24 Days of LosMas- Midnight Clear (2017)

I will be posting Christmas-themed horror films over the next 24 days of LosMas; for the fourteenth night, I am posting the 2017 horror short Midnight Clear.

Midnight Clear (2017)

The holiday season can be pretty stressful for many out there despite the festive decorations and joy-filled songs. In 2017's Midnight Clear, an agitated father forces his wife and children to celebrate Christmas earlier than usual. As the father sternly reminds the wife about tradition, the tears in her eyes and apparent trepidation show that all is not so merry on this silent night. Midnight Clear is a 2017 short movie directed by Joe Russo, who also co-wrote the story with John Jesensky. The convincing look of fear in the eyes of the mother portrayed by Jessica Morris steers the short in a direction that convinces the audience that this story is one of domestic violence. Still, as the movie plays out, the true intention of the story will be to reveal the brilliance of this horror short film. Midnight Clear was released as part of the Alter collection of short holiday horror films.  

24 Days of LosMas- Foxwood (2017)

I will be posting Christmas-themed horror films over the next 24 days of LosMas; for the seventh night, I am posting the 2017 horror short Foxwood.

Foxwood (2017)

Blind dates are always an awkward experience, especially during the holidays when emotional sentiments compound them. In the 2017 holiday horror short movie Foxwood, a young man meets a woman he has been conversing with, and everything seems to work out as she takes him to her home for what proves to be a night to remember. Little does he realize that he may be getting more than he expected from this holiday hookup. Foxwood is a 2017 holiday horror short directed by Trevor Dillon and Ian Hock. The movie stars Kalen Marie George, Laura Peake, and director Hock as the hapless blind date. With so many horror shorts, it is essential to get to the plot points, and with little time to introduce characters, the challenge comes setting up for a quick and deadly outcome. What helps Foxwood is the excellent chemistry with the couple and the male lead's reaction when the night's events don't turn out how you would expect. To reveal more would spoil the story, and it is best to go in the cold as the conclusion is unexpected and full of twists.
