When I saw the trailer for this film, I rather thought it war a paradoy, though I find most horror films laughable, just churning them them out over and over again, all rubbish as far as I can tell. I think doing on on Christmas, well I think it is an equally crap idea. On religious lines, well (from a British perspective at least) few people seam to think of it in religious terms, it's a cultural holliday full of comercialism and the religious groups seam to be over reacting to it, it's effect and meaning would be negligable unless they make an issue of it, I would understand if religious tones were more apparent, for example being killed by being impailed on a model of Jesus, or the killer being a religious psycho. So it's a horror set on Christmas day, there are bigger things to be complaining about, and that it's released on Christmas day, well anyone who cares much about the Christmas spirit probably won't decide to go out to a cinema and watch a horror film on it will they? I don't know many people who goes to the cinema at christmas anyway and those who do go watch kids films as a family. I say, let the public decide if it's warrented, meanwhile perhaps people can return to doing something about worth while things? Like third world poverty?
