Love the idea but sadly the performances ruined it. It's one bad actor after another who seem to think shouting is 'acting'. It felt like a lot of the dialogue between characters was improvised. Every conversation led to shouting and screaming with no resolution or purpose. Whether improvised or just badly written in the first place, that and the poor performances made this unpleasant to watch. This film fell flat. It failed to build tension or develop characters the audience would care about. I wanted them all to die, quickly, so that i wouldn't have to endure this attempt at a festive terminator any longer. Save yourself the displeasure of sitting through this and go rewatch Gremlins which is what i should have done.

This film is awful and you MUST see it!
This would be bad for a B movie but frankly this is so far down the alphabet that I may need to invent new letters! And I think for that reason I quite liked it! The sound design was really distracting in acts one and two. Though that annoyance was soon replaced by not so special FX and a ridiculous story. A story that manages to be both wildly stupid yet still obvious!

This could have been great but sadly was far from it. There is zero character development so you're never rooting for the protagonists. Such a shame. It's also a bit lazy and brings nothing new to the genre. I do get the impression it suffered from being edited to its bones in order to hit the 1hr 30 runtime.

Neil Marshall is dead, well his career is.

When a film starts with a bunch of writing to set the scene I know it has a good chance of being bad. This wasn't bad! It was terrible. Skip the first ten minutes because not a thing happens. The rest is just badly acted drivel. Gone are the glory days of Dog Soldiers and The Decent. This washed up director should stop. Please stop!
