A year after being executed for his crimes, a murderer's widow casts a spell that reincarnates him into a Christmas tree, kickstarting a quest for revenge against the girl who put him away. En route he offs a bunch of other stock horror movie characters and talks shit while doing so. If this sounds like some sort of spiritual successor to 1997's underrated "Jack Frost", I regret to inform you that "The Killing Tree" is from the same minds behind "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey". Thus, the humour isn't even at Michael Cooney's level, while the filmmakers fall into the trap of prioritizing CGI effects that range from barely passable to laughably shit over the more charmingly cheap practical methods that actually enhanced "Jack Frost". I did laugh a bunch of times in the first half of the movie, but it lost me long before a lame ending with "fuck it, why not?" energy. No nudity, either! Anyway, I've already seen too many movies from the production company behind "The Killing Tree" to have any right to warn you away from it, but might I suggest "Treevenge" instead?
