Tyler MacIntyre's festive slasher is full of seasonal warmth to guard against the chills of the horrors its protagonist faces.
The latest in the growing line of slasher twists on established family-friendly tales sees Tyler MacIntyre put a bloody spin on Frank Capra’s festive favorite It’s a Wonderful Life.goes darker than its biggest influence, but it never forgets to keep that hopeful, warm heart, perhaps to its detriment at times.), Winnie Carruthers’ life is less than wonderful. Everyone tries to forget the horrors of what happened, and she’s left to deal with the trauma of what she’s personally lost.
Long’s Henry Waters is undoubtedly the antagonist of the piece, but he’s merely a catalyst for Winnie’s story of discovering her own self-worth and discovering why it’s important to know you matter to someone. I can’t say I expected It’s a Wonderful Knife to go the way it does, zigging where It’s a Wonderful Life zagged, and it’s the film’s gift and curse. I enjoyed its subversion of Capra’s narrative to relay a healthy message of hope that almost felt as uplifting as that movie’s famous ending. But I do think it derails the slasher aspect of the film massively.
