Good production value, cinematography, sound and effects. Some holiday dedication to family matters and characters. It's always a bit unsettling when the family adults and dropping F-bombs among young children -- those type of things degrade the possible deep family bond that we'd want to intensify the threat of the villains and contrast the cold void of the villains.

Perhaps a classic case of a film not knowing what it wants to be, too many chefs, trying to be everything. It would have been easy to clean it up and bit and become an effective family film -- which is not to say it would be for kids, nor just 'safe' for kids, but would be enjoyable to adults as a family film, which seems to be a lost concept.

Finally managed to watch it the whole way through and I can only agree with your rating. I was honestly bored all the way through.
