"Silent Night" is the antithesis of fun. Whatever the director is trying to do with the movie, it makes it for one big lump of coal in the 2023 cinematic stocking.

The film is just bonkers enough to be wildly entertaining and completely disturbing in equal parts.

MPAA Rating: "NR"
Genre: Musical

Provided the viewer is broad-minded enough not to be bothered by a nearly constant stream of profanity, "Strays" offers a kennel of off-color laughter.

Shines in its sly observances about Asian American cultural idiosyncrasies even though the overarching narrative at times feels derivative and uninspired.

Just as rambunctious, psychedelic, and occasionally spastic as its precursor, but it may not have the same impact following in the footsteps of a trailblazer.

Run Time: 1:31
U.S. Release Date: 2023-04-28
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore)

It glories in the excesses of gore and violence with an exuberance rarely experienced this side of Quentin Tarantino.

Is not about cinematic enjoyment but expanding a brand. Its success relies on name recognition and nostalgia.

An undercooked casserole of cliched narrative elements, underdeveloped characters, juvenile humor, and a deus ex machina cameo.
