"7/10 Red One is pure entertainment. It knows what it is, leans into it, and doesn't try to be anything else. Movies like this are a rarity these days-a fun, self-aware story that's well-executed without taking itself too seriously. Think The Toxic Avenger or other classics that knew they were dumb fun and embraced it. That's Red One, and it absolutely works. What sets this movie apart is its solid storytelling. There are no plot holes that leave you scratching your head or logical inconsistencies that pull you out of the experience. Everything in Red One fits together in a way..."

Along with Santa Claus and Krampus, Gryla is an actual myth associated with winter, possibly the oldest one. Of Icelandic origin, Gryla was an ogre with 13 sons, the Yule Lads. Gryla would tour the world on winter nights, asking for charity for her sons. Legend has it that, if she was denied charity, her sons would enter the dwelling and cause mischief until the owner begged Gryla to retrieve them. The idea of shape-shifting abilities and handing out punishment are later additions to the myth, borrowed from the Wild Hunt, another Nordic legend in which a pack of ghost hunters (Odin's entourage) would often give worthless gifts to kind strangers, like a bag of coal or a manure. If accepted this worthless gift would turn into gold the next day.
