Reseña destacada
I generally like aussie horror films a lot, quite a few gems in the outback and such & this one, despite the ratings, was a very intriguing choice - A directional debut by an aspiring filmmaker who put his all, financial and mental, in making a low-budget slasher about an aborted fetus seeking revenge on his family. How did it go? Considerably well, I'd say.
"Red Christmas" is, overall, quite the messy amateur horror flick, a comic slasher that's, for the most part, self-conscious enough. The plot is morally questionable, I suppose that's where some of the bad ratings come from - the movie tackles subjects of abortion and down syndrome in not exactly the most sophisticated ways. However, I'm not taking points away from it because of those themes. I take points away for the entirety of story simply being average. The first half an hour is decent, the dysfunctional family theme works, the introduction of the villain is decent - but all gets more murky as the movie goes on. Basically, in the core it's a Slasher, so, everyone's familiar with the tropes. I thought the cast did a pretty good job, there were definitely enough over-acting moments and the characters can be cartoon-ish, but the performances provided some entertainment. Dee Wallace gave her best as the life-tired and caring mother, confronted by her past traumas. "Red Christmas" has some cool and creative kills while also managing not to rely solely on violence - gorehounds will find something to their liking. Visually it was equal parts good and chaotic, muddled - we got dynamic and creative camera work that sometimes goes well overboard, candy-colored and contrastive cinematography with lighting that raises an eyebrow every now and then & inescapably, a vibe, a sense of student-like filmmaking.
I believe that by any general/objective standards "Red Christmas" is average at the most, but for the genre fans & b-movie fanatics it can be a fun holiday horror that smells like independence, effort and both defeated and lost filmmaking challenges. My rating: 5/10.
