"This was surprisingly decent. The religious trauma angle is genuinely pretty well thought out and pushes this narratively above most Holiday horror shlock. It also has a pretty nice kill variety for the mid section before it defaults to the axe for most of the back third. It has a darker tone than you might think and is an overall worthwhile watch, although sexual assault being used as a narrative device multiple times would discourage me from watching it in the group setting it would otherwise lend itself well too."
"Second only to Black Christmas (74) as best Christmas horror. For someone like me who doesn't care much for the holidays I thought this was a really good horror movie I'm a huge sucker for slashers especially late 70s and 80s slashers this fills that role a bit a cult classic and a movie I will watch every year lol"
"Complete trash with a shockingly good story, worth a watch."
