REVIEWS:
““The Advent Calendar” is a creeper of a thriller. It stalks you, sidles up and immerses the viewer in its world and its mood. This Belgian film (in French and German with English subtitles) doesn’t deliver frights or shocks so much as it serves up shivers.” www.rogersmovienation.com
“The FX are not as impressive as the performances, unfortunately, but the creature itself is creepy as hell. Better still, his existence and the origin of the Advent Calendar are left a bit to the imagination. It’s a clever sleight of hand, Ridremont taking advantage of our familiarity with his subgenre when he needs to, while still leaving behind the tangy taste of mystery.” www.maddwolf.com
“As interesting as Eva can be, there are some missteps in The Advent Calendar. The film does a nice job of setting up what the rules of the movie are going to be. Helping matters is they stylish ways in which the film provides dates. Since such a clear job is done laying out the rules, it becomes obvious when they are not followed. This ruins some of the fun. There are many subplots introduced and none of them are resolved.” www.aiptcomics.com
