Ho, ho, ho! Welcome to a wonderful little list of all of the Christmas films that you should be watching instead of the Hallmark ones. Something to remind us that Christmas, for some people, can really be the worst time of year. So, here are far too many Christmas Horrors that you should watch this festive period.
The Advent Calendar (2021)
Former dancer Eva has tragically started using a wheelchair, with the prognosis that she will never walk again; she is expectantly feeling rough. When her friend Sophie gifts her an antique wooden advent calendar, Eva soon finds that by opening a door, she must get to day 24 or else she will die. But each door has real-life, bloody repercussions for those around her.
A fresh take on the old idea of ”be careful what you wish for” that still hits all the right notes, this French horror shows that taking an idea and giving it a good shake allows for something unexpectantly unique. The Advent Calendar isn’t afraid to integrate the old tropes with some fresh concepts and, as such, allows the audience to stay on their toes just long enough. Also, let’s be honest: if any of us had been given that advent calendar, we would have opened the first door, too, even if it’s actually a take on the dybbuk box. We have a creepy, compelling and entertaining horror to get us going on our list.
All Through the House (2015)
Fifteen years after a young girl went missing in a quiet neighbourhood, a deranged masked killer dressed as Santa is picking off young people one by one. Armed with garden shears, he intends to leave no one alive to open their presents on Christmas morning!
Ever want to see an evil Santa chop off multiple penises with garden shears? Well, friend, I have the film for you! No penis is safe in this film, not one! We have a trashy little horror with a good amount of gore and deaths to tide you over until the next castration. This isn’t a film that you will revisit often, but it’s a bag of (enter your own joke here) levels of fun. Who doesn’t love a daft slasher?
Anna and the Apocalypse (2017)
Little Haven is a lovely sleepy town, and with the Christmas festivities well underway, all is bright and full of light. Except a zombie apocalypse has bustled its way through the town, leaving Anna and her friends to fight their way to their loved ones and eventual safety.
Want to see a mashup of all mashups? How about a zombie horror comedy that is also a musical? That’s right; director John McPhail did not come to play and just give us a little comedy horror; he went all the way and thanked goodness he did, as Anna and the Apocalypse is as delightful as a zombie movie can possibly get. We have endless horror gags that, even if you are not a fan of musicals, you would be well and truly seated to watch. Zombies and bowling alleys, I will let your mind go bonkers with that tease. The only negative is that we never got multiple films from this idea.
Better Watch Out (2016)
Ashley is just your typical teenager, tasked with the usual babysitting duties someone her age gets; she sets out for a normal night with 12-year-old Luke. As the night progresses, strange occurrences begin to happen when a stranger with a shotgun appears, all bets are off as Ashley does what she can to protect her charge.
You have to watch this as spoiler-free as possible, and as such, this will reveal nothing of the story as it’s a great one that actually keeps you guessing about where it is going next. Olivia DeJonge is great here, and we need to see more of her in Horrors as she continues to nail her performances after being terrific in The Visit. Better Watch Out surprises with how it takes the home invasion trope and makes it its own. A film that almost nails it in becoming an unforgettable horror, why it doesn’t, will be revealed after you watch it!
Black Christmas (1974)
Sorority house Pi Kappa Sigma is preparing for the festive season, and the majority are going to venture off to do some skiing while Clare is just going to head home for the holidays and spend it with her family. When one of the group goes missing the next morning, the group of girls begin to think the creep who has been calling them has had far more sinister intentions…
Without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best slashers ever made, Black Christmas, should have been on your list before you even knew you were looking for a list like this. Perfect from top to bottom, what makes the film work even 50 years after its release is that it gave us something that Halloween couldn’t: multiple characters we cared about. We care about every girl in that house; they are all given a purpose, and it’s amazing how well and effective a horror can be when we are given time with our characters to care about them, so when some start getting murdered, you are devastated.
The simplest sell I can give you is to tell you that Black Christmas is the perfect horror film and not many since have been able to touch it.
Black Christmas (2006)
A sorority house is winding down for Christmas when they start getting creepy prank calls from some weirdo. Not taking it seriously, they start to notice their sisters are missing, and the blizzard traps them with whoever makes those calls.
The interesting and mostly only originally interesting thing about this remake is that it gives us more of a background about what our stalker Billy was jabbering on about in the original 1974 version in his calls about Agness. It was always up in the air what it all meant, but goodness, it is just another tick in the box for how great that original was that those calls could conjure a back story like this and give this remake some purpose.
