100 Word Reviews - The Nightmare Before Christmas (1994)

This is one of the best alternative Christmas films ever made. Creating a strange composite of Christmas festivities and Gothic arthouse, offering a unique experience that explores the very nature of Christmas, whilst providing a simplistic Gothic romance and a timeless soundtrack of peculiar original songs. It is a visual treat, with a stripped down but unique style that is both fun and creative, yet strangely haunting. Fight the common misconception that this is a film for the strange kid who is obsessed with Tumblr, and sit back to enjoy one of the most beautiful Christmas films of all time.
