Although, early reviews have actually cited the sociopolitical commentary and bleak tone as the best parts of the story. Written and directed by Camille Griffin, the indie film looks more dark comedy than horror. It just so happens there’s a deadly force making its way across the planet at the same time, destroying everything alive in its wake. Releases December 3 worldwide in theatres, and on AMC+.Ī British Christmas horror-comedy starring Keira Knightley, Annabelle Wallis, and Matthew Goode, Silent Night follows a group of friends and their families reuniting for the holidays. Horror fans can decide for themselves if the dark atmosphere fits with the melodramatic premise if they have an active Shudder subscription this December. Reviews have been mostly positive, citing the movie’s creature effects, slasher elements, and Faustian themes as its best qualities. Instead, writer and director Patrick Ridremont ( Dead Man Talking) opted to tell a darker story. This could have been yet another entry in the holiday B-Movie subcategory, which could have been an enjoyable, campy watch. Eva must decide whether to get rid of the sinister calendar, or follow the gruesome rules to potentially gain movement in her legs back.
She soon realizes each door has a real-life surprise attached to it, some good, some deadly. Set in France, Eva (Eugénie Derouand), an ex-dancer now in a wheelchair, receives an ornate, wooden advent calendar equipped with precise instructions. Campy Christmas-horror The Advent Calendar is not.
