Christmas horror stories don’t come more jampacked than “Deathcember”. Like “Into The Dark” did with their 12 Holiday-themed movies, this anthology series is led by Pollyanna MacIntosh. A collection of 24 short films that take a look at the dark side of the festive season. 28 international directors with the most diverse ideas and styles; linked by short animated segments that deal with the Advent calendar itself.
Ratings for short film anthologies fared low after the release with IMBd.com showing a 4.5/10. Complaints from audiences varied from those thinking the series of short films was “too weird” and that some of the stories were hard to follow. Others cited the Christmas anthology series was worth a one-time watch but that being drunk or on drugs would help enjoy the movie.
On the upside, some reviews for Deathcember praised the film’s realistic setting but that some films in the series like “The Godfather” were so good they deserved to be seen over and over.
Mother of Movies thinks if you’re looking for some new holiday-themed Christmas horror, 24 short films on the topic should hit a few home runs. The anthology horror movie is streaming for free on lots of platforms in the USA. Watch these short and highly fueled tension Christmas horror shorts on TubiTv and Peacock or subscription sites like AppleTV.
