‘Red Snow’ Unleashes Holiday Horror Just in Time for Christmas

Leaving cookies and milk for Santa Claus takes a deadly turn in the new Finnish horror comedy Red Snow. The story follows Johanna, an isolated sixteen-year-old emo kid who desperately dreams of meeting her very own Twilight-style prince. However, her romantic fantasy shatters when she encounters Martti, a balding, beer-bellied forty-nine-year-old vampire posing in a Santa suit. When Johanna foolishly invites him inside on Christmas Eve, she inadvertently serves her entire family up for a festive, blood-soaked slaughter.

The movie also features Hannu-Pekka Björkman as the terrifying vampire Santa, alongside Anni Iikkanen as the naive emo teenager. Shudder Snags the Festive

AI Turns into Terror in the First Look at ‘ANSWR’
