Analysis
"A Christmas Horror Story" is a wild, bloody, and brilliantly fun horror gem. It is Something fun as well as scary. The scenes are perfect and believable, the script is hilarious, and Shatner does an amazing job as the likable DJ trying to keep Christmas going while darkness rains down around our characters. But some scenes in the movie are unnecessarily crude and seem like overkill with the language used well and the character stories are left a bit open-ended with no true endings. But the movie is capable of pulling you in due to its visually festive, fun, and glorious storytelling.

Verdict
The movie feels like a fun little Christmas holiday horror anthology that winds up feeling too adventitious for its good. It is a very good movie option on Christmas Eve.
