About

If you want a Christmas slasher with an antihero edge, dark humor, and a steady stream of violent payback, this should hit the spot; Not for you if you dislike grim tones or slow builds like Maniac.

Pros: dark holiday twist; fun, bloody set pieces; strong lead performances | Cons: slow start; uneven pacing; basic dialogue, thin plot
