🎄🔪 This is The Killing Tree (2022) putting a bow on this year's 12 Slays of Christmas! 🔪🎄
There are dumb horror movies.
There are dumb Christmas horror movies.
And then there are movies so profoundly stupid that even other dumb Christmas movies back away slowly and pretend they don’t know them.
Welcome to The Killing Tree — a film that looked at the concept of grief, trauma, and holiday slashers and said, “What if… Christmas tree?”
Yes.
A killer Christmas tree.
Powered by Satan.
Because of course.
In this episode of 12 Slays of Christmas, I break down one of the most baffling holiday horror concepts ever put to film: a serial killer resurrected via satanic ritual and reborn… as a sentient tree with murder on its mind and absolutely no interest in photosynthesis.
We’ll cover: 🎄 The plot that feels like it was generated by mad libs and cocaine
🎄 Why the movie desperately wants to be serious while actively sabotaging itself
🎄 Performances that exist in a reality adjacent to acting
🎄 Budget limitations you can feel in your bones
🎄 And why, despite everything, this movie is kind of fascinating in its audacity
Is it scary?
No.
Is it good?
Also no.
Is it incredible that this exists and someone convinced people to fund it?
Absolutely.
This is the kind of movie you don’t watch because it’s well made — you watch it because it answers the question no one asked:
“What if the true meaning of Christmas was murder… but wooden?”
🎄🔪 And this is why The Killing Tree should be one of your 12 Slays of Christmas! 🔪🎄
