A typically erratic horror anthology...

The film mostly feels perfunctory and awkward - like calling home at Christmas.

Like a family dinner with an eccentric uncle, Holidays' quirkiness is fitfully entertaining, but ultimately exhausting.

Some of the films are haunting, some of them more macabre, but all of them play with holiday symbolism in way that will make viewers rethink a lot of their favorite celebrations.

A series of stupid, baffling, and pointless horror segments that go nowhere...

It's a middle-of-the-road anthology but boasts great energy and a sense of humor that runs throughout, helping make even the mediocre entries watchable.

"Holidays" is frustrating because its creators all have something good going for them, but almost consistently have no ideas of what to do.
