Red Christmas Ratings & Reviews
jackmeat
April 4, 2025
My quick rating - 4.5/10. This slasher flick did something very few can do. You really feel bad for the killer in this movie. They went far out of the way to make you to feel sorry for him even if he is cutting people in half with an axe. The story here is a left-for-dead unsuccessful abortion child who comes back for the loving of his mother. But when that is not what he gets, he heads down the revenge route. But being left on the hospital room floor also had some serious consequences in his development. If you watch, you will get a glimpse of this mutation. Like I said, they want you to feel bad for him and it works. But the most distracting thing about this whole movie is just how stupid every last character is. To the point it is distracting. A bad decision or two is one thing, but this movie is just out of control, tropes times a thousand. Even with this major setback, it still ends up being a passable flick to check out, Christmas horror or not.

Pointed, twisted, gory, and filled with a surprising amount of character development.

... even after giving Red Christmas as much slack as possible, it's not a movie that can be considered good. A few good scenes here and there do not a great movie make.
Cultured Vultures
Patrick King
It's ultimately a well-done slasher film with an interesting enough gimmick. It's over the top in ways that horror fans are sure to appreciate.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Andrew Todd
A bewildering cavalcade of nonsense where nearly every creative decision is either questionable or objectively incorrect.
Film Threat
Malik Adán
Red Christmas is a solid, goofy and disturbing slasher that'll have you wary of unannounced visitors during the holidays.
Film Pulse
Blake Crane
Despite some energy and inventiveness, the film is stuck in a mostly listless zone between taking itself too seriously and having fun with its exploitative elements.

Felix Vasquez Jr.
A nasty, unpleasant, poorly constructed, and confused movie I was anxious to see end.
IndieWire
Michael Nordine
Craig Anderson's Red Christmas isn't exactly a lump of coal in your stocking, but neither is it worth waking up early for on the big day.
Film Journal International
Maitland McDonagh
One of the most beautifully lit and photographed horror films since Dario Argento's Suspiria.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
Mostly, it's a tightly constructed, unapologetically nasty little thriller, given depth and weight by Wallace's interpretation of a sweet woman suffering for her past.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Overall Red Christmas provides much more in the way of balanced perspective and nuance than many a serious drama on the subject.

"Red Christmas" avoids complete tastelessness due to Wallace's sincerity, and it's a shame she isn't the sole focus of the film.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Gory and offensive, but lacking in the scare department.
We Got This Covered
Matt Donato
Red Christmas is solely for those horror fans who enjoy cheap, CHEAP thrills and low budget fodder (and hopefully a ton of spiked eggnog).
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
It's not fun. It's not frightening. It's just f*cked.
Daily Dead
Heather Wixson
Red Christmas is just one missed opportunity after the next, and I'm left wishing Anderson had done more with both his story and his characters.
Variety
Eddie Cockrell
An energetic, candy-colored romp through genre tropes that manages to take its subject matter seriously while poking fun at itself at the same time.
