Fresh ‘Red Christmas’ Trailer Brings “A Comically Dark New Vision of Horror”
A brand new trailer for the upcoming dark horror/comedy Red Christmas has been released and can be seen below.
The first trailer created a strong sense of unease by utilizing only music and purposefully leaving out all dialogue. This time, the trailer is packed to the brim with quippy dialogue and has a far more lighthearted approach, embracing the comedic aspect that I didn’t realize this movie even had!
A troubled matriarch must defend her family when a mysterious stranger turns up at her secluded country mansion on Christmas day. A day of celebration becomes a night of terror, as the stranger reveals a secret from the family’s past, and threatens to destroy their future.
Directed by Craig Anderson, the movie stars Dee Wallace as well as Geoff Morrell, Sarah Bishop, and Janis McGavin.
The film having its International Premiere at Montreal’s Fantasia International Film Festival on July 23rd, with writer/director Craig Anderson and star Dee Wallace in attendance.
Chris Columbus (Gremlins – writer, Home Alone – director) is headed back into the director’s chair for Thursday Murder Club, Amblin’s upcoming feature film adaptation of the same-titled novel written by Richard Osman. Variety first reported the news this morning.
It’s not a horror movie, mind you, but rather a star-studded murder-mystery. Think Rian Johnson’s Knives Out… only this particular murder-mystery is set in a retirement community!
Variety details, “The book, released in 2020, tells the story of four septuagenarian friends who live in a retirement community and solve cold cases for fun. When a shady property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime.”
Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley are “being eyed” to lead the cast!
Richard Osman’s 2020 novel was such a hit that it launched a franchise. Follow-up The Man Who Died Twice followed in 2021, with The Bullet That Missed coming along in 2022. And then there was The Last Devil to Die in 2023, with a fifth book in the series expected in 2025.
