Reviews:
There are about the same ratio of hits to misses in 13 Slays Till Xmas but on the whole, I enjoyed this more than I was expecting, Blood Moon Pictures movies not exactly being a guarantee of quality. The overall tone is consistent and none of the stories outstays their welcome (often a problem when assembling shorts together). Good work.” Bloody Flicks
“It’s not hard to tell that 13 Slays Till Xmas was clearly created by people with a lifelong passion for horror, because the entire film was littered with references and homages to the genre […] While some of the segments were no doubt more memorable than others, 13 Slays Till Xmas was still a great addition to the ever-growing list of more sinister films based around the Yuletide season.” Dread Central
” …viewer mileage will vary with a few of the performances and segments in 13 Slays Til X-Mas, but overall the movie delivers a strongly recommended holiday — year-round, actually — viewing experience that offers something for just about every stripe of horror fan.” Gruesome magazine
“13 Slays has a huge ensemble cast and a list of directors reads like the whos’ who of the indie horror genre. Each actor poured their hearts into their roles and it shows. And the directors all brought their own style and flavor, yet all the segments fit together flawlessly, connected by an interesting wrap-around.” Horror Fuel
“Despite some patchy acting 13 Slays Till X-Mas is a welcome addition to the ever-growing seasonal horror genre with some fun stories, lots of Easter eggs to classic horror flicks and a high body count. What more do you need?” The Movie Elite
