Over at Fangoria.com, they are debuting director Drew Daywalt's short film "Ny Name is Kris Kringle." The film stars R. A. Mihailoff (Texas Chainsaw Massacre III), Bradley James, Donnie Jeffcoat and Azure Parsons (Heart of the Sun). In this five minute movie, Ol' Saint Nick shows that kids need to be a lot more nice to receive gifts, or just to stay alive.
The film begins in a suitable Christmas fashion, as sleigh bells jingle and the music is happy. However, soon Kris Kringle steps out of a well decorated house with a cleaver in one hand and a kid's head in the other! This is not the usual Santa that most are used. Kringle is soon taken down to the police station for interviews and accusations. Santa uses some of his magical powers to escape his bonds, while leaving behind a "Naughty Book." Apparently not all of the world's kids are well behaved, as the punchline tells us.
This film is comedic in fashion and the horror, or gore in the film is meant as entertainment and not to shock. The performances are all well rehearsed and this short film feels like a comedian's gag. Unfortunately, the show is over before you can say: "Father Christmas!"
Take a break from crowded malls and traffic jams to watch this short film, from the master of terror himself, Drew Daywalt. The film is enjoyable as long as dismembered plastic heads to not scare you. Check it out at the link below.
