Absurd though events get, every satisfying jolt honours the film's cracked cartoon spirit. A Christmas cult classic is born: and it's going straight to Santa's naughty list.
The idea is interesting, but the execution is too tacky to make it fly.
Chris Peckover delivers an early seasonal treat with this blackly funny slasher about a booze-swigging boy and his babysitter staving off a shadowy assailant.
Grim and repellent fare.
This Christmas comedy horror sadly sacrifices chills for charmless creepiness.
