I will be posting Christmas-themed horror films over the next 24 days of LosMas; for the ninth night, I am posting the 2020 SyFy horror-comedy Letters to Satan Claus
Letters to Satan Claus (2020)
Dir- Emma Jean Sutherland
A young girl angry at her folks writes a letter to Santa, yet she misspells his name, and Satan answers the letter. Years later, the young woman must confront the tragic events that followed as she returns to her hometown during the holiday celebration. Letters to Satan Claus is a SyFy movie directed by Emma Jean Sutherland and starring Karen Knox as Holly. The movie is a parody of the syrupy Hallmark and Lifetime holiday movies following the usual tropes found in dozens of Christmas films. Yet, Holly's challenges are demonic as she sees her town fall victim to a series of tragic events that all tie back to the angry letter she wrote. As SyFy movies go, this was a fun attempt at making a holiday movie with a darkly humous twist. If you are a fan of such holiday movies, you will know the formula and will probably guess the ending, but this parody is a surprisingly fun and darkly funny holiday tale.
