This write up was awesome!! I love the comparison to the downfall of current society/kids as well as the clear and informed comparison to silent night deadly night. Great stuff!
This was great! From your comparison to Silent Night Deadly Night to the deep cuts on how the modern world has sucked magic from the festive period, this is a seriously good read - one that's left me wanting to read more on this topic.
Also, the embedded trailer looks pretty dire. Woodchipper grinding or not, I can't imagine I'll be watching this film.
Omg thank you so much!! I’m happy yall like it, I was a little sleep deprived while writing so I was hoping my message came across haha. And yeah, don’t waste your time. Maybe check out the new remake coming out this week though, looks a lot more fun!
Absolutely perfect review! I adore the comparisons to Silent Night, Deadly Night. You echoed everything I felt (and didn’t feel) watching this ‘remake’ for the first time.
I somehow missed it 13 years ago, and only watched it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I landed somewhere between disappointment and unbridled rage. 😂

Thanks, Sean! Yeah, rewatching the 2012 film was ROUGH. I honestly had forgotten how bad it was. 😭

Great job comparing this with the original! I haven't seen this one yet and had no idea it was supposed to be a remake.
I’ve never seen the movie but an excellent post . You did a terrific job comparing and contrasting this with the original .
