stevenjlowe82 Really rather enjoyed this movie a lot. My favourite story had to be crazy Santa and some of his elves one liners were childishly delightful. The most disturbing scene came from my least favourite story involving the high school kids, the dead baby!!!! Really made me eek out and look away so be warned!!! The evil tree folk storyline had potential but for me was the least focused upon story and it really showed, shame cause could have been better. Overall a solid 7/10 and would definitely watch it again.

Paul Magne Haakonsen When I found "A Christmas Horror Story", I needed little convincing to make me sit down and watch this movie after I saw the movie's cover. I didn't even bother reading the synopsis or check who was in it. All that mattered was the fact that it was a horror movie and the DVD cover pretty much sold the rest."Elves becoming the walking dead? No, it does not make any sense..." as Santa himself said it was essentially all that was needed to summarize this movie.For a collaboration of multiple writers and directors, then I must say that "A Christmas Horror Story" actually turned out to be quite nice. The writers Jason Filiatrault, James Kee, Sarah Larsen, Doug Taylor and Pascal Trottier actually put together three interesting stories which worked quite well individually, but also came together quite nicely as an interwoven whole. And the three individual directors Grant Harvey, Steven Hoban and Brett Sullivan did great jobs in directing each their own story and managing to tie the three tales nicely together.They had managed to get together a good ensemble of acting talents for this movie, although I can't claim to be familiar with the vast majority of them. Actually, the only two actors that I were familiar with were William Shatner and A.C. Peterson. But it should be said that the entire cast were performing quite well with their given roles and characters in all of the three different stories.The effects in the movie were quite good and they definitely served their purpose quite well. Don't expect an all out CGI special effects galore though, because this movie is so much more than just a hollow display of multi-million dollar CGI effects - and thankfully so. There was enough blood, gore and mayhem to keep an aging gorehound like me more than happy. And the scenes with Santa were just amazing.And the showdown between Santa Clause and Krampus was well worth the wait and definitely worth the watch, and it alone made it worthwhile to watch "A Christmas Horror Story".The twist to the storyline that was revealed towards the end was just a stroke of genius. I hadn't expected that and much less seen that coming. It was really a nice change to the storyline and a very welcomed one at that.This is hardly going to be a Christmas classic, but it is still an enjoyable movie, especially if you enjoy a Holiday themed horror movie.

victorseay This is a well made, well played and worthwhile Xmas horror film IMO. The cast is great and the writing is good and the effects are top notch....plus you have killer zombie elves and Krampus and......SHATNER!!! This is another of the films that spawned during the "Krampus" craze last holiday season. This is one of the better ones. It is set in the same town that the "Ginger Snaps" movie was set in and the stories are all connected somewhat. Shatner plays a DJ who has the Xmas spirit in spades while all around him in his town....well....some crazy stuff is going on.....and meanwhile....at the North Pole?

areatw Some people, or rather a lot of people, are going to hate this movie. It's easy to see why - four short, separate Christmas Eve horror tales in one movie, flicking back and forth, it can be difficult to keep up. If you can manage to stay focused and patient, there is some great entertainment here.'A Christmas Horror Story' has everything you'd want in a festive horror movie. It's funny, gory, scary, and very, very weird. From zombie elves attempting to murder Santa to a possessed child, this is sure to satisfy those who like their horrors more on the 'quirky' side.It entertained me for an hour and a half, but I certainly won't be revisiting this bizarre Christmas film any time soon.
