride and The Funhouse, which were better. I enjoyed the cast and the setting. The kills were kind of bloody and there is a couple unique death scenes as well. However, there were a couple plot holes that were not explained very well, especially when they showed scenes about the killers childhood. I enjoyed the twist towards the end though. A fact i learned about when watched the making of the film, one of the teen actors, Alex Mandel, is the son of Howie Mandel. In my opinion, i feel like they should of picked someone scarier to play the role of spider. Michael Copon did okay, but just didn't give me chills. All in all, it wasn't a bad film, it's worth a watch.

Killer holiday is a poor excuse for a thriller movie. You realize within 5 minutes of watching this movie it is going to be a flop.

Long story short, there is a crazy guy going around killing people. The movie has very few thrilling experiences. There are many poorly executed 'thrilling' scenes due to being a low budget movie. The story line is very stereotypical with nothing new.

All the actors are unknown. I think one or two try their best with little success.

Overall, this is a poor quality movie and I would not waste your time watching it. I think a 2 is fair.

This movie is an example of what I like to call "The New Wave of Slasher Films" that I've been renting lately: Killer Holiday -- It's like your young novice Director's starting his first project for college and whatever and he decides to throw together My personal favorite slasher film --The Funhouse-- along with The Hills Have Eyes and add a dash of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The Director definitely knew how to get the most out of the props and settings that were available and, at times, tried to get that garish carnival Funhouse look going as if I had traveled back in time to some seedy Drive-In and was watching a new slasher film released back in the old glory days of such films! At the same time this film felt retro/slasher . . . it also had a modern edge to it that I liked! It actually made me smile in a sinister way, because I know these guys have the right influence of classic slasher and torture porn .... This movie will probably end up being one of this generations late-night slasher films that you watched and scared your girl-friend with, or, you watched from behind the couch when your parent's told you to go to bed!
