Ho boy this movie was fun. I started giggling approximately 30 seconds in, as the sharp skewering of holiday celebrations started, and didn't stop until after the credits finished. Mike Dougherty, the creator of Trick R Treat, has created another perfect holiday horror-comedy ode to the pagan spirit of a holiday. While not a perfect movie, there's both a sincere love and mischievous spirit infused into every frame. resulting in an effort just fun to watch. While, admittedly, some parts of the film can just be mean, and several of the characters exist as mockery straw-men, there's just so much wicked fun to be had, I was willing to overlook minor flaws. This isn't anything very gory or scary, but there are certainly some very creepy moments, and a beautifully animated sequence more than justifying price of admission. The ending gets a little surreal, but I found it satisfying, and I loved the imagery during the credits. So much fun.
