If, when it comes to
the festive season,
13
DEC
you’re more ‘Bah
Humbug!’ then ‘Fa-la-la-la-la’,
then make sure you check
out this Christmas-set horror
offering where yuletide cheer
is definitely in short supply.
An update of the 1974 cult
classic of the same name,
which starred Margot ‘Lois
Lane’ Kidder as Barb, it sees
a group of female college
students ferociously fighting
back when a masked stranger
begins picking them off
during their winter break.
The original film (there was
a 2006 remake too, but the less
said about that one the better)
deftly mixed tension and
violence – it’s pretty hardcore
in places – with an intelligent
plot that not only kept you
guessing but had characters
doing sensible things (like
calling the police rather than
exploring the attic alone).
This Blumhouse production
does the same, while also
adding several intriguing sub-
plots. (What’s Cary Elwes’ deal
we wonder?) It all adds up to
anything but a silent night! The first Boy movie,
released in 2016, was
6
DEC
an absolute cracker,
filled with twists, turns and
a terrific central performance
from The Walking Dead’s
Lauren Cohan as Greta, a
nanny tasked with taking care
of a life-like porcelain doll
named Brahms. Brahms is
back this December, and
with Greta having wisely
fled the premises, he’s training
his dead doll eyes on a new
victim: Katie Holmes’
impressionable young son.
Be afraid, be very afraid!
