Craig Anderson's Red Christmas isn't exactly a lump of coal in your stocking, but neither is it worth waking up early for on the big day. Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Aug 24, 2017
Mostly, it's a tightly constructed, unapologetically nasty little thriller, given depth and weight by Wallace's interpretation of a sweet woman suffering for her past. Go to Full Review
John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter Aug 23, 2017
Gory and offensive, but lacking in the scare department. Go to Full Review

What better way to get into the Christmas spirit than to watch someone get axed hotdog style. Go to Full Review

Pointed, twisted, gory, and filled with a surprising amount of character development. Go to Full Review

... even after giving Red Christmas as much slack as possible, it's not a movie that can be considered good. A few good scenes here and there do not a great movie make. Go to Full Review

George S Jan 20, 2019 That's how I feel on Australian Christmas too.
Kylo M Dec 23, 2018 A rather poorly made horror film, Red Christmas doesn't deliver any scares. The story follows a family celebrating Christmas in the Australian countryside that is visited by a mysterious stranger looking to settle some unfinished business. Except for Dee Wallace the acting is universally bad, and the script isn't much better. But it's the directing that really damns the film. The kill scenes are poorly shot and there's no tension or suspense to them. And the special effects are terrible; particularly the creature make-up, which is downright laughable. Red Christmas is an amateurish film that doesn't work at all. See more
Ron R Sep 1, 2018 The subject matter is compelling because it is deep and personal enough, but the filmmaker doesn't take it anywhere - it's just abrasive and sad. It doesn't have a proper ending, so everything that happens leading to the end of the film was pointless and you find out you gave an hour and a half of your life to a film and a story that doesn't deserve your attention.

Poe W Dec 19, 2017 One of the worst Christmas horror movies ever. Just terrible.
Finn S Dec 12, 2017 Cool little Christmas slasher/home invasion movie. It's got a unique, nasty story and Dee Wallace's sincerity really brings more weight to the whole thing. See more
Rey S Nov 11, 2017 "Mom, why you keep trying to kill you children?!" Ha! That was fun!
