This movie was one of the worst movies i've ever seen. The fact that they practically make fun of people with down syndrome, and then kill them, doesn't make a good plot for a movie. the CGI/Special Effects for this movie were so fucking terrible, instead of me feeling any sort of emotions for the characters being killed, I laughed. There were only about 2 or 3 likable characters out of the whole cast of them, but they ended up dying prematurely anyway. I don't write reviews for movies. I only rate them. This movie was so fucking terrible, that I felt the need to spread the word. DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. I only decided to watch it on Netflix, because there was nothing better for me to do at the time. This is not the kind of movie that the actors would be proud of in several years. I know I wouldn't be.

Personally I don't think this film has a political agenda, either pro-life or pro-choice. All the characters are awful IMO. I think the reason for the bad reviews comes down to politics. Christmas + abortion. What a heartwarming combination! but if you can get past that, I actually really enjoyed the film. It wasn't as shallow as the typical hack and slash horror flick. No, not every scene was realistic, but so what? Very few horror films are. Recommended for anyone that isn't politically sensitive and enjoys horror.

Arriving for a family holiday, a group of people in a remote mansion for a get-together find themselves stalked by a homicidal madman intent on punishing them for their beliefs against abortion and must fight to save their Christmas from the deluded psychopath. This was a solid if slightly flawed effort. One of the better aspects here is the film's rather strong and enjoyable concept of the holidays where this one finds plenty to like here. Taking place in Australia instead of out in the countryside has plenty of somewhat familiar celebrations to focus on, from the way the food preparations are given to the way the house holds up under the decorations and lights which manages to really let the holiday flavor really sink in here. That also helps with the later slashing antics here, with the film featuring some solid scenes here with the opening ambush on the hospital carrying out the service which allows for a more action-oriented start, the initial appearance on the house which manages to feature some rather decent stalking with the killer moving through the various areas of the house which makes for some tense confrontations out in the backyard or through the kitchen. Once it gets to the killer chopping through the family members this one gets incredibly fast and frantic with plenty of nice scenes featuring the family continually trying to avoid his advances as the brawling throughout the house and outside generates the kind of solid action that makes for a solid and enjoyable time here as well as letting the excessively brutal and graphic kills generate some solid enjoyment here. These here manage to hold this one up over it's few but somewhat significant flaws on display. The main disadvantage is the fact that the film has way too many connections to the abortion theme which is incredibly hackneyed and doesn't really generate the impact it could've. The fact that this one ties that into the reasoning and motivation make no sense as the people said to have that condition are far and away completely different from that mindset and wouldn't have any kind of impetus to go on this rampage as that gives this the kind of cheesy feel that goes against the important message it's trying to make with that storyline. Not only that, but the killer himself is a joke with his hobbled and bent-over appearance not in the slightest invoking any kind of fear due to the fragile nature of his physical form, and that large number gathered together with weapons would have no problem ganging up to overpower and subdue him, especially in his physical state which doesn't in the slightest look capable of inflicting that type of intense trauma on people. The last issue is the rather awkward finale that goes on way too long and seems like it lasts too long to get it up to a respectable length, rather than flowing naturally. These here are all that really hold it back. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, a mild sex scene and themes of abortion.

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..

Ummmmmm, wut? Bored on a Sunday, few weeks before Christmas, plus I love horror movies, so why not try this? WHY, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHY? Firstly, I don't understand how movies like this get funding? Who pays for this? Wouldn't that budget be better spent on like, dog food at SPCA's or something? Woman gets abortion, but somehow not? Same abortion clinic gets bombed, supposed aborted baby still survives. OK. Sure. Flash forward 20 years, supposed aborted/bombing baby is back dressed as the mummy/grim reaper combo. How he finds his mother in her secluded ranch home in the middle of Australia, yet has never heard of a present? WHO KNOWS. They invite in the Grim Bombed Mummy Aborted Baby, even though his creep factor is through the roof, give him a jar of peanuts and then kick him out for starting to read a letter. What else is there for him to do, other than murder the whole family!!! Since when can you split someone completely and cleanly in half with an ax? Please, someone let me know. Women argue with accents, over pie and what not, ya know, real deep stuff. Grim Bombed Mummy Aborted Baby then kills every single person, but not before the mom is able to simultaneously able to hang herself/cut GBMAB in half. THE END. No, seriously. That's the end. Please don't watch this, please? I beg of you.

