I will post Christmas-themed horror films over the next 24 days of LosMas; for the ninth night, I am posting the 2023 slasher Santa Isn't Real.
Santa Isn't Real (2023)
A young woman named Nikki is attacked by someone who looks like Saint Nick on Christmas Eve. A year later, she wakes from a coma and is surrounded by her friends, who suggest a holiday get-together at a remote cabin. What seems like an excellent opportunity to bond as friends turns into a fight for survival when they see Nikki attacked and kidnapped by a figure dressed as Santa. Santa Isn't Real is a holiday slasher directed by Zac Locke and starring Kaya Coleman, Scarlett Sperduto, Trey Anderson, and Cissy Ly. Unlike many holiday horror movies, Santa Isn't Real appears to have been filmed during winter months, with the snowy setting and remote cabin giving the viewer a feeling of winter chills. The rest of the film does not offer much as the small cast is shown looking for their friend and encountering the Santa-clad killer. The cast is easily the best part of this movie, as the Christmas setup seems irrelevant given the predictable slasher plot of this low-budget holiday horror movie.
