Santa Lives! ‘Santastein’ Coming to SCREAMBOX This Christmas! [Trailer]
Santa Lives!
Here comes Santa Claus has never been such a sinister warning…
Following its triumphant premiere at this year’s Popcorn Frights Film Festival, the horror-comedy Santastein is ready to wreak havoc on a whole new audience when Santa is resurrected on SCREAMBOX this coming December.
“The perfect comfort-watching stocking stuffer,” as Josh at the Movies describes it, the film follows a young man who brings a serial killer Santa Claus back to life.
“Santastein tells the story of two friends (Max & Paige) with a rather peculiar hobby, they like to bring things back from the dead. With their first successful rodent resurrection, they set their sights on something bigger, following in the footsteps of Frankenstein himself. When they decide to bring back the body of a man dressed like Santa Claus, Max feels it is his chance to right the wrongs of his past; having accidentally killed Father Christmas when he was six. What they don’t realize is that instead of a jolly gift giver, they unleash a bloodthirsty monster. When Santa attacks their friend’s Christmas party, it’s up to them to take the holiday icon down.”
Written and directed by Manuel Camilion & Benjamin Edelman, the film was produced by Fernanda Lamuño, Leonardo Pereira, Vasisth Sukul & Natalie Veater and will be released as a SCREAMBOX Exclusive in December, just in time for the holidays!
Sometimes a film comes along and all you can say is ‘that is exactly what I needed.’ Santastein is the kind of playful and ridiculous film that makes holiday horror such a unique genre. You’re going to walk away thinking, damn that was fun!
Check out the trailer below…
The star of Parker Finn’s horror hit Smile, Sosie Bacon is the daughter of Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, and it sounds like the three are joining forces for an upcoming project.
Variety notes in a profile piece on Sedgwick that she’s currently developing a horror film for her company Big Swing that she plans to star in alongside Kevin Bacon and Sosie Bacon!
Additionally, Variety notes that Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon are planning to co-direct the untitled horror movie project. Oddly enough, however, that may be easier said than done.
“It’s very hard to get dual directing credit,” Sedgwick explains to the outlet. “If you promise the DGA that you will only direct together for the rest of your lives, then they’re more inclined to do it. But if not, they won’t. “We’ll figure it out. But I’m very strategic. I wonder if more people will see this if it’s a Kevin Bacon film than a Kyra Sedgwick film?”
Stay tuned for more on this one as we learn it.
Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are of course no strangers to the horror genre, with Bacon starring in classics Friday the 13th and Tremors. Sedgwick starred in The Possession (2012).
