Red Snow

It's cute and quirky. The acting ranges from decent to not but the production value, primarily the cabin and christmas decorations, add to the better than average rating. Is it Shakespeare? No. Frankly, it isn't even at a Lifetime channel movie level but the female has an endearing charm and handles the comedic aspect well. There is some gore, enough that I took a preventative eye closing just in case guts went a flyin'. Would I watch it again? Yeah, sure, maybe once more but not more than that. Kudos to the writers for that clever ending. And now a random sentence for the required characters.

By the first 15 minutes you will know if you want to continue, i did by then thankfully and i liked that "charming" lowish budget Vampire movie. The leads where well cast, good script, and a film that would do well in festivals, i like this vampire story, well directed.

Not going to lie, with all the Christmas horror-hype these days, it's pretty clever to get out ahead of the game and capture that Christmas vampire market.

Considering such, this film stands out from most of the other more recent Christmas horror films, not only because of it's original angle...but also because it is a mostly competent film.

In it, we find ourselves following a fledgling vampire romance novelist, on Christmas...just as she is about to have a life altering experience....after a bat crashes into her back window.

She takes the bat in, with plans on rehabilitating it...but- to her luck- it turns out to be an real live actual vampire.

Smitten by her newfound fate, she not only takes the injured vampire in...but even acts to protect him from a renown vampire hunter, who has been hot on his trail.

Though, of course she also uses the oppourtunity to learn more about the "rules" that apply to vampires...and get him to critique her book.

However, not everything is as peachy keen as it seems...because when the injured man reacquaints with his two friends...they kick the poor woman to the curb, and take over her house.

So, she's left to fend for herself...and fight for what's rightfully hers.

The whole thing is tinged with an air of dark humour...particularly the ending...which has a clever twist.

And there is a decent amount of gore!

Which is why it is such a fresh and refreshing Christmas horror that is worth enjoying this holiday season.

5.5 out of 10.

I do think this is a pretty interesting type of vampire movie that I have seen. The story is unique with a struggling vampire romance novelist encountering a vampire who slowly forms a relationship with each other. The movie reminds me of Night of the Living Deb where the movie has the charm to it with its characters and the humor it presented here. I like how causal the main character is with her meeting the vampire and building a relationship with him throughout. And I like the scene where he helps her with the novel that she writing about. Also, things get violent later in the movie which will please any horror fans. And the ending is something that I didn't expect.

The comedy itself is a hit or miss with a couple of funny lines or moments from the characters. The funniest scene in the movie is where he helps her with her novel and giving out advice to her and some of the dialogue is pretty funny.

I was immediately drawn in by the cover/poster for the 2021 horror comedy movie "Red Snow" as I stumbled upon it here in 2022. Had I heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it? No. Did I even know what it was about? No. It hardly mattered, as a horror comedy with vampires that I hadn't already seen, I needed no persuation to sit down and watch what writer and director Sean Nichols Lynch had in store.

The storyline was actually fair enough. Now, it has enough contents to support a single viewing, but I doubt that it can do more than just that. For me, personally, then this is not a movie that I will be returning to watch for a second time.

"Red Snow" is a fun approach on the vampire genre, and on that account then writer and director Sean Nichols Lynch certainly managed to come up with something unique enough to stand out.

The movie was nicely carried by lead actress Dennice Cisneros (playing Olivia) and Nico Bellamy (playing Luke). In addition, the movie also had the likes of Laura Kennon (playing Jackie) and Vernon Wells (playing Julius) on the cast list.

Visually then "Red Snow" was actually good. Now, hold your horses, because "Red Snow" is not a movie that was heavy on special effects, and as such, not really dependent on having great special effects. Whatever special effects that were used in the movie, however, were doing their job to the letter.

I am rating "Red Snow" a five out of ten stars.
