I'm a huge Biffy Clyro fan, and, like many others who watched this I suspect, that's the only reason I did so.
I don't really understand why they're connected with this project. I'm thrilled we've got 15 new Biffy songs, just a slight shame the film the score is inspired by/written for is just a bit dull.
Ultimately I guess I just didn't believe in the characters, their performances or the storyline.
If I had to pick out a stand out performance, or at least the character I connected to the most is Bria Vinaite, who plays Hannah. She's amusing and provides a bounciness to the uninspired script, but it is clutching at straws I'm afraid.

This really is very, very bad. I mean, shockingly bad. It gives the impression of half decent animation strung out to make a Christmas feature. Right from the start, lots of the shots dwindle far too long. Most of the animation is decent, hence why I was tricked into thinking it might be watchable. Weird bit where the duvets move about all over the place. The story is non-existent, and the dialogue is instantly forgettable.
I thought I was in for a cute, half decent short with a Christmas feel but was left very underwhelmed.
Kids under 8 or so might be amused but anyone older won't be taken in.

I went into this with an open mind, having enjoyed the original film. The day before I started the documentary with Mark Kermode to further prepare for the new film.
It was disappointing then when this sequel, 50 years later, was a complete let down. You won't see anything you haven't already seen in many, many other horror films. The characters and story is just about passable but there's no zip about, nothing to keep you that interested.
There are scares but I found them to be pretty tame, and the few other members of the audience seemed to agree with me.
Unless you're a IMDb nerd like me, it's not worth your time.
