President's Day

About This Movie

President's Day is a peculiar blend of comedy and horror that really leans into its absurd premise. The setup—a high school election spiraling into chaos due to a killer in an Abe Lincoln costume—carries a certain dark humor that feels tongue-in-cheek. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it somehow works, offering moments of tension alongside genuinely funny bits. Practical effects lend a raw charm, and while the performances might not be Oscar-worthy, they fit the tone well, mixing awkward teen antics with slasher tropes. It's this odd combination of silliness and slasher elements that makes it stand out in the crowded horror-comedy space. Definitely has its quirks, and you'll either love or hate its unique vibe.
