25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE: Santa Isn’t Real (2023)

Directed and written by Zac Locke, this starts with Nikki (Kaya Coleman) almost falling asleep when Santa comes down the chimney and nearly murders her. She’s in a coma for almost a year and all of her friends believe that she’s actually tried to kill herself. Now, as the seasons come close to the holidays, everything upsets her, every image of Santa, every carol, every day of Christmas.

Nikki has some horrible friends, a bad boyfriend in Nathan (Trey Anderson) and a worry that when she was drinking and taking sleeping pills that someone was trying to kill her that is close to her. This doesn’t stop her from going to a cabin with Jess (Scarlett Sperduto) and MJ (Cissy Ly), a place that Santa finds quite easily.

Nothing unexpected happens. Of course her boyfriend is having sex with one of her friends. Certainly, the kills start happening. But I wanted to like this because the premise was so good, giving so much to it and not really getting much back. It’s not the worst holiday horror I’ve seen but that speaks more to how bad these movies can be.

  1. Since you like holiday horror films, and Ouija movies, you have to do Ouija (2014), it features a Ouija board and a Christmas theme. The character becomes possessed after using a Ouija board and hangs herself with Christmas lights in her home.
