The Night Before Christmas, part of Glass Eye Pix's 2008 Creepy Christmas Online Film Festival, really straddles that line between unsettling and whimsical. It's distinctively crafted around a Christmas diorama aesthetic, which lends this short an almost childlike charm. Yet, beneath that surface, there's a creeping horror that lingers. The pacing is tight, building up that tension with each frame. The practical effects are noteworthy too, with the filmmakers using the props from their assigned advent calendar windows creatively. It takes familiar holiday motifs and twists them into something darker. You can feel the experimentation in the air, which makes it all the more intriguing to watch.
