Leave your thoughts about Red Christmas.
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghOne of the most beautifully lit and photographed horror films since Dario Argento's Suspiria. |
| Film ThreatMalik AdánRed Christmas is a solid, goofy and disturbing slasher that'll have you wary of unannounced visitors during the holidays. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian Orndorf"Red Christmas" avoids complete tastelessness due to Wallace's sincerity, and it's a shame she isn't the sole focus of the film. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A nasty, unpleasant, poorly constructed, and confused movie I was anxious to see end. |
| StarburstScott ClarkUnderneath the warm, if cynical, family sentiment, Red Christmas is a dark and luridly coloured home invasion film. |
| Concrete PlaygroundSarah WardCraig Anderson doesn't always hit the marks he's aiming for, but he certainly gives his distinctive brand of seasonal, blood-splashed mayhem a spirited try. |

| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeGory and offensive, but lacking in the scare department. |
