Unholy Night’s choice of the Christmas dramedy vehicle to augur the return of the repressed registers as a lamentable waste of its monstrous arsenal and a wholly undercooked swipe at sacrilege. Go to Full Review Roberto Tyler Ortiz Geek Vibes Nation Aug 3

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 Aug 1
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 ...? Jul 31

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 Jul 29
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 Read all reviews