Now, this isn’t a shot-for-shot remake and takes its own journey, and for the most part, it is a fun, dark, and sleazy watch. It doesn’t touch the original, but next to nothing ever could. Yet, this keeps the original concept and makes the film its own, and it works quite well, in fact! It’s a typical 2000s remake in that it’s alright, but people will deride them for being a remake of a 70s or 80s classic. Unbeknownst to us all, we didn’t know what utter trash was coming with the Blumhouse remakes. Give this one a shot; it might very well surprise you.
Blood Beat (1983)
Sarah has decided to tag along with her boyfriend, Ted, and visit his family over Christmas in rural Wisconsin. When out on a hunting trip with the family, she finds a man sliced to bits just as a presence, clad in samurai warrior armour, begins to attack nearby houses, making a beeline for where Sarah and Ted are staying.
I mean, what? What did I just type? What did you just read? Yet there it is the synopsis for another manic journey in Wisconsin horror. Blood Beat is an odd-as-hell supernatural slasher that also ensures some sort of witchcraft in there. The kitchen sink was thrown at this bizarre film, and you can only appreciate the madness of it all. None of this film makes a lick of goddamn sense, and it’s all the better for being as insane as it is. A wild ride that is good fun for a late-night watch.
Calvaire (2004)
Marc is just a guy trying to make it home to his family before Christmas, so he is understandably annoyed when his van breaks down in the middle of the woods in a town he does not know. What’s worse is that the people of that town do not seem to be all there in the head and that only spells trouble for our travelling performer.
It is absolute nightmare fuel; not much else can describe this Belgian movie. As grim as a tale can get, this sadistic film from Fabrice De Welz is as horrific as it comes. Everything feels off in this film, and it appears as if it was purposely done; even the character of Marc starts off as pathetic and a bit off-kilter with how we would expect our hero or tormented character to be. At times, it feels like it is trying too hard to disturb you (that calf scene is quite the watch), but it’s the unhinged nature of it all that keeps you engrossed; Calvaire is as linked to the French extreme horror wave as any non-French film can be.
The Children (2008)
Parents are beginning to relax and get into the festive spirit as Christmas comes along again for another year. What better way to take a holiday? But what happens when not only your children but everyone’s children begin to turn on you and force you to fight for your own survival?
Kids eh? Creepy buggers. This one is an unsettling British horror, and if we know anything in life, it is never to trust English children; they can potentially be quite evil with their creepy little accents. You just know next to none of these adults are getting out alive, honestly? We are all in on them, as some of these folks are the worst. Throw in a moody teenager for the craic, and we have a decent horror flick that knows exactly how to utilise blood on snow.
Christmas Bloody Christmas (2022)
It’s Christmas Eve, and all is well, except for those creepy as-hell robot Santas that the nearby toy store has. Tori just wants to party, but wouldn’t you know it? Those robotic Santas have gone haywire and are now killing anything moving before them. Instead of partying, she’s just trying to survive!
Chopping Mall 2: The animatronics are out to get you! Enough said, it really is just a modern Chopping Mall; only these lads get to go outside to carry out their carnage. As you can imagine, the seriousness is out the window, and director Joe Begos just wants his audience to have a blast of a time. One word to describe Christmas Bloody Christmas is excessive; as an introduction to the director and what he loves to toss our way, this is as great as it gets. Anyone who writes a character to say they like the horror sequels that one does here knows exactly their target audience.
Christmas Evil (1980)
When we learn that Santa Claus may not be the person leaving us our presents, it can be a bit upsetting. For Harry, it was traumatic, so traumatic in fact that he is still mentally scarred from the experience and after a nervous breakdown in the toy factory where he works, he decides that maybe Santa needs to return, and instead of giving those bad people coal, he will deliver death.
Instead of turning the way of Michael Jackson after he saw his mum kiss Santa, weirdo Harry gets all traumatised and decides years later to murder as many “naughty” people as possible. Taking the “killer is just mentally unwell and is only at this point because he was pushed to it” is always a difficult premise to do work, and it still really doesn’t do with Christmas Evil. It’s just that step up from being too angry to really work that way, so when we feel for Harry, we are very conflicted. Still, then we remember how he murdered people, and those feelings wash away. But none of that matters as the ending is sensational, no notes level perfect. I am not sure, but I can’t believe they went with it.
