HOLIDAYS [2016]

A gaggle of genre directors (including Kevin Smith & Nicholas McCarthy) band together to create Holidays, a pretty tedious horror anthology that is more huge miss than minor hit.
Nobody seems to have brought their A-game to this mess of a film and it hurts the enjoyment of it quite a bit.  There's a few moments of interest, mostly Nicholas McCarthy's hilariously offensive Easter segment but you're better off avoiding this uninspired amateurish shit-fest at nearly all costs.

DRACULA UNTOLD [2014]

Director Gary Shore's Dracula Untold is Universal's first step to get on Marvel Comics Universe bandwagon and make up a huge film franchise by gathering up all the classic Universal monsters into one cinematic world.
Twisting around the classic story of Dracula, this film starts with Prince Vlad as a mere human who trades his soul to protect his kingdom from those nasty Turks.  It's by no means a horror film and relishes in being a hokey action flick riddled with plotholes galore.  It has flashes of being quite entertaining but seems to fall flat all too often to make it a worthwhile guilty pleasure.  Visually the film is quite pleasing and Charles Dance is an absolute delight as he chews up any scene he's in.  If you're open to the character of Count Dracula being neutered than you might find it more forgiving than I did.
