I have watched this movie 3 times already I had to buy the DVD. I highly recommend this movie if you like slasher movies. I thought the actors were awesome did amazing job. I hope there will be a sequel of this Movie. I thought the young Johnny is an awesome actor I seen him in other movies also.. The little girl that played Christina I have seen her in other movies. She is amazing actress. I thought the director and writer did a great job on this. I see one of the actress is on local TV daily. I believe this movie can win awards with the actors that are in this movie. Anyway I recommend watching this Christmas Slasher. I love the part when Christina says Johnny were in the world are you. That scene was hilarious.
Set design was so lazy! Just go rent a cabin and call it a day. This has to be one of the laziest set designs i've ever seen in any movie. There was no feeling of rhe Christmas season at all, other than a couple royalty free tracks. To mention there was no score to speak of either. Sometimes it sounds like the audio is coming straight from the camera mic cause it sounds very tiny and hollow and its very distracting.
The characters were also lacking in any redeeming qualities to set them a part. You have the token black guy blah, blah nothing stands out in the acting department.
The mask was pretty cool and the overall look of the film wasn't too bad.
Sadly this one missed the mark, and I'm glad it was free to watch.

Writer and Director Steven Morris really knew how what he was doing here and it shows. Forget Silent Night, Deadly Night! THIS is high quality Christmas horror! Great acting, a unique story, great kills, and endearing characters (I'd have a beer with Gregg if it was possible, and Christina was an engaging lead character. Rooted for her all the way!) made He Knows a great genre film!
Put HE KNOWS on your Christmas list, because this film is destined to become a horror classic in the same ranks as Halloween and Nightmare On Elm Street!
9/10! Bring on the sequel and watch out for Sammy The Elf!!

The acting is subpar and the bad lighting and cinematographry takes you out of the experience. Wish the lightning was a little more cinematic because with some the lighting it looked a bad YouTube skit
It feels super cheesy so if that's what they were going for they hit the nail on the head.
Audio was really good so that's a plus. If they audio wasn't great I wouldn't of made it all the way through. The music to voice lines could use some better balancing out.
The newer actors could of used some better directing to help them feel comfortable in their role. Some of them seemed like they were just reading line rather than being the character and feeling what the character is feeling.
Hopefully the next film will learn from the cons of this one and succeed on the next.

He Knows is a horror film about Sammy the Elf punishing those on his naughty list. Young Christina witnesses her father and brother being murder by Sammy the Elf.
Years later Sammy the Elf returns and he is killing off old friends of hers. The movie itself isn't bad, but it could use a bit of trimming. 100 minutes is a bit long for this sort of thing. 75 - 85 minutes is closer to an ideal run time for a picture like this.
There are some pretty good kills. Character wise, I'm not sure that there too many likeable characters in the film.
The film is shot well, and the special effects are pretty good. I did notice one continuity issue with Jessa Flux's character. Her hair has some pink in it. Then at one point there is no pink. Just a minor issue, but noticeable.
Most of the cast is unfamiliar to me except for Lynn Lowry (Sugar Cookies, Shivers), Jason Crowe (Space Babes from Outer Space, Don't F in the Woods) and Jessa Flux (Murdercise, Debbie Does Demons).
I guess your enjoyment depends on how much you like these type of movies, or if you're a fan of any of the cast.
