A Film about a dark, blood sacrifice- Merry Christmas to me!
This is The Sacrifice Game, a 2023 Horror Film brought to me by Shudder. I had more plans for Christmas than I can manage- basically a free/cheap way to cover the 2019 Black Christmas Remake- this Year.
As such, I'll settle for this Film- the Horror Version of The Holdovers.
* 1970's Setting- check.
* Student(s) and Teacher left at a School- check.
* Lots of death- okay, just this one.
This one is recent, so minimal SPOILERS ahoy!
They are very ritualistic and there's clearly something more going on.
Bad news- they are headed towards a School.
There's worse news, of course.
A trio of people are left there for Christmas.
A young lady abandoned by her Stepdad due to a business, a strange girl stuck there for no clear reason and a Teacher to watch them.
Things go badly for everyone involved.
Cop on the way- dead.
Boyfriend- not doing well.
Boyfriend- not doing well.
Oh, and they're here to summon something evil...
What happens when things don't quite go their way?
Well, there's a good 30 minutes left in the Film for worse things still to happen.
To find out, stream this festive fright now.
A fun, freaky Christmas Film for all of you out there who don't want to watch A Christmas Story all day.
This one is more of a freaky Film than a scary Film.
It features some brutal stuff, so don't go expecting psychological torture or any of this boring (in this single instance) stuff.
The Film pulls no punches in nearly every Scene that involves something bad happening to a human body. It has an extra edge because- for the most part- you are seeing people that feel real having very bad things happening to them.
In other words, it is more A Nightmare on Elm Street than A Nightmare on Elm Street 6 (which is still fun TBF).
The Plot takes some nice twists and turns. You'll probably figure some of them out before the Characters do.
Even so, I liked the whole thing for being a bit subversive and interesting.
Now to tell a friend- they love my recommendations!
A Film that is more than what you think. It doesn't reinvent the wheel either- so just enjoy it!
