About This Movie

So, '12/24' is this little gem that plays with the whole holiday horror vibe. You've got this eclectic mix of characters, all trying to get home on Christmas Eve, and then, bam! The undead start rising, which really sets a chaotic tone. The pacing is interesting—it's not nonstop action, but it builds tension nicely as the characters face their grim fate. The practical effects are pretty decent for a film of its time, and there’s a rawness to the performances that feels genuine. It’s not your run-of-the-mill zombie flick, it kind of toys with the idea of Christmas cheer clashing with survival horror, giving it a unique twist that lingers after the credits roll.

This film hasn't had a robust home media release, which makes it a bit of a rarity in collector circles. It's often overlooked, but those who seek it out appreciate its mix of holiday themes and horror elements. There are a few bootleg copies floating around, but finding a legitimate version can be a challenge, adding to its appeal for dedicated collectors.
