It was a slasher Christmas movie that was quite well shot and put together with a half decent idea, so kudos for everyone else involved with it to make it so awful, the script was just so terrible it was just awkward to watch, the story went nowhere, I genuinely can't believe this was made how it was, nothing makes sense, like nothing at all, the writers didn't even attempt to make a coherent story, it was just painful to watch the actors go through the awful script I didn't think i could hate a movie that was essentially a christmas slasher movie so much, i don't mind cheesy, i don't mind low budget, i don't mind ridiculousness, but this is none of that, this is just bad.

I don't normally do reviews but this one had so many bad reviews I felt I should add one on what I think. . I liked it. I thought it was cute. It had a rather uplifting story about how anyone can make a difference and how important family can be. It wasn't really a horror movie, it was more about how helping one person can make a difference in their life. The main character was very likable and the bad guy was somebody you couldn't wait to see killed. The characters may be may have been over the top, but it made the story interesting watching. I think it's a good movie for somebody who just wants to watch a Christmas story with a little bit of horror.

It's a Wonderful Knife hits too hard on the story line of the movies it is copying. "It's a Wonderful Life meets Scream" is an understatement of a tag line. It is the merged copy of these two films blended together with the appropriate amount of current diversity elements. Everyone is happy except for the characteristic parody of the evil town mayor. What has happened to Justin Long that he now only seems to play these oddball quirky characters that are either upfront selfish or accidently selfish? Whichever reason, he only annoys in this film doing some mid-Atlantic parody of a shyster mayor. Overall the kills are uninspired, the cliches heavy, and every trope of these two films are hit heavily in every chance it is possible. Tired lame filmmaking and plotting galore. Sigh. Only mild in its fun leaving the overall product uninspired and tired from the sense of having to check off as many boxes in the woke cultural identities we have now. I wanted a slasher film that had some black humor. Instead, I got a rainbow and wasted time.

So fed up with this DIE (yes I meant DEI, but let's get the letters in the correct order, it's killing movies) I was put off, within the first 10 mins. I tried to like it. But at 57yrs, I think I'll stick with the likes of the original black Christmas, krampus etc. I love horrors, it's what I watch most of the time and have an extensive collection of physical media. Stop appealing to a tiny minority, give us movies we all can enjoy. I'm not bothered who's in a film, if the stories good. Eg US creepy as hell and Talk to me. But this ticks every box twice and then some. Please bring back good story telling. Us horror buffs need it. And it's what will bring us back to the cinemas.
