Holidays is a fun romp with flashes of brilliance. Read full review

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. Read full review

While each entry satisfies in its own unique way, the anthology as a whole makes for an impressive examination of distaff fears and underestimated ferocity. Read full review

Like a family dinner with an eccentric uncle, Holidays’ quirkiness is fitfully entertaining, but ultimately exhausting. Read full review

Not bad enough to dissuade prospective viewers' from their curiosity. In fact, the whole feather-light affair is practically redeemed by a single entry: writer/director Anthony Scott Burns' superbly spooky Father's Day segment. Read full review

The film mostly feels perfunctory and awkward — like calling home at Christmas. Read full review

Every short exudes a commercially slick anonymity that effectively flattens any potential excitement. Read full review

Like pretty much all anthologies some segments are clearly superior than others.If you love anthologies I'd recommend you seeing it but, it doesn't bring anything new and apart from the last 3 segments, the movie is pretty boring.

Some good, some bad, but mostly average segments in this anthology film with a fitting horror premise.

Valentine's Day - So far overdone that even if it had wit or panache it couldn't have been saved. St. Patrick's Day - There's almost something here but it's either stupid beyond belief orSome good, some bad, but mostly average segments in this anthology film with a fitting horror premise.

Valentine's Day - So far overdone that even if it had wit or panache it couldn't have been saved.

St. Patrick's Day - There's almost something here but it's either stupid beyond belief or containing a premise not meant for a short. Bewildering.

Easter - Really solid overall (with a great Easter Bunny costume/makeup job) but goes nowhere fast.

Mother's Day - Interesting to a point, but it's been done and the ending doesn't work.

Father's Day - Really well made and creepy, but it goes exactly where you expect and doesn't seem to mean much more than that.

Halloween - Ok Kevin Smith, this is lame and gross and not nearly funny enough.

Christmas - Entertaining enough.

New Year's Eve - Good solid fun. Exactly how a segment of this should be. Really solid twist that doesn't need to be a "gotcha" moment to work.… Expand

Extremely ordinary - the very definition of a "5". In fact, it felt a little like going to one of those student film festivals in which you giggle a bit, but it's nothing compared to anthologies that tie things together like the vastly superior Southbound.

It's an enjoyable movie. Nothing great, and nothing too bad. Most of the stories require a little bit of humor to digest. Some were a little too vague, but the New Year's segment is a perfect way to end the movie. Don't expect thrills or any major scares.
