Cineverse has officially secured North American VOD and streaming rights to Ralph’s Perfekt Christmas. Tom McLaren stars as Ralph, a likable family man whose extreme Christmas obsession drives his wife away. Desperate to salvage his marriage, Ralph devises a wild plan to kidnap a former child star. But his ill-conceived scheme quickly spirals into dark, unexpected territory.

An Incredible Cast of Genre Favorites

Alongside McLaren, the thriller stars Charlie Schlatter, Jill Schoelen, Casey Burke, and Landon Gimenez. The film also features the big-screen return of Hollywood veteran Lynda Day George. Additional guest appearances include Susan Blakely, Marta Kristen, Nicholle Tom, Trevor Lissauer, Bill Mumy, and Angela Cartwright.

Visionary Creative Leadership Behind the Camera

Former Twentieth Century Fox executive Mary McLaren produced the feature alongside Tom McLaren. Meanwhile, Jeremy Padow and Tom McLaren penned the screenplay from Padow’s original story. Additionally, international distribution will expand to digital and physical formats across the UK and France this December.

The Perfect Gift for Alternate Holiday Film Fans

Cineverse vice president Dan Fisher praised the picture as a smart, distinctive, genre-bending holiday entry. Similarly, producer Mary McLaren highlighted that the film specifically targets fans who consider Die Hard essential holiday viewing. Ultimately, this unconventional story delivers a wild mixture of comedy, drama, thrills, and horror for adult audiences!

“Ralph’s Perfekt Christmas is exactly the kind of smart, distinctive, genre-bending film that resonates with Cineverse and Screambox audiences,” said Dan Fisher, vice president of acquisitions at Cineverse. “The film combines an original story with unexpected twists, turns, and a surprise ending coupled with a standout performance by Tom McLaren as Ralph that makes this film a ‘must watch’ for the holidays.”
