24 Days of HorrorXmas- All the Creatures Were Stirring (2018)

I will be posting Christmas themed horror films over the next 24 days, for the eighteenth night I am listing the 2018 horror anthology All the Creatures Were Stirring (2018).

All the Creatures Were Stirring (2018)

Dir- Rebekah and David McKendry

A young couple (Graham Skipper and Ashley Clements) on an awkward first date on Christmas Eve meet up at a small theater where they watch a series of horror-themed skits performed by actors that are shown to the audience in this holiday-themed horror anthology. The segments include a deadly office party, a stranded holiday shopper facing a curse, a single bitter man who hates his neighbors, a man who has a hit an run with a wild creature and finally a surprise holiday party that is out of this world. As an anthology, the movie features stories that are in the tradition of Tales From the Crypt and The Twilight Zone. The couple's story is fleshed out between segments as they find the audience leaving and are left with lecherous coots and indifferent staff along with the mystery of who her friend keeps getting calls from through the night. All The Creatures Were Stirring has an excellent cast that includes indie film favorites Jocelin Donahue, Amanda Fuller, Stephanie Drake, Megan Duffy, Brea Grant, Constance Wu, and Jonathon Kite. Not all of the segments are equal but the audience should enjoy the collection of creepy and bizarre tales to make this anthology a great addition to the holiday horror films of recent years.
