My quick rating - 4.5/10. This slasher flick did something very few can do. You really feel bad for the killer in this movie. They went far out of the way to make you to feel sorry for him even if he is cutting people in half with an axe. The story here is a left-for-dead unsuccessful abortion child who comes back for the loving of his mother. But when that is not what he gets, he heads down the revenge route. But being left on the hospital room floor also had some serious consequences in his development. If you watch, you will get a glimpse of this mutation. Like I said, they want you to feel bad for him and it works. But the most distracting thing about this whole movie is just how stupid every last character is. To the point it is distracting. A bad decision or two is one thing, but this movie is just out of control, tropes times a thousand. Even with this major setback, it still ends up being a passable flick to check out, Christmas horror or not.