The Day of the Beast (1995)
A Basque Roman Catholic priest has figured out how to prevent the reincarnation of the Antichrist that is happening in Madrid on Christmas Eve, but first, to be accepted, he needs to commit as many sins as possible to get his plan up and running.
It’s quite an achievement for a film to be as good as The Day of the Beast and be as forgotten as it is. This should be a film that is spoken of far more than it ever is, and it’s a damn shame that that’s not the case. So let this be your push. Go catch this one; it has a decent amount of dark comedy in there to keep you entertained as we watch our eventual trio race to defeat the devil. What more can you ask for at Christmas?
Dead End (2003)
The Harringtons are a family on the edge, verging on dysfunctional. But it’s Christmas Eve, and they are making that same journey to the in-laws that they always make, the same route, the same life. Boring. The patriarch of the family, Frank, decides that he is done with being boring and decides to try the shortcut instead, and it turns out to be the worst decision he could ever have made.
80 minutes of the wildest swings you could imagine in a psychological horror. Dead End goes for broke in so many ways, and almost all of them succeed in a chaotically wonderful manner. God knows what would have been accomplished here if this had more of a budget. Entertaining and uncomfortable as they come, this is the classic 00’s era type of horror that we all know and love. Dead End also has us forget about the G-spot and introduces us to the B-spot, the area next no one can reach while trying to get themselves off sexually, so you know it also has that going for it.
The Dorm That Dripped Blood (1982)
A dormitory building is about to be demolished during the Christmas break, and so as the last remaining college students wait to go home for the break, they discover that a crazed killer is on the prowl and targeting them one by one and won’t stop until everyone has dropped out of college… Permanently.
The great thing about The Dorm That Dripped Blood (or Pranks as it was originally titled) is that the synopsis reveals the barest of details on what is an underrated 80s slasher with some great kills that would have been glorious with a better budget. Death by pressure cooker wasn’t on my list of deaths that I thought I needed to see, yet we have been treated to one here. As an 80s slasher, it is pretty standard, but as we all know, that just means it’s pretty damn good. Some of the acting is too over the top for its own good. It keeps things nice and bleak, and you have to give it credit for that.
Elves (1989)
Ready for this synopsis? Good, because holy Christ on a bike, is this a cracker.
Kirsten isn’t a sensible girl; she is the type to conduct pagan rituals in the woods for the giggles with her mates. One day they accidentally awaken the spirit of a demonic Christmas elf that was involved in a Nazi plot to bring the world superhumans. Together with a mall Santa and an alcoholic ex-cop, she must try and save not only herself but her friends too.
Sorry, what? What fever dreams did the writers have when they thought this up in their heads? I am pretty sure they watched the last act of Gremlins and thought they could make it 10 times more insane. There is nothing that makes sense in these shambles, yet you can’t stop watching! It has no right to keep us watching, yet there we are still there, mouths agape at the insanity before us. Whether that is to the producers who paid for this to happen, I dunno. A film that feels like you got hit over the head with a cartoonishly sized mallet and survived.
Gremlins (1984)
Billy Peltzer is the son of an idiot “inventor” who should be a grown-up and get a proper job to support his family a bit better. Anyway, one day, the dad gets Billy an early Christmas present, a cute little weirdo that every pet under the sun is now called (waves at my own dog). However, for Gizmo to survive happily, Billy and his family need to adhere to the three strict rules placed upon them. Break those, and bad things happen, so can you guess what happens next?
Joe Dante went nuts on this one; he took Chris Columbus’ script and thought, how about I make these monsters fun as hell and have everyone begging for one of these films every couple of years? Gremlins in anyone else’s hands, with any other producer (hi Steven), would not have worked the way it did. It’s a miracle of a film, a beautiful miracle, and one that is happy for us. It is an easy pick if you have kids or family that are not horror fans. Shout out to Mrs Peltzer for shutting those Gremlins down in her kitchen and to Kate for holding down a bar on her own like that on such a busy night. Men would have crumbled.
Inside (2007)
Sarah has had a very mixed bag of a year, she is pregnant with her first child, but four months ago her husband died in a car crash, resulting in the usually chipper Sarah to become rather insular. So, alone on Christmas Eve, she is visited by a mysterious woman who seems to know far too much about her.
