Horror Short Review: The Christmas Gift (2016)
For Mason, a surprise gift on his doorstep doesn’t mean much but this toy is the kind of Christmas Gift he won’t forget anytime soon.

Naturally a low-budget Christmas horror in vlogger style would be about as appealing as a candy cane jammed in the eye. However, in a nice surprise, Dead Christmas (also known as Red Christmas) is entertaining and charming.
Crypt TV’s Elf On A Shelf is a super-short gleeful Christmas horror that will bring a smile to the blood-thirsty beast in all of us.
Holiday Hell is an anthology horror that has stories directed by Jeremy Berg, David Burns, Jeff Ferrell, and Jeff Vigil. With a cast that stars Jeffrey Combs, Joel Murray, Jeff Bryan Davis, Lisa Coronado, and Meagan Karimi-Nase.
Not to be taken seriously even for a second. Caesar and Otto’s Deadly Xmas is slapstick mixed with black humour and plenty gore.
Mercifully not dragged out at just 75 minutes long. Slay Belles is Christmas horror-comedy that certainly tries hard. However, it misses the mark a few too many times and struggles to keep the momentum going.
You’re not supposed to take The Christmas Season Massacre seriously. That much is made very clear so with that in mind; it’s not fair to call it a stupid movie. Even though it is a very stupid movie. However, the fact it is so tongue in cheek gives it some charm and many will be mildly entertained by what they see.
Shelved is not a good movie, not a good horror movie in the conventional sense. However, some of its flaws (of which there are many) can be overlooked because A) it’s a Christmas horror movie and B) it doesn’t take itself seriously.
