Great movie. Much better horror film than some boring blockbusters. The concept and idea have some degree of originality and a great ending.

As silly as these movies can be, this is a really good iteration, and it's the best rendition of a demon I've seen on screen for a long time.

Very creepy and unsettling. Recommend.

Great horror movie, definitely must see!

I loved it! I'll be adding it to my list of yearly Christmas movies! Great writing, acting and directing. If you haven't seen it, check it out!

The Advent Calendar ist ein spannender Horror-Thriller von Patrick Ridremont… Eva war Tänzerin, aber durch einen Unfall querschnittsgelähmt. Zum Geburtstag schenkt ihm Sophie einen seltsamen Adventskalender… Ein verwunschener Adventskalender, eine gute intelligente Vorweihnachtliche Geschichte… Ein nachdenklicher Horrorfilm auf Mystery Basis… mit einer gelungenen schauspielerischen Leistung der Darsteller und ihrer Charaktere… The Advent Calendar ist sehenswert…

Overall, I found this film to be a sweet treat, and I had a great time with it.  It's filled with great elements of horror, thriller, and even drama.  The performance of Eugénie Derouand is impressive and stunning, and the pacing is great.  As the movie progresses, it grows into something far bigger than I expected, with a few twists and turns along the way.  Highly creative and great to watch visually, this is one film that will be a nice present for horror fans this Christmas.

The movie has interesting enjoyable story with great atmosphere and good development. Altough I would expect it as a Shudder movie to be budget restricted, but it looks and sounds good. I recommend.

Really good suspense movie. Reminded me of best Japanese movies of same genre.

The Advent Calendar is a spine-tingling thriller with a gripping storyline and rapid development, that leaves a place for thought. The story revolves around Eva (Eugénie Derouand), a dancer who became paraplegic after the car accident. Good acting and cracking dialogues makes Eva's emotions feel real. She's not morally white, like any human. The mystic side makes viewers make various assumptions, and it's exhilarating. A proper combination of lighting, sounds, and colors adds to the atmosphere. This film tackles such issues as living in our society with a disability, family, friends, and hard choices. As for me, the way it's displayed is controversial. I wouldn't call the movie very progressive, but it leaves a lot of place for insight. I recommend it as a good movie choice for a night with friends with a good talk after.

With interesting premises, what starts as basic horror ends up being a pretty enjoyable if not scary full of thrills ride of a holiday movie sticking to its calendar. There are some genuine ideas and the movie is visually solid. The main actress is invested and effective and you get some clever spins on the day by day horrifying surprises out of the calendar's boxes. The only dowpoint might be the scene with the demon at the river that looks like taken from a different b-movie but overall certainly not revolutionary but still really enjoyable.

It suffers a little when "ich" comes out of the box, but otherwise it's a big brew of treats each day of the month. If she wants to get her dancing abilities back, Eva has some serious decisions to make.

Don’t think of it as a horror film or alternative Christmas movie and you’ll enjoy. I never had the problem of guessing every single turn and to me that is gold. It’s more mysterious and spooky than jump out of your couch scary but I really loved the dark ride and enjoyed the treat behind every door. Score is slightly heavy handed but everything else is top shelf. Insanely immersed acting, sweet revenge scenes, believable dream logic to it all. Great none of the above Shudder pic if you’re sick of the old slasher in the woods trope etc

Amateurish, confusing, bad acted mess.

WHO gifts a stolen object to their best friend? lol. especially when that stolen item has death threats written all over it from a different country, haha. also - an advent calendar is a weird birthday gift. however, this was much better than i was expecting it to be - although i wasn't expecting it to be much. it was really done rather well, but i do wish it was maybe a little "more" - more scary, more gorey, etc. but overall not a bad watch at all.

This was a fresh story in a genre that usually has far too much repetition.

Worth a watch. Creepy

It had an interesting idea, and average execution. The "monster" reminded me of pyramid head if he, you know, didn't have a pyramid head which still looked fairly cool. Felt kind of paint by numbers and failed to stick the landing, but still ok.

It was interesting, the use of the advent calendar was unique.
