    Film Review: SANTA (2019) (Short Film)

    Peter 'Witchfinder' HopkinsBy Peter 'Witchfinder' Hopkins31st December 2019No Comments1 Min Read

    SANTA **** USA 2019 Dir: Alexander Henderson. 7 mins

    An effectively creepy short from the talented director of MOMO and TOUCHED BY A DEMON. A pre-pubescent kid (Dylan Kento Curtis) prays to God for forgiveness on Christmas Eve before apparently bearing witness to a malevolent Santa (James Salsman) invading the house. His parents (Adam Cabrera, Alli George) fail to offer reassurance and his terror of the jolly gift-bearing fat man might just be nightmarish visions born of Mom’s unnecessarily sinister use of the old “He knows when you’re awake…” sleep incentive. Curtis is a likeable juvenile protagonist in this atmospheric, horrific reinterpretation of the lyrics from “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town”. Cabrera and George are splendidly ominous as the fearmongering parents.
