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.

"Holidays" is frustrating because its creators all have something good going for them, but almost consistently have no ideas of what to do.
Simon Abrams, RogerEbert.com
Rotten
The film mostly feels perfunctory and awkward - like calling home at Christmas.
Noel Murray, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Like a family dinner with an eccentric uncle, Holidays' quirkiness is fitfully entertaining, but ultimately exhausting.
Katie Rife, AV Club

Seeing how visionaries new and old foster an idea of things that go bump in the night is what keeps viewers coming back for more, and when anthologies add as many twists as Holidays, aficionados are always ready for the next installment.
