Stirring All Through the House, Indeed: Violent Christmas Trailers!
To keep with our theme of adding violent adjustment to otherwise benign and peaceful holidays (Shanksgiving?!), I present some trailers to Christmas-themed films which would otherwise be action or horror films. As many have noted (of the slasher genre in particular), holiday occasions can be used to punctuate the ritual of an otherwise familiar set of interpersonal relations. The compulsion of the holiday is to make the magical, unlikely or otherwise impossible into a reality!
Stay tuned for more Magfest announcements, including a full schedule of our events and guest appearances.
