Plot:

Disfigured and cloaked, they feel sorry for him until they discover his extreme religious motives and anti-abortion message…
Reviews:
“Dialogue seems to be Anderson’s main strength in Red Christmas, and he is at his best when satirising the horror genre as a whole. For example, taking running shots at mobile communication breakdowns as a stock standard contrivance in slasher flicks, and of course, having the characters make unnecessarily bold moves that end up being stupid mistakes.” Chris Singh, The Iris
