Silent Night

Christmas is usually a light-hearted occasion where every film has a joyous quality to it. However, if that’s not really your cup of tea, we have got you covered this Holiday season. Who remembers the film Krampus? That sure did give a chilling effect to Christmas and it looks like the awaiting release known as Silent Night will be giving us the same daunting effect.

This film follows a regular family; Nell, Simon, and their son Art as they welcome family and friends for a perfect Christmas gathering. There is only one catch…everyone is going to die. We don’t know about you but we are intrigued to watch this (through our fingers) just to see what happens. A dark Christmas Film comedy-horror is sure to leave us all on the edge of our seats.
