This Christmas-themed horror-comedy, directed by Dakota Millett and Michael Fischer - who also stars in the film - brings a devilishly delightful dose of holiday cheer that is sure to entertain.

What started as a fake trailer, quickly becoming a fan favourite, has now blossomed into a full short film & after screening at and winning multiple film festivals, it’s finally your turn to experience the holiday horror!

The film follows a group of siblings who reunite for the holidays after the sudden death of their parents. However, a terrible misunderstanding leads them to accidentally kill Santa, setting off a thrilling fight for survival against a fleet of bloodthirsty killer reindeer, which results in spooky fun for the viewers at home.

This wonderful short film boasts a near-perfect blend of both hilarious & scary moments, which are showcased in the well-timed writing of both directors alongside Laura Herring, which are paired wonderfully with the special effects & puppetry work that are peppered throughout.

All in all, if you're a horror-comedy fan, this is, without a doubt, one film you need to add to your must-watch Christmas list & keep an eye out for this title in the future as it is is excitingly, currently in the early stages of being developed into a feature film.

I thoroughly enjoyed this little surprise gem of a film and am giving it a 9/10.
