Featured review
I had such high hopes for Holidays, I adore horror anthology's and one featuring the writing of Kevin Smith and starring Seth Green and Harley Morenstein! Sign me up.
Sadly it didn't quite meet my expectations, and that is such a blinding shame.
You see horror anthology's are generally 3-4 stories and a wraparound, Holidays dismisses the wraparound and instead tells a whopping 8 short stories (Each one based on a different holiday).
This heavily reminded me of the ABC's of Death (2012) which was another horror anthology I was super excited for but turned out to be dire. That as well had a vast number of stories, different directors, writers and similar themes. Thankfully Holidays isn't that bad, but only because of a couple of the tales.
Truth be told several of the 8 are really bad and I mean really bad. They're the kind of shorts you'll see on YouTube that leave you scratching your head afterwards, unsure as to what you just witnessed and what the point of it all was.
Thankfully there are a few entertaining nuggets in there, some decent star power and sprinklings of charm. The stories range from weird, to gory, to oddly clever, but none exactly blew me away.
My pick would be Valentines Day as the most entertaining with St.Patricks Day being the worst...........or possibly Mother's Day.
Holidays on paper should have been fantastic but some disastrous writing near killed it for me, such a shame.
The Good:
Jocelin Donahue and Harley Morenstein
Solid visuals
The Bad:
Some really stupid stuff