Oof, New French Extremity movement, what the hell have you done? Inside is one of those films that feels pretty close to being a one-watch-and-done kinda deal. Brutal, uncomfortable and wholly unforgiving, Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo have made one truly unforgettable horror movie with Inside. Most certainly not a film to suggest to someone who is pregnant (unless they are deeply into graphic horror, Inside is the type of film where you need the longest of sit-downs possible after watching.
The fact that we get two different types of horror films in one is what makes Inside so memorable. The first is a creepy but violent stalker-esque mystery. Then, the third act is a swing-for-the-fences-style cringe-inducing gorefest of horror. It’s amazing.
It’s A Wonderful Knife (2023)
Winnie is a bit of a damn legend; after saving the town from a psychopathic killer, she is still suffering trauma from the events. Understandably so! She makes a foolish wish that she was never born and is taken to a nightmarish parallel universe where that psychopathic killer didn’t get caught, and her world is completely upside down.
A film that tries not to take itself too seriously, It’s a Wonderful Knife (I mean, we could tell the serious meter would be down low by the title alone) is a daft horror comedy that hits the right notes if you let it. It provides enough of a faux Giallo mystery to proceedings to keep you engaged, and the deaths are decent. With a strong cast, (with Justin Long camping it all the way up). It’s light but fun, and sometimes, you need a horror that isn’t going to overly offend the senses. Now, get rid of the CGI blood, and we would have been golden. Very much the Hallmark of Christmas horrors, and sometimes, that ain’tain’t no bad thing!
Jack Frost (1997)
Notorious serial killer Jack Frost has not only been caught, but he has been sentenced and is now on his unmerry way to being executed. However, the vehicle he is stuck in is hit by a truck with a hazardous and mysterious chemical that turns him into a snow-covered mutant. Full of anger, he makes his wall to the town of Snomonton to rampage the residents.
A year before Michael Keaton went on and charmed everyone with his children-friendly Jack Frost, there was this monstrosity of a film. Jack Frost is not a great film, but how can you ignore a film that has that sort of synopsis? You must at least give it the watch that it very much deserves, right? It’s a film about a murderous snowman; this is right up every horror fan’s alley and is just stupid enough to entice even non-horror fans. It’s ridiculous and awful, and as such, it will always have a warm spot in my heart when it comes to Christmas horror.
Krampus (2015)
The Engels decide to have a big family Christmas, so the wife Sarah invites her sister, her family, and her aunt over to spend the holidays at their home. Sarah and Tom’s son, Max, are plagued by his cousins and tear up his letter to Santa and declare that he doesn’t believe in Christmas. Unbeknownst to him, such an action brings forward the creature Krampus, who punishes all non-believers.
A Christmas horror that tip-toes on that tightrope of being okay for the family but just nasty enough to cause a nightmare or two for the younger ones watching. Krampus is a film that delivers and joyously pushes boundaries right to the cliff-like edge. Another Christmas horror that the “”whole”” family can enjoy. Full of practical effects and not afraid to get the kids caught up in the horror. A reminder to never spend the days before Christmas in a house with cousins. What a nightmare.
Last Stop on the Night Train (1975)
Margaret and Lisa are off on an overnight train to Munich from Italy to spend Christmas with Lisa’s parents. Sadly, the pair quickly find out that they should never have gotten on that train as a pair of psychos and a demented nymphomaniac blonde woman are also on the train and only want to torment the duo.
Grim, just damn well grim, is the best way to describe Last Stop on the Night Train or the Night Train Murders, or Late Night Trains. Taking influence from two different stories (which I won’t spoil here as it will let you know where the film is going), this is a brutal experience. The lack of lightness throughout the film is what really strikes you, the is no relief here and instead, pure terror and claustrophobia. As bad as our two male characters, it is the woman who takes the lead of the terror who has you clenching in anger as to how she could allow and do this to other women with such little care. Unsettling from beginning to end.
Night of the Comet (1984)
A comet has come along days before Christmas and wiped out almost all life on Earth; two of the survivors are Valley Girl sisters Sam and Reggie, who find themselves battling zombies in their search for a safe place to live. Scientists underground hear them and come to rescue the duo, but are their intentions as pure as they hope?
If you do not come to Night of the Comet for the performances, then you will have a great time here. I Am Legend meets Clueless is the order of the day, and at times, Night of the Comet has the same tones as both throughout, which is impressive for such a low-budget film. The script is the star of the show with lines like “Daddy would have got us Uzi’s” dotted around for the sheer hell of it. A great apocalypse film for those with a love of wearing a bit of neon.
