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!
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
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.
Here are the top 5 santa involved slashers in my book
silent night deadly night 1 and 2
santa's slay
christmas evil
black christmas trilogy

Wasn't unwatchably bad, but fairly bad. The actress playing "Mrs. Claus" seems to have based her character on a blend of Harley Quinn and Baby from House of 1000 Corpses and didn't come off very well at all being so blatantly obvious what she was attempting to do. The lead FBI agent was trying way too hard to pull off a "Clarice Starling" but failed miserably and seemed to be reading her lines, pretty much like most of the other actors. Story was fairly predictable but was still just okay. Seems to be pretty common with the films where the directors, producers, writers act in their films. I wouldn't recommend watching it, but I wouldn't steer you away from it either.
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.