Twenty years ago, an abortion clinic was bombed but a baby survived. Cut to today and that aforementioned family gathers at the home of matriarch Diane (Dee Wallace, Critters, The House of the Devil). Meanwhile, Cletus, a man in rags and bandages, shows up to upset everyone before the film turns into a slasher. There are some creative kills and an interesting take that Diane ended up raising a son with Down's Syndrome but may have wanted to abort him. But Cletus is near impossible to understand without subtitles and no one is likable enough to worry about them when they are murdered. It also has a misogynist pro-life slant: abortion is wrong. Women that get abortions are evil. Substitute people that have abortions for people who * in the woods and you have a movie. Sadly, it's not a very good one. Supposedly, this is a dark comedy. I found it dark, but nowhere near humorous. Your mileage, however, may vary.

The movie tonight is a 2017 entry into the Christmas horror list "Red Christmas", and it is a very disturbing movie, nothing like what you are used to from these holiday massacres. No bad Santas, no slashers killing random for no apparent reason, this actually has a pretty decent story. Dee Wallace produced and starred in this very gory movie with plenty of bloody kills. A family unites for Christmas in a remote home, and then a stranger covered in a cloak and nothing that reveals his true appearance appears, creeps everybody out, and is thrown out. As members of the family start to end up in a bloody mess, the real reason for all of this carnage reveals itself. Believe it or not, this is an anti-abortion message movie, which is explained at the beginning, but you have no idea how extreme that is going to go. I found it very interesting, very good performances, even though the family characters annoyed me to death. As the family is killed off, I was hoping they all would, which turned out pretty true. Not a spoiler, because it is pretty evident after you find out the real story. Anyway, I guess you need to see it, even though even myself found it very distasteful and as I said disturbing.

Its cheap, actors and script at first half not so good, but... final part actually deliver good climax - this is very-very rare in many horrors, big-budget or non-budget. Also SFX not bad, and Craig really know what he doing - this film take best from slashers: interesting death, emotional drama, controversy, and morale - but! without agitation, you really can think about it. I not say this is 10 of 10 for all horror fans. But if you love good b- movie from 80th - this one need to be seen.

Red Christmas (2016) ** (out of 4) This bizarre film starts off at an abortion clinic where someone walks in with a bag, which eventually explodes. Flash-forward twenty years and Diane (Dee Wallace) has her family at her home where they are preparing a big Christmas event. Before long a strange man wrapped from head to toe shows up. He wants to read a letter to his mommy and before long brutal murders are happening. RED Christmas starts off with an abortion bombing and it grows every bit weirder as it moves along. I'm not going to say this movie is a complete success but there's no question that it contains some pretty bizarre ideas and a bizarre execution. This film isn't what I'd consider good but there are enough weird ideas that make it entertaining to watch and then you throw in the graphic violence and you're probably looking at something that is going to gain a cult following. As I've said throughout, I give writer-director Craig Anderson credit for attempting to go to a very dark place and create a bizarre holiday tale. The killer here is a deformed creature and also a haunted human who just wants to know why his mother was willing to kill him and not love him. A lot of horror films try to give their killers origin stories or some sort of weak backstory but this film here actually delivers something rather strong and something that can make you think. I mean, for a horror picture that's really saying something. With that being said, the execution wasn't the greatest and there's a point around the forty-five minute mark where things get rather stale and slow down to a very big crawl. I'd also argue that some of the points of the story could have been expanded on but the 82-minute running time didn't allow for that. Performance for the most part were good and especially Wallace as she gets a good meaty role to work with and she does a very good job with it playing a character who must face her face and see the damage it has had on her future. As I said, gore hounds will be extremely happy as there are some pretty brutal murders here that have all sorts of CGI blood being thrown around. Technically speaking the film was well-made and has a very professional and good look to it. RED Christmas isn't a masterpiece or even a good movie but there are enough good moments to make it worth sitting through.
