There’s no nuance or real elements of tension or surprise. But it’s fun in that it’s such obvious wish fulfillment that it goes down like a slice of holiday pie.

Maintains the inherent queerness of Mackay's perspective, looking to 80s slashers to give us a unique twist on a familiar genre with a developing maturity that is fascinating to witness.

While Carnage for Christmas would benefit from more compact storytelling and less artistic editing, the film does feature standout performances, especially from Moineau as Lola, and an original backstory based on a terrifying and distinctive urban legend.

Rated: 3/5

There’s a lot to love about this festive bloodbath despite it being surrounded by many elements that don’t work.

Rated: 5/10

Mackay is a talented and prolific filmmaker (take a look at her filmography to see how much work she puts out at a clip), but the level of filmmaking craft rises way above the material here.
