‘Red Christmas’ Finally Lands a Distribution Deal!

If you’ve been itching to see Red Christmas, you can now comfortably scratch that itch while you wait for the August theatrical run, or you can hold out until the Blu-ray lands in October.

This is a solid seasonal feature, so we strongly recommend you keep a little space in your seasonal lineup, as this may be one of the must-see-during-Christmas efforts!

Artsploitation Films has acquired US rights from international sales agent Devilworks for the Australian horror film Red Christmas directed by veteran television director/producer Craig Anderson. The dark,violent and sickly twisted tale had its World Premiere at the Sydney Film Festival, its North American Premiere at Fantasia Festival and its European Premiere at London’s Frightfest.

The film stars (and was co-produced by) horror film acting legend, Dee Wallace (The Hills Have Eyes, The Howling, E.T., Cujo, Critters, Halloween,The Lords of Salem) as the mother of a squabbling family, gathered together in a remote Outback estate on Christmas Eve. When a mysterious, deformed young man named Cletus appears at their door, things soon go 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.

The US premiere of the film and the initial festival run will be announced in the coming weeks while the limited theatrical run is scheduled for August and DVD/Blu-ray and VOD scheduled for October.

Synopsis:

A mother must protect her family on Christmas Day from a demented stranger who is hell-bent on tearing them apart.
