"Fantastic Christmas horror film that's really underrated but also very creepy and well done. If your like me and you thought you saw all the best Christmas horror movies give this one a try you won't be disappointed."
"Christmas horror can be hit or miss but I really enjoyed the premise and execution of this one. The great packaging doesn’t hurt either."
"This is a pretty solid movie if you're looking for something new to watch at Christmas time. I'm always trying to find different Christmas themed horror movies, and this one has quite a few moments of dread in the picture. The CGI in it is not great so it gets a slight downgrade for that but all in all I enjoyed this for what it is."
"Fun watch. . creepy feel. It lost a bit of tension half way. . it could be better if it was 10/15 minutes shorter. . . but that is got a lot with horror these days. Still a must have and watch if you like (shutter and) holliday themed horror. ."
"It’s been a while since I watched this, so my memory isn’t fresh on detail. I know that i enjoyed the movie, and it had a very creepy atmosphere throughout. The lead actress was outstanding in her role. Picture quality was very good, and the limited slip was very nice too!"
"Sometime blind buys turn out to be bloody good buys. This had suspense, gore, and a very good story behind it all."
"Great concept and one of the more interesting recent horror films even if I think they could have done a little more with the elements at play. I’m am a sucker for holiday horrors though so it gets extra points there. As for the disc itself, PQ and AQ are all great, which extras are okay if not a bit light. Slipcover is also nice if not amazing. An overall solid release"
"I've been doing less blind buys lately so I watched this one on shudder before deciding on pulling the trigger. Which obviously I must have liked it because here's my review for my purchase! I did really enjoy this movie! Premise that could have gone terribly wrong. Just worked for me. Very light on special features but there is a booklet. And a beautiful slipcover."
"Fun Christmas horror! Love finding new holiday themed horror that's actually good quality."
"Just your typical story of a paraplegic former dancer who gets a wooden advent calendar that gives her a treat each day that will significantly impact her life for better or worse. Some monkey’s paw sort of stuff going on but with a unique updated take. I enjoyed."
