When I heard Full Moon was doing a Christmas movie, I was curious and the premise sounded interesting. Three people lost on the way and run into the leering dwelling of an old creepy man who tells tales.
However, viewer beware, it's a clip show that showcases the best kills of the Full Moon filmography. I should be annoyed, but "clip show" features are something they have done before. If you see it as a "best of" compilation, you will be fine. Dare I say, it ser ves as a nice intro to those unfamiliar with Full Moon Features. You get a rough idea of their franchises and how they are.
So, my rating more or less reflects the entertainment value of the wraparound segments. They are well shot and enjoyable, but the trailers masquerade it as a fresh new film when it's not. For 40 minutes, it's a collection of classic kills in the clothing of a Christmas movie. This studio has come a long way with creating a collection of unique characters and creatures to the point one wonders why a clip show and why now. I would have loved to see them make a Christmas movie instead. Only recommend for die hard enthusiasts. Outside of that, watch Trancers this Christmas season instead.
