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.

Rated: C-

Los Angeles Times

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.

Gory and offensive, but lacking in the scare department.

Pointed, twisted, gory, and filled with a surprising amount of character development.

Rated: 2.5/4.0

... 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.

Rated: 1.5/5

Cultured Vultures

It's ultimately a well-done slasher film with an interesting enough gimmick. It's over the top in ways that horror fans are sure to appreciate.

A nasty little romp that deserves more credit then it gets. Gory, offensive and held together by Dee Wallace's stellar performance, who goes all in despite being a low budget b horror.

It has its good moments. I feel they could have done more with such a deep topic.

Christmas in Australia with an obnoxious family of squabbling, unlikable characters is interrupted when the matriarch's aborted child comes knocking to be reunited with his mother. Yes, it's the revenge of an aborted baby. Leaving aside the sheer idiocy of the premise this film had no redeeming features. Some characters put on fake American accents, the production and direction are like a no budget student film, nothing anyone does makes sense, the acting is done like it's a first draught read through, the killer fetus is dressed up in a full length cloak cloak and bandages for no apparent reason, everyone thinks it's cold despite christmas in Australia being in summer, the lighting resorts to lurid mono colours at random times and the effects are anything but special. A bad idea with terrible execution. It baffles me this film was even made much less screened anywhere.

I thought of it early on as a b horror movie it's obviously not better than things like Halloween but there are worse movies out there in horror. I didn't think of it too good it left me with small questions. There's room for improvements but almost any movie has room for improvements even the best. (First movie rating)

Not your average film... at all. Maybe a bit offensive at times, I didn't mind at all and actually thought it gave more structure and profound results in the end. A very good watch not permitted for everyone
