Hulu’s year-long “Into the Dark”, which tells a new holiday horror tale every single month, continues in December with the Christmas-themed “Pooka”.
In the episode, Nyasha Hatendi plays a struggling actor who gets a holiday season job as a Christmas character in a plush suit to promote the hottest toy of the year, “Pooka.” At first, it’s a fun and friendly distraction, but he slowly develops two personalities–one when he’s in the suit, and one that’s outside it–as Pooka slowly starts to take possession of him.
Bloody Disgusting has the exclusive worldwide trailer debut for the film, directed by V/H/S family member Nacho Vigalondo, who also helmed the incredible Colossal and Timecrimes. The footage looks like a full-blown holiday meltdown that delivers anything but the Christmas spirit.
Is Pooka naughty or nice? Find out on Friday, December 7th.
