4/5
Better than it has any right to be, its methodical mayhem of a serial-killing Santa Claus delivers a new perspective on more slasher-oriented seasonal offerings. Go to Full Review

The characters in Don’t Open Till Christmas are woefully underdeveloped, but there’s just enough weird flair scattered around to make them interesting. Go to Full Review

Carlos I Nov 16 Holy guacamole is this sleazy! Don't Open Till Christmas feels like it's trying to be the holiday version of Maniac with its seedy London backdrop and focus on a traumatized killer, only it's not nearly as compelling or deliberately irreverent as it wanted to be. See more Caleb L Oct 5 A very underrated and sadly unknown Christmas horror film. It does play most of its hand too early with the creative kills and sequences in the first act, but the rest of the film is nonetheless entertaining enough. See more Melissa L @Agent99 Oct 2 It's not bad. I would recommend it for the holiday season because I've seen worse. See more Fleegle B 12/30/2023 I wish this movie had a UK DVD release so I could watch it See more Steve D 08/24/2023 Unpleasant yes, but laughable when it tries to scare. See more @c0urtn3y 12/30/2022 i mean, watching it for the first time now, it's not a good movie, haha. i can see where it maybe has a cult following though. & genuinely surprised by the number of boobs there were. i saw this via Joe Bob Briggs Drive-In episode which maybe made it more interesting than it would've been otherwise, but even then I'm not sure i would recommend it.
