“Holidays does a few things right, and a lot of things wrong, and because of this, Holidays becomes a one time viewing. I donu0026#39;t ever see myself revisiting this flick intentionally.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLet me start off by talking about some of my favorite parts. Easter was a creepy highlight. But it didnu0026#39;t flesh anything out enough to make you care about it. This is a problem that almost all the parts have.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eChristmas was my favorite part but it might just be my Seth Green bias. The ending wasnu0026#39;t as predictable as New Years, Valentineu0026#39;s Day, and Halloween.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHalloween was… stupid. And sadly, after Xmas, Easter, and New Years this might be my fourth favorite. You could tell it was Kevin Smith directing it. That doesnu0026#39;t help in my opinion.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNew Years was actually a lot of fun, with 2 awkward characters. You could see the twist coming a mile away but that didnu0026#39;t stop me from enjoying it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eValentineu0026#39;s, St Paddyu0026#39;s Day, Motheru0026#39;s and Fatheru0026#39;s Day all were lacking severely with the worst of them being Motheru0026#39;s Day. The ending was just abrupt and confusing. Fatheru0026#39;s Day had a lot of good build up to an awful ending. Valentineu0026#39;s Day really reminded of something out of Creepshow. Again it was predictable and the characters were way too over the top and just not believable in the slightest.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSt. Paddyu0026#39;s Day had a lot of potential as it had a little girl who was seriously creepy. The ending was just bizarre and the whole build up was a u0026quot;WTFu0026quot; moment. It went from Day 12 to Day 366 in an instant.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all this was not a good anthology movie, nowhere near Creepshow or Trick ru0026#39; Treat quality.”
