Christmas with the family can sometimes feel like a balls-to-the-wall fight for survival, but this is next level.
Game Theory Films has unleashed a trailer for the holiday horror film, Unholy Night, bringing Evil Dead-style terror to the holidays this December.
In the film, Gino’s traditional family Christmas Eve turns into a bloody battle for survival when his long-dead grandma drops by and goes on a murderous rampage. Amid the chaos, Gino reunites with his ex, and the dysfunctional duo must avoid his dead Italian relatives popping up all around the neighbourhood as they search for a way to get rid of these Yuletide revenants and survive his family Christmas.

The trailer has a quirky horror vibe that doesn’t seem to be taking itself seriously at all. It has all the silliness and over-the-top bloodshed of an Evil Dead movie, making me think this could be a gift to horror fans this holiday season.
Marc Bendavid(Dark Matter,Reacher) andShailene Garnett(Fire Country,Diggstown) star, with supporting performances fromAl Sapienza(The Sopranos,House of Cards),Ron Lea(The Recruit,Orphan Black),Ton Ellwand(Mafia Inc.),Cristina Rosato(Mother!,Assassin’s Creed),Jaqueline Robbins(The Monkey) andJoe Pingue(Station Eleven,Star Trek: Section 31).
