Some of the films are haunting, some of them more macabre, but all of them play with holiday symbolism in way that will make viewers rethink a lot of their favorite celebrations.

Like pretty much all anthologies some segments are clearly superior than **** you love anthologies I'd recommend you seeing it but, it doesn't bring anything new and apart from the last 3 segments, the movie is pretty boring.

Some good, some bad, but mostly average segments in this anthology film with a fitting horror premise. Valentine's Day - So far overdone that even if it had wit or panache it couldn't have been saved. St. Patrick's Day - There's almost something here but it's either stupid beyond belief or containing a premise not meant for a short. Bewildering. Easter - Really solid overall (with a great Easter Bunny costume/makeup job) but goes nowhere fast. Mother's Day - Interesting to a point, but it's been done and the ending doesn't work. Father's Day - Really well made and creepy, but it goes exactly where you expect and doesn't seem to mean much more than that. Halloween - Ok Kevin Smith, this is lame and gross and not nearly funny enough. Christmas - Entertaining enough. New Year's Eve - Good solid fun. Exactly how a segment of this should be. Really solid twist that doesn't need to be a "gotcha" moment to work.

While each entry satisfies in its own unique way, the anthology as a whole makes for an impressive examination of distaff fears and underestimated ferocity.

Not bad enough to dissuade prospective viewers' from their curiosity. In fact, the whole feather-light affair is practically redeemed by a single entry: writer/director Anthony Scott Burns' superbly spooky Father's Day segment.

Like a family dinner with an eccentric uncle, Holidays’ quirkiness is fitfully entertaining, but ultimately exhausting.

The film mostly feels perfunctory and awkward — like calling home at Christmas.

Every short exudes a commercially slick anonymity that effectively flattens any potential excitement.

Extremely ordinary - the very definition of a "5". In fact, it felt a little like going to one of those student film festivals in which you giggle a bit, but it's nothing compared to anthologies that tie things together like the vastly superior Southbound.

It's an enjoyable movie. Nothing great, and nothing too bad. Most of the stories require a little bit of humor to digest. Some were a little too vague, but the New Year's segment is a perfect way to end the movie. Don't expect thrills or any major scares.
