The first act was pretty decent I didn't see the twists coming at all. Very Christmas-y. A concept that's already been done a few times but I like it here. The first few kills looked so fake. Frustrating decision making. Second act has a lot of sequences with the killer and a decent amount of kills but it lost some heat. The story doesn't stay interesting and it needed way more comedy. Some characters completely disappear from the movie like Justin Long and especially Cassandra Naud, where did she go?! So we're left with the bad actors for the remaining time. Third act was terribly stupid... it's like they had no idea how to end it. What a let down!

A crazy mess, _It’s a Wonderful Knife_ is nonsensical garbage. After getting a college rejection letter and discovering that her boyfriend is cheating on her, Winnie Carruthers wishes that she was never born and finds herself in world where her town is being terrorized by a serial killer that she had killed the year before. Jane Widdop gives a fairly good performance as the lead, but the rest of the cast is pretty bad. And the plot is convoluted as all get-out; making less and less sense as it goes on. But worst of all, the killer isn’t at all scary and has no sense of menace, and the kill scenes are rather lame and perfunctory. _It’s a Wonderful Knife_ has an interesting premise, but it doesn’t know what to do with it.

Of the "old-premise-turned-slasher" movies, It's A Wonderful Knife falls short in comparison to its peers; I had a much better time with Totally Killer, Happy Death Day and Freaky. It really struggles out the gate as it desperately tries to be likable and edgy with a scrappy undertone of punchy humour, but it all kinda falls flat. It takes until the final third for the charming relationship between Winnie and Bernie to finally get brought to the forefront, but by then it's too little, too late. The epitome of mediocre, background viewing at best.

If Hallmark made slasher movies.

I seriously wanted the main character to die. That last 15 minutes were painfully bad besides that it's fine for a Christmas slasher.
