Silent Night - 2021 - 6/10

Straight off, this is being marketed as horror. It is not. An apocalypse film, it is closer to Drama / SciFi.
Friends and family gather for the Christmas feast.
Apparently, the final feast.
Expect bad behavior, old injuries revisited, and the airing of dirty laundry
Humor is pithy and biting, although there is not enough.
Dramatic elements are a muddling non-event.
On The Beach (1959) may be the grandfather of these films, but this is weak water.
Another recent holiday apocalypse = Anna And The Apocalypse (2017).
