Christmas Horror : It's A Wonderful Knife (2023) Spoiler Free Movie Review | Spookyastronauts

[@spookyastronauts]

Hi friends, as many of you know via my socials or community post, we lost Gromit this week. Please note this video was recorded before then and was supposed to be up days ago. I've only just finished it now, wanted to explain why the tone is a bit different than expected.

Sending love ❤❤

Yes I saw or respects for your loss if you wanted to take a hiatus or anything we'd completely understand that.

[@pdzombie1906]

My condolences! ❤

[@shell1338]

I'm so deeply sorry Emma for your loss. We never have enough time with our fur babies. 🌈

[@Mdgeist316]

I'm so sorry for your loss.

[@juliamorin7102]

Sorry for your loss. 😢

[@umbrellaunderdog]

Really sorry for your loss, best wishes to you, take as much time off as you need.. For as little time I spent with your channel, I'm an animal lover and have had dogs as pets all my life. I know the feeling it's like losing a part of yourself.. I'll miss him.. And I'll keep supporting your channel. Much love to you. R.I.P. Gromit... lost but not forgotten. and forever in our hearts..

[@mihajlomarkovic9984]

Hopefully you're doing well, if you need to take time off from making videos know that you can do that. Love you

[@danielcarlson5362]

I do agree there's a rushed quality, but it's also a plus for me because it encourages a double feature. I loved all the character stuff (I found one aspect particularly moving), and Justin has never been so smarmy. lol. Plus, the mask is pretty awesome! I think I'll be watching this one every year. There seems to be a love it or hate it quality to this movie for some fans, but I really thought it was great fun. :)

The GF & I suffered through this one just hoping for a redemption that just never came to be. Unfortunate. We did hover feel that Justin Long's character was a lampoon of Joel Osteen which was worth note & probably long overdue. I felt like Totally Killer delivered the sentiment this movie tried to but ultimately, it felt like this one just never picked a lane & went all in.

[@GlorieBee218]

Awwwwm I'm so so so sorry, my heart goes out to your family.

[@Asian_Movie_Enthusiast]

Nice review. On a related note, I'm really looking forward to Terrifier 3 next year.

[@RandomHorror]

Yeah this trend is hit state making beloved Classics Horrors they did it with Groundhog Day, Winnie The Pooh, The Grinch and now It's A Wonderful Life. Yes the Ghost of ChristmasTube Present will be reviewing this in my Christmas Carol special.

[@maddygalloway4119]

It's dialogue is a little clunky sometimes, but I love how aggressively wholesome and sweet this movie is and I love this cast. Its an 8/10 for me😊

[@YourWealthCome]

I'm going to watch it when it comes to streaming. Sorry for your loss :(

[@bloodygoodjune9292]

I saw this in a decently packed theater early for a Regal Monday Mystery Movie and had a blast. I think it was a good crowd movie.

[@stefaniecaldwell7373]

Going to watch right now Thankyou!!!

[@nintendogamingchannel1007]

Spookyastronauts I recommend you watch Masters of Horror Episode: The Washingtonian, Tales from the Darkside: Anniversary Dinner, Twilight Zone Episode: To Serve Man.

[@entertainmentfan1463]

Totally agree the short runtime was a detriment to the movie and that it should've been longer to flesh out aspects of the movie. 6 out of 10 does sound like a rating I'll agree about too. Also fun fact about the couples in this film. I was listening to a interview from Jane Widdop (Winnie) about this movie and found out originally Winnie and Bernie weren't suppose to get together and become a couple. Instead it was Jane and Jess McLeod (Bernie) themselves who suggested to the writer/director to have their characters go that direction because Jane is gay in real life and sounds like Jess is too going off what Jane was saying in her interview. I do know this has happened in the past before where the creators either unknowingly or knowingly hired a gay or bi actor in a role and the actor request to the creators if their characters can go the gay route and the creators were fine with the idea.

[@filmfangirls9163]

Im enjoying these films that are horror versions of iconic films.

[@Mdgeist316]

I saw it at the Telluride Horror Show back in October. I think my main issue with the movie is the tonal inconsistency. There are times where it went from being dark and serious to adding these comedy bits out of nowhere that (as you pointed out) felt cringey at times. I enjoyed it, but it definitely needed to be fleshed out a little more. I walked away feeling like there was a better movie tucked away in here if it were a little longer.

[@sarahsheppard9957]

I enjoyed it I hope they bring it out on dvd

[@mikesilva3868]

Great review 🎉

[@adam-l74]

Although I loved Totally Killer, this was a miss for me. Glad other folks enjoyed it though.

