Shudder Shares New Clip From ‘The Advent Calander’ Ahead Of Its Release

Ahead of its December release, Shudder has unveiled a new clip, titled “Captured,” from writer/director Patrick Ridremont’s French horror-fantasy The Advent Calendar, revealing a terrifying monster. In the film, Eva (Eugénie Derouand, Paris Police 1900), an ex-dancer, is now using a wheelchair, unable to walk.

Some of them are good, but most of them are bad, really bad. Now Eva will have to choose between getting rid of the calendar or walking again – even if it causes death and destruction to everyone she holds dear around her.

Premiering exclusively on Shudder on Tuesday, December 2nd, The Advent Calander combines Faustian themes
