I love being back into the swing of watching horror movies
and blogging, it helps me keep my mind engaged as I dissect my next writing
project. The next film that I watched was somewhat of a surprise, 2016s
anthology Holidays.
Plot/ Nine filmmakers present horror stories that revolve
around Valentine's Day, Saint Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's
Day, Halloween, Christmas, and New Year's Eve.
When I put this one on, I had no idea what to expect as
anthologies can be all over the board when it comes to coherent moments and
quality. What I found with this one was much of the same with a mixture of
uneven shorts featuring a wide array of approaches to the different holidays covered
by the directors. Overall, the stories ranged from unbelievable to ludicrous,
and touched on many different topics. Yes, there were a few that were pushed
the limits (Kevin Smith’s Halloween comes to mind), but that was to be
expected. Incredibly, the film featured some solid performances and some
intriguing storylines (Father’s Day and Christmas were my favorites), although
I am sure that it won’t appeal to everyone. In the end, if you live mindless
horror anthologies, this one is for you. Give it shot!
