Black Christmas is the new short film from director Jack Laurance at London production company, Armoury.
A dark and distinctly alternative take on the festive season, the film is a disturbing gangland tale that turns all your favourite Christmas clichés on their heads.
Dripping with menace, it features a far from saintly expectant young mother, a bloodthirsty reindeer and a plot with more twists than a candy cane.
It’s the ultimate antidote to Christmas ad overkill and a gift for anyone with an appreciation for gallows humour. Watch out for a whole host of ingenious and sinister clues referencing well-loved Yuletide traditions…
Pouring brandy on your Christmas pudding will never be the same again.
