Killer Christmas (I) (2017) User Reviews

Killer Waste Of Time

[shawnblackman · 3/10 · 2 September 2018]

A group of friends go to cut down Christmas trees then decide to explore an abandoned hotel where of course they meet up with doom and gloom.

Another crappy horror flick that for some strange reason I watched all the way through. The killer's mask looks more like the Silo Killer (2002) mask then it does a Santa. For an added bonus you get this annoying tune that a choir of kids are singing, every three minutes! After an hour I was hoping to be the next victim. The ending is just as pathetic.

Killer Christmas (2017)

[SashaDarko · 4/10 · 4 January 2018]

A mediocre slasher which barely has anything to do with Christmas, the whole movie is just about degenerate youngsters going through an abandoned hotel, eventually realizing they're not alone there and it's a home of serial killer with a Santa mask. The crazy sound editing desperately tries to make it connected to the holiday - there are Christmas tunes in the mix throughout the movie seemingly randomly put here and there along with some woman whispering lines connected to the holiday theme (who? why?).

The actors do their job OK for the most time (the characters are super 2D anyway), but then come the girls with over-the-top screaming and they do it all the time, it just sounds like sirens.

The ending starts as something dumb and extremely ridiculous, but then proceeds as something very dark, actually it can probably ruin the holiday forever for people who watched it.

Probably watch this one if you want a snowy horror movie and you have absolutely nothing else to watch. At least it's watchable and not THAT boring.

Killer Snooze-fest

Good lord; where to begin...

"Killer Christmas" is an el cheapo movie (I'd say made for about $100) about six people who go to a Christmas tree lot to cut a tree, only to decide they'd rather go explore an abandoned hotel. And, of course, they can't stay together. They decide to play the noisiest game of hide-n-seek, where nobody really hides but everybody stomps around. And for whatever reason, it seems an eternity before the killer finally appears, although there's really no surprise in who it is.

Anything and everything (just about) is wrong with this movie. The editing is horrendous. It goes from broad daylight to black dark in, oh, about 30 seconds. I will say this: the actors did what they could, but it was the script that did them in. The pacing was way off. People--and cars--appear and disappear in the same speed it went from light to dark. One shot of the victims shows very nicely lit houses in a subdivision not a stone's throw away.

Rated "R" for constant language and very minimal violence you'd be wise to ask for anything but a copy of this movie.

Confusion

[dionalaf-1995 · 1/10 · 21 December 2018]

Interesting music, with Christmas carols and the horror melodies, but scenario sucks. Problem is not that classic story with a group of young dudes that get in trouble and a maniac chases them. There is absolutely no flow in the whole story. There is kind of mystery, but they don't use it to show us a good result. Seeing that movie was such a waste of time...

No flow,Invalid Storyline

[jevonthesinger · 5/10 · 15 December 2023]

The movie had no flow, too much of screaming and the killer revealed at the end was just too common. The only thing fascinating was the type of house or hotel that they used for the movie.

I feel that the movie could have been done with much more effort and direction but failed to orchestrate a good plot.

I don't know how I managed to watch it until the end but just thought that the movie would result in something interesting or a proper conclusion but it didn't meet the expectation. Unfortunately.

Not the average good movie. Cast weren't too bad, I feel Art played his role fairly well. That's about it.

Excellent Low Budget Slasher!!!

[piermutovic · 10/10 · 29 August 2020]

I am not sure what movie all of these other reviewers saw, but Killer Christmas is an excellent low budget horror flick with a great premise. Not many horror movies are holiday based and I imagine its because it is hard to pull off. You have to go into a movie like this with an open mind similar to the Blair witch project where obviously there is not millions of dollars worth of budget behind it. To be fair though the musical score is perfect is makes the whole movie come together. This movie is on our list to watch every year during the holidays. I highly recommend it!

Great Independent Horror Film!

[derikzoo31 · 7/10 · 22 November 2017]

I had the pleasure to view a copy of this before it premiered, and wow! This is a fun, scary movie! For first timers with a low budget, the Shakers make the most of everything! They had a fantastic cast with great chemistry, a beautiful backdrop in the old hotel, and a genuinely scary killer. This movie doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it does a great job with the wheel!

If there was anything I would say is a negative to the movie is it does take a little long to get to the good stuff, and the language is a little rough. You can only hear the "F" word so much before you go, "Okay, find new words!".

Besides that, this movie is fantastic. If you're a fan of old-school slashers, then you will love this movie. Pick this movie up today, add it to your collection, and be on the lookout for the Shakers' next production. Those guys are going to go far!
