Interesting film. Crazy soundtrack.
Liked it. High production value and photography.
Great Christmas movie. At first I wasn't sure why a childrens movie was on shudder but it started making a lot more sense near the halfway point. Also great to trick some unsuspecting relatives to watch horror during Christmas.
Awesome little throwback that’s the real deal. Minus the 1 💀 4 “Santa” killing the dog. Coulda done w/o that. I cried. It was a little long but had an enjoyable TFTC/FFTDS vibe. There r nods 2 The Shining as well. & another Christmas themed film here on Shudder, A Christmas Horror Story definitely paid some homage 2 this. Oh yeah, definitely Home Alone b4 it was Home Alone.
