A Christmas Horror Story [Blu-ray]

If you like anthology films with a great twist - or if you like holiday horror stories, then this made for you. Fans of "Troll Hunter" or "Rare Exports" will feel right at home here.

While the horror Christmas genre isn't a new thing, per se, this movie takes it in a slightly different direction with several intertwined stories. While these vary in quality, they fit together in an interesting way, each exploring a very different aspect. I didn't really like the movie that much until the end when I saw it all come together so I recommend sticking it out until the end. The quality of acting isn't great. Sure, it has William Shatner, but he plays a rather minor bridge character, connecting the stories together. I would say it averages out to B+ acting and special effects grade. Above a typical B movie but not on par with a larger budget film. If the concept of this film intrigues you, I would recommend giving this a watch.

This is an anthology film, but instead of running each story back to back the film instead runs the 4 stories simultaneously. So you go back and forth between each story, William Shatner is in the movie. It is better than most Christmas horror movies and better than what I expected.

A Christmas Horror Story is a fun, frantic, bloody little holiday themed horror anthology, featuring four intertwining stories that take place over Christmas in a snowy little town. Three out of the four stories are great watches, while one of them was a bit of a drag. However, it's well worth watching this one all the way through. The acting was pretty well done, the majority of the effects were practical and gory, and who wouldn't want to watch a showdown betweeen Santa, evil elves, and Krampus? There's a real kicker tucked into this title as well, though I will refrain from further explanation, to avoid spoilers. Blind purchase, so worth the cash spent.

Movie arrived sooner than I expected (and was notified of this via email). Sadly, the movie had some sort of scratch on the case that penetrated through all the layers. (Plastic wrap, plastic on the actual case and the paper with the movie cover :/)

This was actually much better than expected and has become one of my Christmas viewing regulars.

Another Krampus film for the holidays and this one uses bloody violence instead of creepiness which is predominant in the big theatrical release. It's 4 interwinding stories that are very well done. My problem is with the changeling story. How does the main female character explain things to the police and her son? (This was left up in the air). But the entire film is a bloody good time and it does have William Shatner in it. PS>I think the Krampus in this one is awesome.
