A Year in Film 2020: Advent Calendar – Day Nineteen

It’s day nineteen of my Christmas film advent calendar. Tonight’s film is:

Krampus

Christine’s rating: ✩✩✩✩✩ David’s rating: ✩✩✩✩

Krampus

Frustrated by the constant quarrel between the members of his dysfunctional family, Max loses interest to celebrate Christmas, awakening Krampus, a demon who will punish his entire family.

My favourite Christmas film has to make a show in this Advent calendar. Krampus has just the right amount of sarcasm and scares to make this a true horror tale for Christmas.

What is your favourite Christmas movie?

Arthur Christmas

Christine’s rating: ✩✩ David’s rating: ✩✩

When Santa’s gawky son Arthur learns that owing to a technical glitch a little girl’s Christmas gift has been misplaced, he sets out on a mission to deliver the present before it is too late.

A Year in Film 2020: Advent Calendar – Day Seven

It’s day seven of my Christmas film advent calendar, and tonight I’m watching:

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms

Christine’s rating: ✩✩✩ David’s rating: ✩

On Christmas Eve, Clara realises that before dying, her mother left her with an inheritance to a magical world of fairies and toy soldiers that are alive. She holds the key to the fate of this world.

I enjoyed the music of Tchaikovsky in this modern reimagining of his ballet, the Nutcracker.

Have you seen this movie? If so, were you like David and thought it was poor?

Thanks for reading!
