Santa Lives!
Here comes Santa Claus has never been such a sinister warning…
Following its triumphant premiere at this year’s Popcorn Frights Film Festival, the horror-comedy Santastein is ready to wreak havoc on a whole new audience with Santa being resurrected on SCREAMBOX tomorrow, just in time for Christmas!
“The perfect comfort-watching stocking stuffer,” as Josh at the Movies describes it, the film follows a young man who brings a serial killer Santa Claus back to life.
“Santastein tells the story of two friends (Max & Paige) with a rather peculiar hobby, they like to bring things back from the dead. With their first successful rodent resurrection, they set their sights on something bigger, following in the footsteps of Frankenstein himself. When they decide to bring back the body of a man dressed like Santa Claus, Max feels it is his chance to right the wrongs of his past; having accidentally killed Father Christmas when he was six. What they don’t realize is that instead of a jolly gift giver, they unleash a bloodthirsty monster. When Santa attacks their friend’s Christmas party, it’s up to them to take the holiday icon down.”
Written and directed by Manuel Camilion & Benjamin Edelman, the film was produced by Fernanda Lamuño, Leonardo Pereira, Vasisth Sukul & Natalie Veater and will be released as a SCREAMBOX Exclusive in December, just in time for the holidays!
Sometimes a film comes along and all you can say is ‘that is exactly what I needed.’ Santastein is the kind of playful and ridiculous film that makes holiday horror such a unique genre. You’re going to walk away thinking, damn that was fun!
