Holidays (2016)

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Holidays (2016)

Post by Leisher »

Yay Netflix!

A bunch of short horror films, some by famous folks.

Valentine's Day - Horror, I guess? It's obvious what will happen and never diverts from that path. Interesting side note is that the bully is the spitting image of the girl who talked that kid into suicide (in real life). Not very good.

Easter - Very odd and kind of a ripoff of certain Christmas films. Some will find the Easter Bunny to be funny, some will say it's sacrilege. The rules that are explained make zero sense considering how easily she...

St. Patrick's Day - Hot actress, creepy kid, but everything else is stupid.

Mother's Day - Including a scene of an overweight and naked woman dancing from behind for around 10 seconds. Truly horrifying. The actual story not so much.

Father's Day - This one was kind of awesome with a not so great ending. Hot girl, good acting, brilliantly shot, great audio that was synced well (it's important), but it's a short film so the ending was kind of shitty and a LOT isn't explained. This one would be worth FFing to and watching.

Halloween - The only one that gets really pervy and there's a shot inside a convenience store, so this must be Kevin Smith's! Yep, there's his daughter. Is it horror? Not really, but it's a fine short.

Christmas - Seth Green shows up and shows us the true meaning of Christmas. Not a bad short.

New Year's Eve - Sometimes the twist is obvious, but the ride is still kind of fun.

Overall, a couple that were complete shit and a couple that were decent. Looks like the first four were the worst and the last four the best. Is it worth your time? For horror fans, probably. Anyone else, probably not. Although Father's Day was excellent (except for the end) and made me want more of that story.

The more I think about that Father's Day short, the more I like it. Still don't like the ending, but what were they going to do?
