OKay for this short stories they are for the most part there good some are Valentines is somewhat not that good. Let me explain the girl who thinks the coach is attracted too her. Easter fathers day and Halloween are pretty good but I guess the stories were jump out of your seat but you kinda knew what was going to happen. Like for Fathers day you know something was up with Father when the Daughter wanted to see him and something happened to them both. Oh and the other thing for Mothers day you kinda knew but it was still since she gave birth to a grown up man I think.

Horror anthologies are always a risky business. With multiple writers and directors, there's bound to be an inconsistency in quality throughout. At least with this, given that the shorts, all based on a different holiday, are consistently bad, there is a consistent level of quality throughout. Valentine: (2.5/5) A blatant Carrie rip-off with some dangling plot threads and a lack of explanation, but at least it gets the black comedy angle of the anthology right and has a clever ending. St Patrick's Day: (1/5) A laughably stupid dud in every sense. What were they thinking?Easter: (1.5/5) One good jump scare aside, this is tedious, tasteless and toothless. Mother's Day: (1/5) A terrible body horror short where pretty much nothing happens. Oh, and then just when something is happening, it ends. Father's Day: (3.5/5) A cleverly constructed and told short story which is arguably the best of the bunch in many ways, but it's still too open-ended and vague to satisfy. Halloween: (3.5/5) An effective, squirm-inducing dark comedy that is both amusing and uncomfortable, although it is complete nonsense. Christmas: (2.5/5) They had a great idea here... which they did absolutely nothing with and once again it ends just as it's starting to get interesting. New Year's Eve: (2.5/5) More formulaic stuff which is mildly entertaining but just too predictable. These films aren't scary, but they're not meant to be. They're meant to be dark, uncomfortable comedies. Sadly, the stories are weak and just lack any true meaning or point. I learnt something important in Film Studies: when you make a short film, the story should start when the film ends in a way. That's a good thing to remember if you're making a short film and that is basically what all these shorts do. But... don't forget to get the audience interested and actually give them enough information to leave them satisfied! Evidently, these writers and directors forgot that.4/10

Holidays (2016):Anthologies always serve as a good feast for film lovers especially horror film buffs.Everyone loves scary stories and love to watch horror movies.Anthologies act as great platform where no.of horror shorts are shown one after another as a feature film.Holidays is one such anthology feature film that puts a uniquely dark and original spin on some of the most iconic and beloved holidays of all time.We have 8 segments here.1)Valentine's day,written & directed by Kevin Kölsch & Dennis Widmyer.Plot: A teenager with a crush on her gym coach is bullied by the rest of her classmates, but an innocent Valentine's Day gesture leads to horrific results.This short is highly predictable and nothing engaging.Just a below average one. My rating 5/102)St.Patrick's Day,written & directed by Gary ShorePlot: A young teacher,who wants a baby, learns the frightening truth about the legendary snakes of St. Patrick. A student makes her deepest wish come true, with a horrifying twist at end.This short has the best unique idea in this anthology but this short is also one of the bad works here.Despite having such great plot and background score,this short failed to impress with slow narration. My rating 5/103)Easter,written & directed by Nicholas McCarthy.Plot: A young girl who wakes up and sees the Easter Bunny arrive is in for a shock.Easter Bunny is never the same for what they have said in tales.This short has creepiest atmosphere and one of the best makeup work I had ever seen.Easter Bunny's makeup itself gives us creeps.This short is bit silly but still a good scary one.My rating 7/10.4)Mother's Day,written and directed by Sarah Adina Smith.Plot: The concept is basically a young girl becomes pregnant every single time she has sex.She finds herself involved with a coven of barren witches after attending a strange ritual.This short is the most useless entry in this anthology.It is lengthy,uninteresting and highly predictable.Music is great though.Worst one in the list.My rating 4/105)Father's day:Plot: A teacher receives a mysterious cassette tape from her long-estranged father that leads to a darker mystery. The answer for why he disappeared may not be what she expected.This short is without a doubt the most gripping entry in the production.It has everything what a horror film needed.An interesting plot,spooky music,dark atmosphere,nice pace and good acting.But the ending is not at all satisfying.They just gave an unnecessary jump scare and ended it abruptly.Wish this could be corrected and make this into a feature film.My rating 7.5/106)Halloween,written and directed by Kevin Smith.Plot:A man running an internet cam sex business finds himself in dire straits when he crosses his employees on Halloween.This short is hilarious but disturbing revenge horror in this list.The way the cam girls take revenge on their boss is good idea but not great.Just an OK watch.Lesser duration helped it.My rating 6/107)Christmas,written and directed by Scott Stewart.Plot: A man goes to terrible lengths to get a virtual reality device for his son for Christmas, but finds himself haunted by it.This short is a weird one like St.Patrick's day short,This one seems more like technical developments an their effects.My rating 6.5/108)New Year,written by Kevin Kölsch & Dennis Widmyer and directed by Adam Egypt Mortimer.Plot: A psychopath who has a habit of abducting girls who rejects him meets a new date on 31st night.Bit little did he know that that girl is also may be same twisted as himself.A good finish to this anthology.Bit predictable but this short is well made with brilliant performances and cinematography.My rating 7/10.So,Holidays is a mixed bag with both good and bad shorts but at the end it gives a satisfying experience.My rating 6.5/10

So it isn't that easy to make an Anthology after all. That's one of the "positive" things you can take from watching this. If you're mean you could even argue that SyFy has done better feature length movies than most of the shorts being on display here. One thing is for certain: there is not much to cherish to be found here.And it's a shame, because it did sound cool. Kevin Smith alone doing a short sounds great. But then again, I guess even he was either too busy with other stuff or somehow else occupied. Maybe something else happened, you never know, except you do know where the short stories are going. And almost none of them actually can create a mood, a tension, a story or anything else substantial to hold the viewers attention. There are some neat effects (the Easter Bunny story comes to mind) and occasionally a bit of quality that seems to shine through a story. But in the end, it's more like "whatever" and "why did I watch this again?" feelings that overwhelmingly win and leave you befuddled
