    Like the other reviewer I too thought at the beginning that I was in for a low budget,badly acted trash movie,so I was very surprised when I got an action packed,bloody good movie.The acting was excellent all round and the effects and cinematography were top notch.I found it both funny and sad and a couple of events in it just made me intensely angry,If a movie can draw those emotions from you,then I think,for me,it's a success.Whitney Nielsen (Katherine) was so convincing in her character and so beautiful I guess I fell a little bit in love with her,another sign of a good movie.Cole Gleason (Andy),is so delightfully evil I wanted to jump in and kill him myself AND D.J. Hale (Eddie) was just hilarious.This is a must see for anyone who loves a good comedy/horror.

    When I started to watch this movie I did not know what to expect but it was actually quite hilarious I laughed through the movie I watched it from start to finish at fyirst I thought it was going to be some low-quality movie but the acting it wasn't like Oscar award winning but it was actually pretty good I believe every character added some spice to the script and it was good I liked it Even the parts that weren't supposed to be particularly funny were funny.

    I was expecting a horrible movie but DJ Hale made this movie. He was hilarious and his part is unforgettable. Great acting, good story. Pleasantly surprised by this sleeper.

    You'll know it when you see it.

    This movie started out like a fairly low budget, less than B grade movie( yes there are c grade movies, d and f grade, this seemingly a C grade at least). When SUDDENLY at the cannibal cave, things took a turn. This movie had a lot of dark humor, but peppered with an unbelievably naive protagonist with a heart of gold, in the body of a fat mister clean. The music got better, as did the plot as I was otrn between the seemingly normal on the outside family having "dinner" every night, to almost hating the perceived weakness of the victims. But whom would totally be ready for this kinda treatment? I really began to like the main lead, whom had a heart of gold, as well as the sour, dour and not much of a flowery gal pal that he met in the "dungeon" like basement of horrors, a la unt abattoir. Coupled with a cool kid that had more moxy than I ever expected, and some zany shots to really cement scenes into my brain as time went on, this was a pretty good movie overall. Really a sleeper and possible cult gem for the holiday season. No pun intended on the cult part. MERRY F'ed Up XMAS! 7/10 for a new movie favorite! ^~^

    Since I write for a critic site, I don't usually do this, but in this case I must. Mercy Christmas is a treasure, one of the greatest Christmas Horror/Slasher Movies ever made. The acting was surprisingly good, especially from newcomer Steven Hubbell (Michael Brisket), who was a dead-ringer for Andrew Zimmern of Bizarre Foods fame. There was the perfect blend of hair-raising gore and ironic black humor. Even though this was a den of kidnappers, murderers and cannibals, Granny still insisted that everyone attend church service before dinner. OH...My Goat, what a movie. Don't miss this one, it is a classic. 10/10 for excellence.
