So is it just me or did the reveal not make any fucking sense? The sheriff would've had to have been in two different places at once for a ton of this shit to work. When he kidnaps the two kids at the school, don't they show him standing outside the building at the same time standing watch? Then the whole dinner scene, they show the sheriff at the police station, but he's doing all this shit at the same time somehow? Then he's chasing the girl through the woods, yet somehow ended up in front of her knocked out? WTF?!

 

Other than that it's a good, fun slasher and the kills are super gnarly I just wish there was a bit more logic to the mystery.

Saw this the other day and found it to be a fairly enjoyable holiday-themed slasher, even if the plot doesn't hold up especially well to scrutiny (as one should probably expect from a movie based on a fake trailer). However, Eli Roth delivers well enough where it counts: some entertainingly BRUTAL death scenes (the opening Black Friday sequence arguably being the standout) and elements of satire re: the greed the holidays tend to bring out in folks that make it an enjoyable slice of alternative, not so warm and fuzzy seasonal fare.
