Nightmare on 34th Street has a few fun moments but ultimately falls short.

I recently watched the UK ?? Christmas horror anthology Nightmare on 34th Street (2023) on Tubi. The story follows a young man named Peter as he is visited by Santa, who tells him four short horror stories.Written and directed by James Crow (House of Salem), the film stars Dani Thompson (Christmas Slay), Adam Thomas Wright (The Awakening), and Jon Vangdal Aamaas (The Devil's Machine).This is a low-budget horror anthology that suffers from poor execution and fails to deliver enough substance, despite its lengthy 2-hour, 9-minute runtime. The opening scene is passable, and while the backstories of the segments are somewhat unique, the plots are average at best. The snowman sequence stands out as the most entertaining part of the film. However, the Krampus story features the worst Krampus costume I've ever seen, which detracts significantly from its impact.In conclusion, Nightmare on 34th Street has a few fun moments but ultimately falls short. I'd rate it 4/10 and only recommend it if you go in with low expectations.

Uhm, no?...

Stumbling upon the 2023 horror comedy movie "Nightmare On 34th Street", from writer and director James Crow, here in 2024, of course I opted to sit down and watch it, as it was horror comedy that I hadn't already seen. Sure, I had never heard about the movie prior to stumbling upon it, so I didn't know what I was in for, nor did I have any expectations.Granted, as I am not overly much a fan of horror anthologies in general, then I might have skipped on "Nightmare On 34th Street" if I had known that it was a horror anthology prior to watching it. But having started on the movie already before figuring out it was an anthology, I opted to give writer and director James Crow the benefit of the doubt.Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list here. It should be noted that the acting performances were actually not too bad, just a shame that the contents of the script was subpar and giving the performers very little to work with.I have to say that I found little enjoyment in the stories, or segments, of this anthology, so I should have skipped on it and just chalked it up on a hunch of it being probably just another bad horror anthology. It felt like a rather ambitious home video project."Nightmare On 34th Street" is listed as a horror comedy. Right. Well, you have to look hard and turn over every stone in order to find the comedy here.If you enjoy horror anthologies, do yourself a favor and skip on this one, because this anthology just simply isn't worth the time, money or effort.My rating of "Nightmare On 34th Street" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
