About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want goofy, bloody holiday terror and don’t mind jumpy interwoven stories; Not for you if you need a tightly coherent anthology—especially if you preferred Krampus or Trick 'r Treat’s setup and flow.
Pros: holiday horror fun; interwoven tales; some standout scares | Cons: messy pacing; uneven stories; CGI gore complaints
