A Christmas Horror Story is a surprisingly fun ride. The film follows a few very different Christmas tales, which miraculously mostly manage to increasingly intertwine as the movie progresses (and occasionally quite smartly) with nice pay-offs. It is pleasingly and crisply shot and edited for a movie at this level, made with a clear love of both Christmas and the horror genre (a droll and on-form Shatner provides a linking central DJ figure like Adrienne Barbeau in The Fog), and a game cast is mostly effective. It is a completely bonkers but entertaining movie, and this is the place to go if you want to see a kick-ass Santa face off against undead elves!