The Night of the Hunter (1955)
Preacher Harry Powell doesn’t keep to his religious beliefs too well, mostly in part due to his being a serial killer. After a stint in prison where he learns about a family hiding $10,000, he aims to get that money, no matter who pays for it. Using his charm to sway the town and the mother of the family, he endeavours to do everything he can to get that money.
One of the best films ever made and one that takes you to such unexpected places, The Night of the Hunter is a masterpiece, a pure masterpiece in presenting tension and stabbing our hearts with glimpses of horror. From moving to a silent film approach to filmmaking to make the audience more alert to the performances from Robert Mitchum and especially Lillian Gish, it’s an unforgettable viewing experience.
Is it a horror, a thriller, a noir? It’s all of those and more; it’s that special. When we even come to the shot choices that Laughton picks out, you can only help but marvel at how both beautiful and haunting they are. This horror gothic fairytale still causes you to sit upright in fear for those children almost 70 years after its release; Charles Laughton’s one and only film as a director is terrifying perfection.
O’Hellige Jul! (Christmas Cruelty!) (2013)
Three friends are having a grand ole time during the holidays and lapping up all of that good Christmas spirit. In the same town, however, is a brutal murderer who cares little for your age and only seems to want one thing, to satiate his bloodlust, and this trio is next on his list.
This Norwegian slasher seems to have taken the New French Extremity approach to horror and, if anything, is a hell of a predecessor to the Terrifier flicks for its brutality. It is almost certainly one of those films that will only please the gorehound in your life, It is disturbing, it’s cruel, and it is not genuinely one you would recommend, but hey, you came for a list of Christmas horror films, and you are getting that with this one. It’s just a matter of how strong your love for horror is. If you can stick to the opening, then this is the film for you. If not, then make that your exit point. You have been warned.
P2 (2007)
Businesswoman Angela Bridges has been working late once again, and even though it’s Christmas Eve and she has a party to get to, she has to get her work finished. When she tries to leave the building’s car park, she finds herself locked in with no way to get out. Worse still, there is someone in the car park with her who wants to ensure that she never makes it to that party.
A great cat and mouse horror thriller that does its best to keep you on its toes despite spending almost all of its 98 minutes in an underground car park, P2 utilises every single possible part of that space to give us a tense, but fun film. It does not spare a thought for giving us some decent gore-filled moments as well. What helps is that our main leads are on top form, with both giving us believable enough performances in a film that sometimes stretches the believability of the increasingly dangerous situation. The lesson that P2 teaches you? Do not bother working overtime; it’s just not worth it.
Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (2010)
Pietari is a young lad living with his family in the north of Finland, who are reindeer herders. Nearby, an excavation team make a startling discovery: an evil Santa Claus has appeared, and he isn’t happy with being disturbed, making headway for the nearest home, Pietari’s family home!
We go back to Scandinavia, but we go to Finland this time! We are given a Krampus-esque tale here, and it’s as daft as you imagine. What if the real Santa wasn’t the Santa we all know and love, no Mr Jolly Rolly Polly ho ho-er? No, this Santa and his little elves were buried under a mountain for a reason. It’s a great and fresh idea that sets the tone for what you are to expect with this one. There should be three types of Christmas horrors: the ultra-serious, the insanely extreme in its gore, or the utterly daft. Guess which one this is.
Silent Night Bloody Night (1972)
Lawyer John Carter has been charged with selling the home where the owner’s grandfather was burned alive by accident on the grounds. When consulting with the locals about buying the home, an incident brings the grandson Jeffrey to the town to find out more about the mansion, and he finds himself the target of a mysterious killer.
The atmosphere is the order of the day, with Silent Night and Bloody Night; taking the slow approach helps build up the mood and mystery of what is happening on Earth at the Butler mansion. For some films with a convoluted story, such as what we get here, it would weigh the film down; however, somehow, it improves it. It could be the less-than-stellar dialogue and script, but something here strikes you. The kills certainly thrill in this chiller, which is always a plus, and as the suspense and intrigue build, you do find yourself becoming more intrigued. If you are in need of a horror that fills you with as much dread as it does mystery, then look no further!
Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)
After seeing his parents murdered by “Santa”, young Billy is forced to spend his childhood in an orphanage where he is regularly abused. Trying to get by in life as a teenager with a part-time job, he sees things that cause horrible flashbacks to his parent’s deaths, leading him to kill anyone who he thinks he sees as being naughty, all while dressed as Santa.
