Merry Xmas

About This Movie

Merry Xmas (2020) is an interesting piece in the horror genre, playing with the classic trope of a family moving into a haunted house. The Johnsons, particularly Olivia, the eldest, are drawn into a chilling atmosphere where the house’s history looms large. The pacing is deliberately slow, letting the tension build while Olivia grapples with her perception of reality. The practical effects, though not groundbreaking, add a tangible creepiness that fits well with the film's overall aesthetic. Performances, especially from Olivia, manage to evoke a sense of isolation and desperation that is hard to shake. It’s distinct in how it explores themes of belief and skepticism within a family dynamic, making you question what is truly real and what is imagined.
