I will be posting Christmas-themed horror films over the next 24 days of LosMas; for the fifteenth night, I am posting the 2016 horror short The Grot in the Grotto.
The Grot in the Grotto (2016)
If you ever wondered where they find all those mall and department store Santa’s, the short film The Grot in the Grotto offers up one story. This pseudo documentary shows the process to recruit, train and utilize the least likely candidates to fulfill the job of making kids believe in Santa. While the man interviewed talks about where great opportunity it is the true horror emerges when you witness the steps taken to make the candidates truly authentic. The Grot in the Grotto is a 2016 Christmas themed horror short directed by James William Roberts. While not the first to show a fictionalized account on where Santa’s come from, The Grot in the Grotto comes off as a mashup of A Clockwork Orange and Rare Exorts. While the story comes across like a local news piece the delivery is pure black comedy that will have its viewers wondering if it’s ok to laugh or just cringe in shock. The Grot in the Grotto is part of the Alter series of short horror themed holiday movies and is streaming on Yourtube.
