‘Christmas Evil’ Getting Limited Theatrical Re-release This Holiday Season

Published

on

John Waters once called director Lewis Jackson’s Christmas Evilthe greatest Christmas movie ever made,” which was all the convincing I needed to check it out several years back. The film has since become an annual holiday staple in my household, and you can count me among the few who have had the pleasure of seeing it on the big screen.

Never have? Hungry to? Well, this holiday season is your chance!

As reported by Rue Morgue this week, Christmas Evil will be getting a limited theatrical re-release here in the tail end of 2017, playing in select theaters across the country throughout November and December. The screenings begin November 23 in Atlanta, Georgia, wrapping up December 23 in San Francisco, California.

In Christmas Evil, “A toy factory worker, mentally scarred as a child upon learning Santa Claus is not real, suffers a nervous breakdown after being belittled at work, and embarks on a Yuletide killing spree.”

Matilda Firth Joins the Cast of Director Leigh Whannell’s ‘Wolf Man’ Movie

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
