Clash, slash , give me my money back

The Naughty List of Mr. Scrooge might have sounded like a clever concept on paper-a horror twist on Charles Dickens' classic character-but the execution is an absolute disaster from start to finish. What could've been a darkly comedic, eerie spin on A Christmas Carol turns into a cheap, directionless mess that doesn't know if it wants to be scary, funny, or festive. Instead, it's none of the above.The biggest problem lies right in the title character himself. Scrooge, who should've been an imposing, psychologically layered villain, is reduced to a complete joke. There's no menace, no charisma, no complexity-just a caricature in a wig that looks like it came straight from a Party City clearance bin. The costume department clearly had no budget, but that's no excuse for the visual disaster on screen. His look alone pulls you out of the film before he even says a word, and once he starts talking, the acting doesn't save it.The direction feels completely uninspired, as if nobody behind the camera had a vision beyond "make a horror movie about Scrooge." The cinematography is flat, the lighting is inconsistent, and the editing is choppy enough to make scenes feel disconnected. The production team should've caught these glaring issues immediately-especially how cheap and unconvincing the main character looked. But instead, everything plays out like a first draft that somehow made it to release.The screenplay doesn't help either. It's filled with incoherent dialogue, plot holes, and tonal confusion. It's never clear what kind of horror film this wants to be-slasher, supernatural, or psychological-and the story jumps around with no rhythm or logic. The few attempts at emotional beats or Christmas-themed horror fall completely flat. Every time it looks like the movie might find a bit of traction, it derails itself with laughable dialogue or overacted nonsense.The cast tries, but it's hopeless. Their performances are exaggerated and cartoonish, as if they were told to play to a theater crowd instead of a camera. There's no chemistry between anyone, and scenes that should feel tense or eerie just come across as forced and awkward. It's hard to tell whether they were directed poorly or just trying to make sense of a broken script-but either way, it's painful to watch.The Naughty List of Mr. Scrooge could've been a fun cult film-a twisted, campy horror take on a Christmas classic. Instead, it's a masterclass in what not to do when adapting a beloved story into a new genre. Between the atrocious costume design, the incoherent writing, and the misguided performances, this movie is a complete train wreck. Unless you're collecting the worst holiday horror movies ever made, skip this one entirely-it belongs on its own naughty list.

A Thrilling Ride Derailed by a Last-Minute Plot Turkey

Rating Breakdown: Story - 0.75 :: Direction - 1.50 :: Pace - 1.50 :: Performances - 1.25 :: Entertainment - 1.50 :::: TOTAL - 6.50/10.00.Ah, The Naughty List of Mr. Scrooge (2024)-a dark, festive chiller that's as much a visual treat as it is a suspenseful ride. With stunning direction, moody lighting, and dazzling scene compositions, this film is a gift to the senses. Even the pacing is a triumph, pulling you through a whirlwind of tension, release, and jaw-dropping moments.The cast shines too, bringing wit, mystery, and a touch of camp to their roles. The relationships crackle with catty, Noël Coward-esque banter that's as sharp as a candy cane sharpened to a deadly point. It's fun, it's thrilling, and for most of its runtime, it's one to savour.But then comes the ending. Oh, the ending. Without spoiling things, let's just say the reveal is predictable, and the killer's motivation? Laughably flimsy. It's a twist that lands with the grace of a drunk Santa falling off a roof, and it left me colder than a December night.That said, everything leading up to the finale is so well-crafted that it's hard to dismiss the film entirely. Watch it for the suspense, the stellar direction, and the fun performances-but know that the destination won't quite live up to the ride.

Had potential but failed before the end

After watching this movie earlier, I was going to give it a four star rating out of ten but alas this movie bombed and got worse before the end and that is why I gave a three out of ten.This film even though it was a cheap movie it quite a lot of potential it didn't live up to it.The killings were not badly done and for once didn't rely on cgi which is a plus.The acting was fine for a b movie but what happened towards the end?The acting got worse as the movie went on not better, which was strange.So I gave it watch and then thought okay, it wa a worth that and that was it.Three stars and no more, if anymore people rate this highly then they are lying or have something to do with the movie.
