This movie is about the ill-fated town that called Bailey Downs because the last Christmas Eve two young people were dead at a school's basement . What makes it worse that this Christmas eve , an evil soul is determined to cage some friends who were finding where the two young people were dead.
Spooky, playful and sometimes gory, but rarely terrifying, the film's more interested in giving each arc some witty social commentary to go along with its scares.
While A Christmas Horror Story doesn't have the qualities of a big theatrical release, like Trick 'r Treat, it's glossy enough to bring joy to those however they end up seeing it.

Though they aren't particularly original or sophisticated, all five narrative panels are relative slow-burners that take their time establishing premise and character before delivering competent gotcha scares - or bloody splatstick ...

...unfortunately the film's most admirable innovation doubles as its greatest problem since all four of the featured stories vary wildly in terms of tone and quality.
