I will be posting Christmas-themed horror films over the next 24 days of LosMas; for the third night, I am posting Nutcracker Massacre.
After catching her partner cheating on her, a young woman takes an early holiday trip to visit her aunt and purchases a handcrafted nutcracker for her. While there, she and others are creeped out by the lifesized wooden nutcracker that becomes possessed and seeks revenge on those who cross it. Nutcracker Massacre looks good, and the cast is decent, but the film can't decide if the villain is supposed to move or kill out of frame. For a movie with Massacre in the name, it is surprisingly lacking in the level of gore you would expect to see in a holiday slasher. Despite this, Nutcracker Massacre features an original take on a classical Christmas decoration and one of the season's best-looking posters.
