Meatballs, mayhem, and a family coming together lest they be pulled apart (literally)—this one’s for my Italian horror lovers out there. Go to Full Review Niall Browne Movies in Focus 1d
2.5/5
I think that as a director Michael Gabriele has the chops – I just don’t think that this is the perfect showcase for his talents. Look, sometimes movies work and sometimes they don’t – and unfortunately, Unholy Night failed to hit the mark. A shame. Go to Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? 2d
6/10
The film is a lot of fun as a result. Gabriele leans into the tone of this genre mash-up as well as the potential to play with our expectations within it. Go to Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 5d
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 5d

Unholy Night fails to make any sort of mark in the horror genre of festive frights. Go to Full Review Jeff Nelson WeHo Times 5d

While this Christmas horror adventure has some standout moments, it's a lot less balls-to-the-wall than expected. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
