Holidays

(2016)***

Holidays is a horror-anthology film with 8 – short films, one set around each of the following holidays:

Valentine’s *

St. Patrick’s *

Easter  *1/2

Mother’s Day 1/2

Father’s Day **

Halloween ****

Xmas ****

New Year’s ****

The quality of these films is widely varied, and thus, the non-commital 3 star rating overall, but I’ve provided a quick star-rating on each segment listed above.  Here’s a quick summary of each:

Valentine’s:  Awkward student has crush on gym teacher who also happens to need a heart transplant.  Bet you can figure out how that one will end.

St. Patrick’s:  A Rosemary’s Baby rip-off, but with snakes! 

Easter: A really f---ing creepy Jesus/Bunny/Chicken zombie comes to life. 

Mother’s Day: A 2^nd Rosemary’s Baby rip-off!  2 of these in the first 4 shorts!

Father’s Day: Daddy departs for another dimension!  Very sci-fi.

Halloween: written and directed by Kevin Smith.  If you like his comedy, you’ll like this one.

Xmas: Virtual Reality xmas present shows more than expected!

New Year’s: an online dating website matches two perfect mates.

I did enjoy the last three, but had to suffer through the first five.
