In my book the first chapter called "once upon a time at christmas" was a solid santa slasher flick with it's flaws and it's positives and the most similar to the silent night deadly night film although not as good still as that great 1984 film was.

Still it had it's moments and it took itself seriously as far as plot conserns but showing the fbi and the cops so....helpless against this santa was kind of....hilarius.

Anyhow......if u wanted to find a serious kind of santa slasher close enough to SNDN then this film is for you but not it's sequel we are talking in this review. The sequel is a bore repetitive of the first film that eventually tire you watching it so u can skip it and stick to the superior first film.

Here are the top 5 santa involved slashers in my book

silent night deadly night 1 and 2

santa's slay

christmas evil

black christmas trilogy

once upon a time at christmas.

Not bad for a Christmas horror film! I'm excited to watch the first one now. I'm hoping there's another sequel. I think more can be explained, this was a great movie!

Honestly, this could have been such a good movie. The idea was good, but the movie just wasnt. Acting was poor at almost all times. Lines just delivered as if being read of the page. Except the bad guys and the sheriff who was only in one scene. And i know they wanted to make things scary, jumpy etc, but some scenes were just outrageously poor and unbelievable. Particularly when the FBI guy had a gun in Mrs C's face as she killed someone and did nothing. Then one scene "this is a private party" im not even going into And lastly the the girl with pink hair, we are supposed to care about her? She was rude and swore at the police etc. Pass
