Christmas dinner turns bloody in this ferociously brilliant, gore-soaked horror comedy from the creators of JASON GOES TO HELL and TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D.
The second film to be released under the FrightFest Presents label, (the first being THE DARK –News Here) the new venture from leading independent
distributor Signature Entertainment and leading genre festival FrightFest, SECRET SANTA debuted at this year’s prestigious FrightFest Glasgow, and is the perfect stocking stuffer for horror fans suffering Halloween withdrawals
and in need of a fix of gore and giggles.
Packed with wickedly dark humour, and outrageous gore effects, this is a fast-paced, relentless Christmas slay ride, written and directed by Adam Marcus, whose debut film was the fan favourite Friday The 13th entry Jason Goes To Hell, and co-scripted by Debra Sullivan, who wrote 2013 horror hit Texas Chainsaw 3D.
SECRET SANTA takes a fraught family gathering and turns it into a gleefully demented bloodbath as the spiked punch takes hold, hideous home truths are revealed, and the special occasion cutlery is used to slice flesh, not turkey.
If you enjoyed recent festive horror treats Krampus and Better Watch Out, just wait until you unwrap this jet black comedy shocker, a festive blowout with all the bloody trimmings. If you hate Christmas get-togethers, you’ll adore SECRET SANTA.
“The very naughty but oh-so nice gory gift that just keeps on giving. Yule love it!” Alan Jones, Horror Channel FrightFest
Synopsis:
A Christmas Eve gathering takes an unexpected turn after a family guest spikes the punch with a military grade version of truth serum sodium pentothal. The already dysfunctional group comes unstuck in a blizzard of drug induced, painfully candid outbursts, and upset soon turns to carnage after the head of the family runs amok with a fork, triggering festering loathings and savage reprisals.
SECRET SANTA is released on DVD 5th November and Digital HD 3rd December, courtesy of FrightFest Presents.
