Promising something far more creative than it inevitably can deliver, Mr. Crocket is a frustrating watch. Even with a solid story from director Brandon Espy and Carl Reid, and a strong villainous portrayal of the titular character by Elvis Nolasco.
Written by Christopher Jolley and directed Jack E. Bell, there’s a serviceable attempt to make Granny Krampus a more meaningful film. One with layers of horror, one with tension, and one with the occasional fright. Sometimes it works, plenty of times it doesn’t, resulting in an overall middling film that takes itself just a bit too seriously.
Advent is a brilliant film. One of the creepiest and darkest Christmas horror films ever made. However, it’s so good that it can easily be enjoyed at any time of the year. A must watch.
From director Alice Maio Mackay, who co-wrote the story with Benjamin Pahl Robinson, comes a trans-positive and queer-friendly holiday horror that stars Jeremy Moineau, as Lola, trans woman heading home for Christmas.
A round of applause for Steve Rudzinski, who has delivered his best film to date and a festive horror comedy that will be on the watchlist every year from now. Yes, Curtains for Christmas is that good.
Not content with having tortured us with the 2015 cult horror movie Llamageddon, one of the creators, Howie Dewin, is back with the alpaca-themed horror movie, Alpacalypse. Which also happens to be a Christmas movie too.
Written and directed by Jamaal Burden, Elf in the Hood stars Michele Chavez, Sabina Gavrilov, Taylor Latham, Kerry Walker, and Tiffanie Williams.
From director, Shane Wallace, who co-wrote the story with Key Tawn Toothman, A Very Flattened Christmas is a comedy horror that promises a fun injection of blood and guts into the holiday.
