    A Christmas Horror Story (2015)

    It’s Christmas Eve, and five interwoven stories reveal the dark side of Christmas.

    A Viking-looking Santa who is about to face something evil, a radio host who wants to lift your spirits, a student film crew that investigates a violent ritual school crime, a family who just wants a Christmas tree, and an anti-Christmas spirit that is released and chasing wicked people.

    Very promising and original opening sequence that will most definitely get your undivided attention. Every story unfolding is a treat, and despite their flaws, they are still dark, eerie, and enjoyable for, admittedly, mostly millennial horror fans, but not exclusively. Surely not for the whole family; each and every one of them twists the meaning of Christmas and explores the darkness within us on days that our light is meant to shine. The ending is a real twist that, unfortunately, is no fantasy, and our world has seen similar in numerous variations. To avoid spoilers, I cannot elaborate further and, personally, I feel like I shouldn’t do it anyway.

    The stories unfold in the fictional town of Bailey Downs, the same town where the Ginger Snaps franchise takes place and, partially, Orphan Black (2013-2017). The filmmakers behind both projects collaborated on this one.
