It's a low budget horror movie, including a bunch of stupid teenagers. First of all, the characters were annoying and basic, the editing of the movie was awful and the casting wasn't good. The ending was predictable. The storyline was really bad too.
As a whole, I thought this movie was good, but I am also a sucker for movies like this so that does not help, I am also a huge fan of B movies and think they are glorious so far, out of the majority of horror titles this one has to be my favorite.
The actors in this movie did a great job with what they were given, Taylor was my favorite person in the entire movie, and I personally thought the killer was interesting although this seems like on of those movies where more back story is actually needed to explain how the killer really became the way he is.
While I do feel like Micheal Copon did a good job portraying spider, I feel that he was not scary enough to get the point across, a person who is able to act creepier and possibly more scary would be a better choice.
In the end I have to say, this movie is worth watching, even if you have your doubts give it a chance, maybe you will be surprised.

Killer holiday is a poor excuse for a thriller movie. You realize within 5 minutes of watching this movie it is going to be a flop.
Long story short, there is a crazy guy going around killing people. The movie has very few thrilling experiences. There are many poorly executed 'thrilling' scenes due to being a low budget movie. The story line is very stereotypical with nothing new.
All the actors are unknown. I think one or two try their best with little success.
Overall, this is a poor quality movie and I would not waste your time watching it. I think a 2 is fair.

Killer Holiday (2013) is currently streaming on Tubi. The story follows a group of teenagers on a road trip who decide to stop and spend the night at what seems to be an abandoned park. What they don't realize is that a serial killer is also lurking there-and they've just become his next targets.
Directed by Marty Thomas (Hotties), the film stars Michael Copon (One Tree Hill), Rachel Lara (The Wayshower), Julia Beth Stern (Rebound), and Rosamund Rinehart (Unbelievable).
Killer Holiday is a low budget picture that comes up just shy of being a hidden gem. The acting and overall premise are straightforward and lack polish, but the film includes some solid twists that, with a bigger budget and stronger production values, could have elevated it significantly. A few of the kills and horror elements stand out as creative and even fun, and the way the twists tie into the horror narrative had potential. However, just as the film starts to draw you in, the poor acting and uneven execution snap you right back out of it. The odd choice of soundtrack doesn't help, either.
In conclusion, Killer Holiday had the potential to leave its mark on the horror genre but ultimately falls short. I'd give it a 4/10 and recommend skipping it, unfortunately.

If you are a lover of great horror thrillers, and have any sense of film history you could not enjoy Killer Holiday more. For a very low budget Lionsgate movie, it screens like a 5 million dollar film. A large cast, with diversed locations, the movie delivers a large bounty for the movie goer. Bought it for my sister as a Halloween gift.
