I saw "A Christmas Horror Story" on Netflix last night and then noticed William Shatner... Ok, that might be entertaining.
Sadly... William Shatner is the only reason to watch this flick.
The problem of this type of story it 'tries' to take itself very seriously and 'tried' to make-itself very smart by entwining 4 stories into one package. The problem with this is that we are watching 'A Christmas Horror Story' with the cover of Santa fighting a demon - so being serious should be tossed out the window. The other problem was entwining the stories, the scenes jumped and in some cases: like when the mother captures a demon* in her house and the next time we visit the scene she's at forest. - anyway can get a little confusing.
*[Sorry I'm not going to spoil it]
I think the entwining of the scenes would work if the characters were more connected (then loosely connected as in this story) and maybe - less trying to be serious.
I will admit that the story did kept me watching, I'm not sure why, maybe it's because I was trying to figure the Santa vs Zombie Elves angle... (on the other hand, I sort of wished that a Russian jet with toxic chemicals sort of crashed near the North Pole - Heck that would make a better movie!!!!)
Story wasn't confusing... but I think breaking the story into 4 single parts would do more justice for each tale.
