There’s no nuance or real elements of tension or surprise. But it’s fun in that it’s such obvious wish fulfillment that it goes down like a slice of holiday pie.

There’s a lot to love about this festive bloodbath despite it being surrounded by many elements that don’t work.

Mackay is a talented and prolific filmmaker (take a look at her filmography to see how much work she puts out at a clip), but the level of filmmaking craft rises way above the material here.

Alice Maio Mackay may have reached the tipping point where her films can find that boarder audience without sacrificing the edge that makes them unique, and Carnage for Christmas is evidence that she’s just going to keep getting better.