[@peteanderson6113]

Keep up your great videos even thou I imagine your mind is elsewhere atm. When you mentioned Gromit’s passing the other day I wrote you a pretty long message so hopefully you’ve read it and it helped, even if it was just a tiny bit. And if you need some time away from here please do so. Take care ok, From Aussie Pete 💜💚🩵💙❤️🩷

"MYYY LIP'S BLEEDIN' BUUUUUURT!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! MY F-IN' LIPS TORN OFF, BURT!!!!!! ZUZU'S EYEBAAAAALLLLLLS! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[@Smashbro2013]

Just watched this last night! Thought the dialog was kinda cringy but I appreciated how positive the ending was considered a lot of slashers are very bleak.

[@solarflame-he6cw]

I gave it the same score. I enjoyed it overall

[@BlacEyedPriest765]

I would like to see this I like how it's a take on the classic it's a wonderful life but horror 😊😊😊

[@RavenHouseMystery]

I saw the film on VOD and I wished I could have liked it more. The premise, the Christmas atmosphere, and the "Angel" slasher were all handled well. However, I think the filmmakers were really going for the comedy instead of the horror. That might explain why some characters acted a bit strange and some clunky dialogue. The ending also left me with questions. Common problem I find with a "time travel" or "alternate timeline" plot.

[@mattfleurant9295]

Meh, at least it was bound to be a better Christmas themed horror movie than Black Christmas 2019.

[@sailorjupiter4]

i love watching justin long in horror movies and was excited to see katharine isabelle (aka margot verger ;) …..but the movie was cringe; i couldn’t take it after 20 min lmao it made “totally killer” looks like a masterpiece (just w/ diff holidays)

[@vanessalaughtland4417]

I enjoyed this but I couldn't help but feel it was rushed so I agree with you on that one. Also just moments that didn't make sense and were a bit plot holey. It was fun though!

[@spookyastronauts]

Yeah it was fun just a bit messy!

[@wolverinescratch]

Just watched Disquiet and oh dear what's happening?

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

That mask for the killer is.... well.... KILLER. I think I've found another fun project for next Halloween. What a cool and easy costume that would be!

[@mattmccomas1]

Above average, that's for sure. Simple, yet effective. Usually the best ones.

[@mattmccomas1]

I really wanted to like it, but it just didn't click with me. Really good cast, but I didn't care for the lead too much. Like Emma said, the movie was way too rushed, and I just honestly didn't care through out the movie. Joel McHaIe has some nice moments though. I would probably give it a 3.5/10. Hell, tis the season 4/10 it is, for Joel. Glad other people are enjoying it, and I don't mean to be a Grinch. I was really looking forward to this one.

[@TheRICKY85]

But, wasn't There's Something In The Barn the first Christmas horror of the year....?

[@spookyastronauts]

I watched it before it was in the “spirit” not that I have any of that anyway

[@TheRICKY85]

[@suzybearheart530]

The romance between Bernie and Winnie bugged me. It would have been far more impactful to just let it be a meaningful friendship like George Bailey and Clarence.

[@iW34Rglasses00]

I agree. They did however build to that the whole movie. Or at least for me they seemed to have this romantic tension the whole movie so it didn't come out of the blue, at least for me.

[@Horrorzeit]

It was a no for me. Thanks for the vid 🎉

[@TheHorrorMiserMontyG]

First off, sending prayers for Gromit. I thought this was an average slasher at best as I felt the film use terrible CGI effects on some of the kills. I did like some of the emotional moments in the film, some of the dialogue was clunky at times.

[@CDIII]

I liked the Justin Long's character, but the rest of the film was hard to get through for me. Thumbs down.

[@kevinbrasher5588]

This was sub-par. Totally Killer was a much better slasher recently released.

[@woodsro]

These high concept slashers seem to have become a thing lately. Again I liked the idea of the premise with this one but felt the slasher portion and comedy (was it trying to be a comedy? Maybe not) was pretty average.

[@iW34Rglasses00]

I enjoyed this movie but it is very flat the whole way through. It builds tension in the begining and when she first gets transported to the alternate timeline and then it coast the rest of the movie. The climax is so boring i was speechless thats how it ended. SPOILERS... They just kill him with zero effort and then go back. Like wtf. Imagine if you were watching friday the 13th and then at the final battle the Mc just manhandles Jason for 20 seconds and kills him without him even fighting back. Like seriously this is the evil mastermind.

👺👺👺

[@glenngould7299]

This is woke horror with guys kissing a stuff. If this is the new normal i am out.

[@indauroleal7953]

I had to stop watching. Too silly!

[@mikemcwong]

This movie sucked.

[@Neat0_o]

Everything about this movie is what I hate about movies these days. Dull, seen it all before, and….BORing.
