”Badass!
Loved it!” –Harry Knowles, Ain’t It Cool News
"A
blackly comic tale of Christmas carnage…the ending is epic”-

Gober, Twitch Film Twitch.
CHRISTMAS: a time of Joy, Peace and Goodwill. Unless you happen to
live in the town of Bailey Downs. Here, on Christmas Eve, joy is
corrupted when a malevolent spirit traps three teens in a school basement
intent on recreating a twisted version of the Nativity story.Peace is
shattered when a family returns from a snowy forest with the perfect Christmas
tree only to find something is terrifyingly wrong with their 7-year old
son. And goodwill is perverted when
a not-so-nice family is hunted down by Krampus, the demonic anti-Santa Claus of
Nordic mythology. Even Santa Claus himself is drawn into the horror when he has
to fight off a horde of howling Zombie Elves before making his rounds.
This Christmas, the creatures are stirring and they’re coming for you whether
you were naughty or nice.
