Despite only just entering October with 20-something days still to go until Halloween, A Christmas Horror Story is here to look at the joy of Christmas through the lens of bloodshed one typically associates with Halloween. While certainly not a new concept, A Christmas Horror Story manages to buck enough expectations and deliver enough clever twists – not to mention a whole lot of gore – to be worth your time.
As one might suspect by its three directors (Steven Hoban, Grant Harvey, and Brett Sullivan), this is an anthology-style horror flick a la Trick ‘r’ Treat, though unfortunately lacking the “intertwining” aspects that the promotional materials of the film would have you believe. The stories and characters are indeed connected, but “intertwined” is a stretch: some characters know each other, established in the very beginning, but their paths never cross again nor is it even relevant to the larger story. The town of Bailey Downs as a whole seems cursed with some very bad karma, but beyond that, there is little to connect the threads.
