Unholy Night is a bunch of fun, well-crafted, and a breath of fresh Holiday air in the living dead subgenre. Go to Full Review Ygraine Hackett-Cantabrana What a Scream Podcast 11h
2.5/5
Unholy Night fails to make any sort of mark in the horror genre of festive frights. Go to Full Review Jeff Nelson WeHo Times 22h
2.5/5
While this Christmas horror adventure has some standout moments, it's a lot less balls-to-the-wall than expected. Go to Full Review Matt Hudson What I Watched Tonight 1d
2.5/5
Delivers entertaining bursts of gore, comedy and genuine emotion, yet its uneven storytelling prevents those moments from fully coming together. It's an enjoyable enough effort with flashes of promise, but one that ultimately falls short of its ambitions. Go to Full Review Matthew Jackson Pop Heist 1d
This is a twisty, well-paced, very fun holiday horror delight with surprising emotional resonance, and it'll be making its way into my Christmas movie rotation for years to come. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 1d
3/5
For a zombie film, it is remarkably sanguine. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
