Film Review – It’s a Wonderful Knife

“It’s a Wonderful Knife” is another offering of cutesy horror, emerging from the mind of screenwriter Michael Kennedy, who played silly and stabby with his “Freaky Friday” take on slasher entertainment, 2020’s “Freaky.” It’s directed by Tyler MacIntyre, who also played around with genre attitudes and teen concerns in “Tragedy Girls.” The men collaborate on a new endeavor, striving to bring some Christmas spirit to a standard stale of horror survival, once again sold with a lighter sense of humor. Actual scares aren’t part of the deal with “It’s a Wonderful Knife,” which never rises above the debatable cleverness of its title. The feature is a loose remake of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” but Kennedy and MacIntyre don’t go full tilt frightmare with the effort, which has its share of bloodshed, but mostly plays like an episode of a CW show.
