The Advent Calendar
Eva, an ex-dancer, is now living in a wheelchair, unable to walk. When her friend Sophie 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 good, but most of them bad... Now Eva will have to choose between getting rid of the calendar or walking again… even if it causes death around her. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →Scary Christmas Movie Advent Calender: Day 3 The Advent Calendar (2021, directed by Patrick Ridremont) The movie has problems (including a pretty ableist view of life in a wheelchair) but fair due, it does have a scary looking advent calendar.

unlabelledView post →I think I have a Christmas Day watch for myself... It's not a Christmas movie, it won't count towards the Advent Calendar, but 25 years ago, Christmas Day 1999, I taped this gem from TV. I still have the VHS tape and some fond memories from the day. 31 year old me is very sentimental towards this.

unlabelledView post →ICYMI: Last episode dropped on Christmas Eve! Kept it seasonally appropriate & dug into 2021’s French horror film - THE ADVENT CALENDAR. This film has everything (we love to hate): Disabled character tropes Animals in peril A demon waking you up every night at midnight during the month of December?

unlabelledView post →Our intro is an actual introduction to our primary character and her daily routine. We rather suddenly have an ominous gift, and images that are hard to describe of something?. Some disgusting behavior from an unworthy individual, and some truly beautiful spooky shenanigans. Things are happening that are quite unexplainable, but her gift seems to be at the center of all the weirdness and still delicious moments of the film. If you could, would you, should you, or do you dare wish the good and…

unlabelledView post →Day 19 of 31 Days of Christmas was The Advent Calendar (2022). It is the least weird French horror movie I've ever seen. It was so good I didn't mind the "Lady or the Tiger" ending.
unlabelledView post →So The Advent Calendar, despite having no holiday decorations in the movie, is a holiday movie. But The Sacrifice Game, which features a Christmas tree and takes place over Christmas break, amazingly is not a holiday movie. #Movies #ChristmasMovies #HolidayMovies #Films
