All the Creatures were Stirring (2018) is a movie currently available on Shudder. This movie is made up of a series of short stories involving Christmas activities from work gift exchanges, family holiday dinnners, to holiday traumatic experiences and everything in between.
This movie is codirected by David Ian & Rebekah McKendry in their directorial debut and stars Constance Wu (Crazy Rich Asians), Jonathan Kite (2 Broke Girls), Matt Long (Mad Men), Katie Parker (The Haunting of Hill House) and Makeda Declet (Being Mary Jane).
The movie definitely has a surprise opening and the first story has potential but quickly disappoints. All the stories end up being kind of blah with some having more potential than others but mostly with few elements to get excited about once they conclude. There's no gore or worthwhile kill scenes in this, unfortunately.
Overall this is a disappointing horror short story anthology that I would score a 2/10 and recommend skipping.
