Cheesy b-grade slasher. Harkening back to the slashers of the 80s. Loved all the southern female characters. Feels about 20 minutes too long though which lets it down a little.

No.

🤨

I think that I would have enjoyed this more had it been an sov. Has many of the same hallmarks like the odd lighting, awkward soundtrack, plastic cleavers, and hammy over the top community theater histrionics. Obvious influences abound which were appreciable but quickly wore thin and served more as a diminishing return. There's plenty to appreciate, it does have pretty solid production values, but the overall tone left me sort of disengaged. Dialogue heavy slasher with characters being offed sporadically in less than inventive ways culminating in a fade to black with Christmas lights. I'm either jaded or spoiled.

The movie should have been much shorter. Some of the scenes just dragged on for way too long.
I also didn't like that some of the kills were off-screen, but for the most part, they were done effectively; especially the Steam Iron kill – that was my favorite.

You can't shake that When the Trash Man Knocks had some Halloween/Michael Myers vibes going for it at times. However, this slasher does its own thing with some psychological trauma among relationship and past trauma throughout the cast. Often times happened because of the slasher only known as the Trash Man.

High on body counts and low on budget, this movie will have some viewers enjoying this movie that had a light connection to the holidays. Especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even though this was a slasher, the movie wasn't truly about the slasher which was an interesting take.

Overall this was a good watch.

Practically low budget indie version of the last 4 Michael Myers films compressed into one runtime. Similar themes of survivor guilt as well as the trauma the characters experienced prior to the story where we see the after effects instead of seeing reenactments (honestly more of a testament to Moore's handling of his creative team). At points the drama is intriguing enough to stay with the characters that it feels a bit cheapened to remind us (the audience) that this is still a slasher and we have a killer to worry about. There lays possibly the other issue is the runtime feels a bit longer than it should, but can't say I've been disappointed with Moore's filmography. Actually I lied... I'm disappointed that he hasn't been given a budget and time to truly let him showcase his talents.

Made for less than the cost of a new car, southern slasher with character development (and trauma 😕), just a bit slow, maybe coulda been tightened up a bit. Perchance a new turkey day runner up after you've jammed the big few. CWM is growing on me, my 4th. Always love some Mohler too.
You know, when I watch Tubi moovees on a laptop it skips all commercials (just stutters right past them), unlike in app on a tv, there are no pee breaks here.

i feel like if the acting was better this movie would be so popular. but other then the acting there wasn’t anything bad about this movie. i would definitely recommend to any slasher fans out there
