Review of Scrooged (1988)

By Jonathan Rosenbaum (1,657) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 22 Jun 2001

Tacky in the extreme, this self-congratulatory 1988 film is an exercise in hypocrisy, indulging every form of Christmas exploitation that it…

One of the scariest films I have seen in years. Not all is explained in the end, but still a very good movie…

Not a bad movie but not great one either. The three stories do play along to the usual tropes of this genre…

A scary story that stumbles due to the style it adopts, but whose twist saves it. Sort of. [Review in Spanish]…

Three ghost stories in a frame narrative that starts out slowly and what seems to be unnecessarily complicated…

It starts off slow but gets interesting about 20 minutes in…

Old-fashioned before it had finished. It felt like horror drama from midway between Roald Dahl's 'Tales of the Unexpected' and Black Mirror…

This skeptic goes through the ringer trying to disprove 3 different ghost stories. Decent weaving of tales, and some twists you don't expect…

Old-fashioned before it had finished. It felt like horror drama from midway between Roald Dahl's 'Tales of the Unexpected' and Black Mirror…

A real surprise. [Full Review in Spanish]…

A few fleeting moments of well-directed tension in the first yarn about a nightwatchman can't make-up for the copy-cat contrivances of the…
