Christmas Tree

About This Movie

Christmas Tree (2007) presents a strange blend of family drama and horror, where grief meets the grotesque. The film sets a tense atmosphere right from the start, contrasting the warmth of holiday traditions with the lurking terror of a monster eager for its Christmas feast. The pacing has its moments of eerie calm, allowing the viewer to sit with the family’s sorrow before the tension ramps up. Practical effects, although modest, deliver some effective scares, especially when the creature reveals itself. Performances are solid, capturing the family's distress and fear, making it all the more unsettling. It’s a twist on holiday horror that explores themes of loss and the darkness that can overshadow even the cheeriest of seasons. Definitely one to dig out if you fancy something a bit offbeat for the holidays.
