Santa Isn't Real

Ol’ Kris Kringle wants everyone to have a Scary Little Christmas in Santa Isn’t Real. Bloody Disgusting can exclusively reveal the trailer for the upcoming holiday horror film, which offers a psychological twist to the killer Santa concept.

The holiday horror movie will be spreading holiday fear when it arrives on VOD and Digital on December 8 from XYZ films, with a limited theatrical release in Los Angeles.

In the film, “After suffering a brutal attack on Christmas eve, a young woman, Nikki, struggles to convince her friends that the assailant was none other than Ol’ Kris Kringle. When Santa returns to terrorize the group in their remote cabin the next Christmas, Nikki and her friends must overcome disbelief as they fight to stay alive.”

The trailer below decks the halls with murder and cheer, and teases a psychological component when Nikki finds herself trying to convince everyone that Santa is indeed real.

The film was written and directed by Zac Locke, who’s no stranger to horror having previously produced horror films that include 2019’s Black Christmas, The Wind, and Frogman. Locke previously wrote and directed supernatural slasher #Float.

Scarlett Sperduto, Dana Millican, Kaya Coleman star in Santa Isn’t Real.

With the arrival of Santa Isn’t Real just around the corner, it’s clear that it’s going to be a very bloody and busy season ahead for holiday horror.

Hollywood Is a Killer; Here’s the Official Poster for ‘MaXXXine’

Published

on

The third installment in Ti West’s trilogy, A24 will be releasing X and Pearl follow-up MaXXXine in theaters July 5, and the official poster has arrived from A24 this morning.

With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in mid-80s Hollywood in the upcoming MaXXXine. Check out the brand new poster art below.

Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito, Sophia Thatcher, and Kevin Bacon.

Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”

Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.

Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
