Horror’s beauty lives inside every one of you!
What do Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Halloween, Christmas and New Years have in common? Uniquely celebrated, it all boils down to uplifting one’s mind, body, and soul.
HOLIDAYS is an anthology feature that puts a sinister spin on some of the most iconic and beloved holidays of all time. Collaborated by some of Hollywood’s heavyweight directors, chills and thrills run up spines as the feature takes everyone’s morals and/or ideals and maliciously flips them.
Individually dark, creepy and twisted, HOLIDAYS’ cinematic eight-pack of shorts surely pokes a morbid stick upon those special days. The outcome? Well, as a whole, they come off in two ways: 1. Rejected scripts from studios that found life via the festival / VOD circuit and 2. The extra step taken inspired by a compilation of fake trailers courtesy of GRINDHOUSE (’07). Some having more horrid potential than others (Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Father’s Day – my personal favorites), as a whole, those with blackened hearts and minds will find enjoyment within the eight-pack in some way, shape, or form. I surely did! Providing just about every single form of mind-fuck horror can provide, HOLIDAYS is one that deserves your twisted, celebratory soulful attention.
