In all honesty? I througly enjoyed this. I know it went against the whole point of a horror anthology but I had a pretty great time watching it. Plus Seth Green is in it and Jesus was a zombie bunny. I love trash. Sorry.
Complete garbage. I didn't think Kevin Smith could make something worse than Tusk but boy was I wrong.
Holidays is a horror anthology film with eight holiday themed segments that has been on my watchlist for quite awhile, so when searching for an Easter Sunday flick I realized there is an Easter Bunny segment here. That's all I need!
Valentine's Day - ★★★ - Maxine is a bullied high school teen commonly referred to as "Maxi-Pad" by her peers. She harbors a hidden crush on her coach, the only person in the building who doesn't treat her like trash. This is the normal course of life until Valentine's Day, when a series of events causes Max to snap and bring her coach a special gift.
This segment presents an example of just how depraved bullies can be, and…
Rating just for Halloween!
I watched this film in full 7 years ago. I wanted to have a year where I just watch each segment on its day so this is the year. While this still annoyed me that it's so unHalloweeny I did enjoy this story more this time. It had me chuckling.
OK, let's do this in details because it's fucking awful and I need to rant. I thought the idea of a horror anthology with each film putting a spin on a specific holiday sounded awesome, and the poster is pretty awesome too. This movie however... it's not awesome at all. Below are my thoughts on every segment.
"Valentine's Day" segment: obnoxiously bad acting and dialogue, the story of this girl with a crush on her swimming coach is very cringe-worthy, some moments are unintentionally funny, the visuals aren't bad though.
Rating: 1 out of 5
"St. Patrick's Day" segment: uncalled for slowmo mixed in with quick cuts, the kid is effectively creepy, but the story is absolutely absurd... Seriously, what…
'Father's Day' was easily the most intriguing segment for me. Creepy atmosphere, good buildup and then a lazy tacked on ending and it ruined everything. It's like nobody working on this movie knew how the hell to end their story.
Rating just for Mother's Day!
I watched this film in full 7 years ago. I wanted to have a year where I just watch each segment on its day so this is the year. As I was galavanting around London on my wrestling holiday on the UK Mother's Day I had to save this for Yankee day. This one is the weakest of the first 4. Girl gets pregnant everytime she has sex, goes off to some weird place to try and sort it, gives birth to an adult. Yeah, an alright 12 minutes but just made me want to want Xtro again.
ive definitely watched the Valentine's Day short on tik tok before i didn't realize it was a movie 😭😭
Rating just for Valentine's Day!
I watched this film in full 7 years ago and barely remember it now. I always wanted to have a year where I just watch each segment on its day so this is the year. This first story was a friggin' riot. The music and reactions at Maxine crushing on the coach had me loling. And I very much enjoyed that little bug eyed bitch getting her comeuppance.
See ya Paddy's day!
Rating just for St. Patrick's Day!
I watched this film in full 7 years ago. I always wanted to have a year where I just watch each segment on its day so this is the year. This second one is cute dark humoured pagany goodness. I actually wouldn't mind a whole Rosemary's Reptile film :P
Wie wir alle wissen, ist Horror geradezu prädestiniert für Kurzgeschichten und Kurzfilme. Es ist aber auch bei kurzen Geschichten sehr schwierig, etwas Interessantes und Fesselndes abzuliefern, vor allem dann, wenn für die einzelnen Geschichten nur sehr wenige Zeit zur Verfügung steht.
Im Anthologiefilm "Holidays" haben zehn Regisseure jeweils einen Kurzfilm abgeliefert und da der Film lediglich ca. 100 Minuten dauert, ist die Laufzeit der einzelnen Geschichten nicht gerade üppig.
Bei den Regisseuren sind sogar einige bekannten Namen dabei, wie beispielsweise Nicholas McCarthy (The Prodigy), Gary Shore (Dracula Untold), Scott Stewart (Priest) und natürlich Kevin Smith. Auch bei den Schauspielern sind ein paar bekannte Gesichter dabei, wie Seth Green.
Technisch gesehen überrascht "Holidays", da die meisten Filme wirklich gut aussehen; Dies…
