New Flix: Holidays (2016)

With so many major Horror Anthologies still not covered, I might as well...do this new one instead...

With 8 Segments, I can't waste too much time.  Here's the Cliff Notes, non-SPOILER Summaries...

For Valentine's Day, a picked-on girl falls for her Swim Coach and has some bad intentions.

For St. Patrick's Day, a mysterious girl does something to her Teacher.  Will it bring her joy?

For Easter, a young girl finds out that something is up with the Easter Bunny...

For Mother's Day, a woman with a pregnancy-related issue goes to a retreat that gets weird...

For Father's Day, a mysterious tape from the past leads a woman to her Dad...

For Halloween, Kevin Smith brings us a typically-twisted tale of revenge and costumes...

For Christmas, Robot Chicken guy gets some VR Glasses that show may more than they should...

Finally, for New Year's Day, a twisted man tries to find 'love' and it goes awry.

To find out what happens in all of these tales, watch the Film.  It's Streaming on Netflix, so easy.

All sorts of strange, freaky and interesting.  Holidays lives or dies by your opinion of the individual Shorts.  There's no Framing Device or anything here- just Stories set on Holidays.  Given how different every part was, I suppose this is to be expected.  For me, the real winners are Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day.  There are really no bad ones- just ones that are less good.  Mother's Day and Father's Day, for example, are good, but kind of vague overall.  I can appreciate mystery, but I know that the ultimate pay-off will never come.  If you're more into that kind of thing, ignore what I just said.  Likewise, Halloween is just all sorts of implied gross stuff.  It doesn't make it bad- just less liked by me than stuff like St. Patrick's Day.  All in all, Holidays is a fun and interesting Horror Anthology Film.  As a bonus, it has all sorts of fun interstitials that I'll have to find more reasons to use later...

A good mix of weird, graphic and bizarre Horror.  Like any Anthology Film, you'll probably like some more than others.
