'The Advent Calendar': Shudder Announces Holiday Horror Streaming This December

Shudder, AMC Networks’ streamer for horror, thrillers and the supernatural will bring viewers a new holiday horror The Advent Calendar. The film is from writer/director Patrick Ridremont and is said to be an “ornate and elegant French horror fantasy.” Ridremont‘s new film will stream exclusively on Shudder Thursday, December 9th.

The Advent Calendar world premiered earlier this year at London’s Frightfest and was produced by Alain Benguigui, Virginie Ogouz, Jean-Yves Roubin, and Cassandre Warnauts. The movie combines Faustian themes and allusions with European folklore and tense, chilling terror, the Shudder Original film provides some highly original holiday season horror.

Eva (Eugénie Derouand, Paris Police 1900), an ex-dancer, is now using a wheelchair, unable to walk. When her friend Sophie (Honorine Magnier, Tomorrow is Ours) gives her an old wooden antique advent calendar before Christmas, she realizes each window contains a surprise that triggers repercussions in real life. Some of them are good, but most of them are bad, really bad. Now Eva will have to choose between getting rid of the calendar or walking again – even if it causes death and destruction to everyone she holds dear around her.
