Merry Kitschmas

About This Movie

Merry Kitschmas is an odd little piece that brings a different kind of drama to the holiday genre. It’s set on the cusp of the Millennium, and there’s this palpable tension as a young couple prepares to host Santa Claus for dinner. The atmosphere feels both festive and strangely unsettling, like a holiday party gone awry. The pacing is deliberately slow, which adds to the underlying suspense — you’re always wondering what the couple's true intentions are. The performances, while not from heavyweights, carry a certain charm and add to the film’s unique vibe. The practical effects are minimal, but they work well with the story’s offbeat take on Christmas. It's distinct in how it merges holiday cheer with a hint of dark mystery.
