What is it about Christmas and horror that blends so well? It is a strange mixture that, while not always perfect, often yields entertaining results. Now, outside of Halloween and summer camps, Christmas may be the best pairing with everyone’s favorite film genre. Just look at some of the classics we have already, there is the family friendly horror of
Gremlins, the antics of
Silent Night Deadly Night, the somewhat sad
Christmas Evil, and even the recent iteration of the
Krampus tale. That doesn’t even get to international offerings like
Rare Exports and
Sint. Now we have an offering from Australia,
Red Christmas. Does it have what it takes to join the pantheon of classic Christmas horror hybrids? Perhaps.
