Red Christmas Reviews!

“It has earned its place among the best and can sit comfortably on a shelf with Black Christmas , Gremlins , Die Hard – yes it’s a Christmas film! – and Silent Night, Deadly Night as great examples of alternative Christmas cheers. Red Christmas is striking, bold and brilliant; a sure-fire Christmas classic for horror lovers.” – Jessy Williams, Scream Magazine “An energetic, candy-colored romp through genre tropes that manages to take its subject matter seriously while poking fun at itself at the same time.” – Variety “Nothing is sacred to Anderson and setting murderous mayhem on the eponymous holiday is only the beginning of Red Christmas ‘ challenge to propriety and good taste.” – Michael Gingold, Rue Morgue “For horror fans, the practical gore, unapologetic kills and the throwback to the old school and exploitative horror will make viewers cheer even though they know that the family does not deserve to suffer the sins of one person. Impactful, powerful and brutal, even if

Pre-Order Red Christmas Now at These Locations

Image
Craig Anderson's RED CHRISTMAS is now available for pre-order at the following locations: Red Christmas available on Blu-ray/DVD/VOD, October 17th, 2017 Red Christmas is sure to grow a cult following in the years to come. Australian Director, Craig Anderson, fearlessly tackles the very taboo topic of abortion in this controversial family drama turned 80’s slasher film.   Dee Wallace (E.T., Cujo, The Howling) gives an award-winning performance as a mother struggling with her past when it knocks on the door on Christmas.  Equally impressive is real life Down Syndrome actor, Gerard O’Dwyer, who plays Dee’s son and finding out how his disability possibly even plays heavy into the weight of the story.  Of course, the focal point is ‘Cletus’ the mysterious black cloaked stranger who comes across as The Elephant Man meets The Ghost of Christmas Past.  This holiday visitor turns life and social views upside down but despite it’s dramatic theme, it never takes itself too seriou

A Nightmare Before "Red" Christmas

It's October 1st.   Halloween season is upon us and that means plenty of horror movies to be seen and plenty of nightmare to be had.   Don't forget, Craig Anderson's controversial film, Red Christmas, is sitting Blu-ray/DVD/VOD on October 17th!  However, Artsploitation Films will have a very cool announcement for horror fans next week.    On Monday, October 9th the details will be posted on Artsploitation.com as well as here on our official blog.   Here's a hint.   It has to do with Red Christmas.

"Red Christmas is one of the most beautifully lit and photographed horror films since Dario Argento's Suspiria" - Film Journal

Image
Film Journal Review of Red Christmas  "Wallace's performance is genuinely memorable—in a genre where middle-aged women rarely get more than a few minutes' screen time before being summarily dispatched, she not only stays the course but shows why it pays to invest in experience...though it's worth noting that Wallace, the mom in  E.T.  and  Cujo  and one of the film's producers, stepped up and invested herself." "Red Christmas  is one of the most beautifully lit and photographed horror films since Dario Argento's  Suspiria —the stylized pink and blue lighting (nicely justified by the holiday decor) is a dead giveaway to Argento's influence—and it's clear that veteran filmmaker Anderson's stalk-and-slash picture is—pardon the pun—a cut above average."

Unseen Films Reviews Red Christmas

Image
Unseen Films provide curtain call preview of Red Christmas before it's premiere at Kew Gardens Festival of Cinema  Unseen Films - "Certain to become a favorite film on anti-abortion rights groups everywhere RED CHRISTMAS  is an uncomfortable mix of horror and comedy. The plot of the film has an anti abortionist blowing up a clinic. In the wreckage he finds a still alive fetus in a bucket and takes it home to raise it. 20 years later the child returns to his family on Christmas day and mayhem results. Uncomfortable in the extreme, partly because of the subject matter and partly because the film is disturbing, this is a little slice of hell. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing."

Red Christmas dominated for Best Makeup & FX at Kew Gardens Festival of Cinema

Kew Gardens Festival of Cinema - Award for Best Makeup & FX Nomination: Red Christmas  Awarded by Jury to the best Makeup & FX across all films in competition. Kew Gardens Festival of Cinema Red Christmas plays on Friday night, August 11th, 2017 at 9pm EST  Red Christmas is a great gift to the horror genre. It's in the tradition of classics like, Silent Night, Deadly Night and Christmas Evil. If you didn't know any better, you would think you picked up a VHS copy off the shelf of your local video store's horror section in 1980 something. It has that type of feel, a throwback to the glory days of hand made gore. The kill scenes are great and gruesome, and let's not forget creative. It's an essential piece of horror pop- culture worth watching over and over again. It's not Santa doing the slicing and dicing in this holiday slasher flick, but instead Cletus, an aborted baby all grown up and ready to get his revenge on Christmas Eve! Wow, th

When a mysterious, deformed young man named Cletus appears at their door, things soon change from petty insults to bloody, imaginatively orchestrated violence as Wallace attempts to protect her family from the vengeful intruder. The film deliriously infuses comedy, dark family secrets with outlandish gore and adds the always controversial subject of abortion in its blood-stained mix http://www.kewgardensfestivalofcinema.com/ Kew Gardens Cinemas 81-05 Lefferts Boulevard Kew Gardens, NY 11415 United States  Movie info (718) 441-9835 Built in the 1930's this neighborhood house called the Austin has had more faces then Eve.
