Back once again on our festive film binge watching, not a fan of the overly sickly sweet ones that channel 5 churn out, so trying to watch more unusual ones.

Set in idyllic Angel Falls. A year after saving her town from a psychotic killer on Christmas Eve, Winnie Carruthers’ life is less than wonderful – but when she wishes she’d never been born, she finds herself in a nightmare parallel universe and discovers that without her, things could be much, much worse. Now the killer is back, and she must team up with the town misfit to identify the killer and get back to her own reality. Well that was different, I loved it, best storyline and so unique too. Mixing up my love of horror and yuletide. Epic.

An American family fulfills their dream of moving back after inheriting a remote cabin in the mountains of Norway. I love Norway and their folklore, so this was the perfect creepy folklore and Christmas blend. Silly and graphic in places. Wish it dived more into Scandi folklore, but at least they tried.

An elite team of mercenaries breaks into a family compound on Christmas Eve, taking everyone hostage inside. However, they aren’t prepared for a surprise combatant: Santa Claus is on the grounds, and he’s about to show why this Nick is no saint. I personally Love this film, it is quite graphic and gruesome. Love the concept of it. I think they said they are doing a sequel and I’m here for that!

After seeing his parents murdered in front of him a young boy spends most of his life in an orphanage where he is abused by the mother superior. When he becomes a teenager, he gets a job as a toy store Santa. When seeing two people having sex in the store brings on flashbacks of his parents, his turmoil leads him to become a Santa serial killer. Cringey but so 80s so not bad really.

A murdering sociopath escapes prison and returns to his childhood home. However, he finds out that his house has been converted into a sorority house and begins killing the students living there. There is a few remakes, watching a few versions to compare them.
