Reviews:
“It takes over half the film’s runtime to see the titular critter, and when the “big” scene takes off, there’s more a feeling of “That’s it?” Like The Easter Bunny Massacre (another holiday horror film that didn’t work for me), there were elements to play with, but were never explored. The “Christmas” angle was glossed over, and didn’t really feel earned or thematic enough.” Guy Chapman
“The actual weredeer transformation is another part that it is hard to take seriously. The image of Anne Broadway with hoof gloves and deer-like makeup looks rather tatty and you can’t be sure whether you are meant to laugh, or it is just a case of cheap filmmaking.” ★★ Moria
