Holiday Hostage

About This Movie

So, 'Holiday Hostage' is a unique blend of comedy and tension, a Thanksgiving setting that adds a weird layer of familial dysfunction. You’ve got this couple, Abby and David, just trying to escape their overbearing mother, but enter Gary, this ex-con who crashes the party – literally. The pacing is pretty tight, keeping that awkward humor flowing while the stakes rise. There's something really distinct about how the comedy interacts with the hostage situation; it’s both absurd and relatable. The performances, especially the leads, do a great job balancing the chaos and the family's quirks. And it’s interesting to see how it navigates family dynamics amidst all that madness. Not your typical holiday film, for sure.
