Get ready for some bloody Christmas cheer with the newly released trailer for 'SANTASTEIN'. This Santa slasher film recently made waves at the Popcorn Frightfest and Soho Horror Film Festival, where it was an official selection.
'SANTASTEIN' tells the chilling story of Max, a young boy who, at the age of six, accidentally burned Santa to a crisp on Christmas Eve. Now, 12 years later, Max tries to right his wrongs by bringing Santa back to life. However, his plan goes horribly awry when the resurrected Santa turns into a bloodthirsty monster, targeting the town’s Christmas party for a night of terror.
The trailer promises a mix of dark humor, intense slasher action, and plenty of festive carnage. Fans of Christmas horror are in for a treat as 'SANTASTEIN' blends the charm of Christmas with the gore of a classic slasher film.
International sales, excluding the US, are being handled by Black Mandala, a New Zealand-based distributor known for its focus on genre films. Meanwhile, US audiences can look forward to the film's release through Cineverse Entertainment in 2024.
