I decided to take a break from Leave the World Behind to watch some holiday horror. While this isn't anywhere near Halloween, there are some entertaining horror films that take place during this holiday season. This movie from 2023 fits solidly into that realm, It's a Wonderful Knife.
Plot: Winnie's life is less than wonderful one year after saving her town from a psychotic killer on Christmas Eve. When she wishes she was never born, she finds herself magically transported to a nightmarish parallel universe. With the murderous maniac now back, she must team up with a misfit to identify the culprit and get back to her own reality.
When I say down to watch this one, I was actually somewhat excited, the idea of a slasher take on a Christmas classic looked fun. Unfortunately, the execution didn't meet my initial excitement. While there are some positive with the cinematography and overall feel, the scripting was extremely incoherent and the movie suffered from that. The characters were flat, the performances were uneven, and overall it felt rather predictable after an interesting start. Now, this is far from the worst movie in the genre, but, I'm positive that there are many better choices out there. My recommendation, stay away.