If you are naughty, you better run, and you better hide as Santa is coming tonight; what should just be a solid festive slasher ends up being something far more as it navigates through the trauma of childhood tragedies and becomes even more interesting. Whether that is purely accidental, I do not know, but what we are left with is something that makes you uncomfortable not only for the gory deaths but also for our villain; he never had a chance, poor, messed up Billy. When the killing starts, though, the gore gets plentiful, and we have quite an entertaining film with a great performance from Robert Brian Wilson.
Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2
Four years after the events of Silent Night, Deadly Night, and our tormented killer, Billy’s younger brother has now reached adulthood, and somehow, those actions of his older brother have triggered him into slaying those who he also thinks are “naughty”.
Ever want to watch a sequel to a film but didn’t want to watch the original? Well, I have the film for you. Welcome to Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2, which, for obvious stupid reasons, uses over 30 minutes of footage from the first film as Ricky tells a Dr why he is so troubled… It sounds stupid, and it is, yet this ridiculously trashy film is a hell of a lot of fun, and you will never utter the phrase “Garbage Day” the same way ever again. The deaths are plentiful, and Eric Freeman is all in, and God bless him for it.
Terrifier 3 (2024)
Survivors Sienna and Jonathan are still struggling to get their lives together after the attacks from the maniac, Art the Clown. All should be well, but like any good villain, he is back. This time, he isn’t alone, and Sienna will have to do a lot more fighting to protect her family.
If you have watched a Terrifier film, then you will know what to expect with a Damien Leone flick. It will be dumb, and it will be extreme. This time Art isn’t just going to be happy killing adults; everyone is game on this one, and damn, if they don’t as you would expect, go there. There is nothing that goes too crazy, as we would hope, but it’s still a good watch. Just do not expect the story to be as focused as it should be, as it is a continuation. Who cares, though? Bring us number 4, lads.
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Jack Skellington is fed up; he is stuck in the same routine of scaring humans every Halloween, and he wants to mix it up a little bit. So which time of year is best to get the best scares? Christmas, of course! The children would never see it coming, and neither would Santa.
A wonderful fairytale animation, the look is unforgettable, the music and songs are unforgettable and so are the characters. Who would have thought Halloween trying to hijack Christmas would be such a good idea for a film? This is the perfect film for families and is a lovely gateway to the genre. What better time of year to do it!
Wind Chill (2007)
Two college students are sharing a ride to make it home for the holidays, but whoops, the car breaks down in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Something seems off with a cop who keeps appearing and acting far too suspiciously for their liking. With nowhere to go, they have to try and survive the continually returning cop.
Who doesn’t love watching a person trapped in a deserted area as a type of horror attacks us? For the most part, this is a surprisingly good supernatural flick that tries to hold onto that atmosphere for as long as possible. Added to this is the effectiveness of the claustrophobic nature of the film. With both our characters not actually being friends, thee guy being sweet to her, and her not being as inclined to like him back, the awkward dynamic keeps adding more to this powder keg of tension. That tension is built up well as the story develops, and you have actual fear for our characters and are unnerved as much as possible for such a tight story.
Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? (1972)
Auntie Roo appears to be a good old egg; she invites multiple orphaned children to her home for a Christmas party, but all is not what it seems, for Rosie (or Roo) is actually demented and begins a crazy Hansel and Gretel tale.
An underrated fairytale that tackles some of the trauma of being raised in an orphanage and lacking trust in adults in any form. Even if that lack of trust actually rings true in some form, it is interesting to see the psyche of a child who has been so affected by their clear trauma. Yet as good as that is, this is all about Shelley Winters as Ruth; she dominates the film as a broken woman who just wanted to raise her daughter but has that experience stolen from her. So, as the film continues, you have to decide whether this is just a case of a woman wanting her daughter back in her life, in whichever form possible, or if Christopher is right, and if she wants to eat them for Christmas. Watch it and decide for yourself.
If you liked this list then, I have an on running Horror A-Z feature that is has just finished the first round of all of the letters and will be updated throughout the 2025 until completion! So check it out!

Thanks for reading; every view helps us out more than you would think (we have fragile egos). Until next time.
Social Media
You can also support us via Twitter and Facebook Instagram and Blue Sky! by giving us a follow and a like. Every single one helps!
