IMDb 5.7 Metacritic 59 RT 86%

The critical split here is a red flag: RT loves it, but IMDb users are lukewarm and Metacritic is just okay. That gap usually means it's a divisive indie with a clever hook that doesn't quite land for everyone. Skip it unless dark family comedies are your exact jam.

Plot

When a Filipino-American family reunites for a Christmas party, the holiday takes a dark turn when they conspire to murder the abusive bully of the family.
