Pre-Order Red Christmas Now at These Locations

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 them...

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

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."
