Red Christmas (I) (2016)
7/10
For The record
29 December 2017
I have nothing to do with the films production, nor do I personally know any one associated with the film. Don't believe the reviews that say only people associated with the production are reviewing this film positively.

This is an excellent film, and fine example of independent film making done right. Sure there are some issues along the way, but remember this is a debut feature.

The kills a great, bloody and unique and actually on screen! The villain is actually someone you feel sorry for, and while you don't cheer him on, there is a definite understanding and sympathy for his motives.

The film is brutal and bleak, with nothing to really feel good about by the end of it. This is becoming rarer these days, with films often trying to wrap things up in a nice neat manner that resolves what occurs through the movie. This film does not and is one of the reasons why I loved it.

Practical effects, brutal bloody kills (again, actually on screen), relateable characters, creepy yet pitiful villain, and looks fantastic. Yes it not as polished as a James Wan or Mike Flanagan film,but it is a fantastic indie horror film.

This film is well worth your time, highly recommended..
