The festive season is far from upon us, but it's never too early to get into the spirit, especially as a new trailer for holiday horror-comedy Christmas at the Kringles just dropped.
Directed by Willy’s Wonderland‘s Kevin Lewis, from a script by Zack Imbrogno, Christmas at the Kringles stars Ron Livingston, Rachel Bilson, Rob Riggle, Arden Myrin, Beverly D’Angelo, David Wain, Thomas Lennon, and Donald Faison.
The film follows the Seversons, a family starting fresh in a quiet suburban neighborhood, whose next-door neighbors, the Kringles, celebrate Christmas year-round:
What begins as charming quickly turns unsettling, as Mark and Julie grow concerned about their son’s growing attachment to the family. After a heated confrontation, Mark heads next door to bring his family home only to uncover the Kringles’ true intentions: to hypnotize and indoctrinate them. What follows is a life-or-death rescue mission, as Mark teams up with a rogue, badass Santa in a high-stakes, action-packed fight to save his family.
Get further acquainted with the Kringles below:
“[I’d been] looking to do another zany and bonkers genre film in the vein of Willy’s Wonderland and I found it in Zack Imbrogno’s unique and original screenplay,” said Lewis when the film was originally acquired by Briarcliff in May. “I feel so fortunate to be surrounded by such a talented cast and crew to bring this crazy train of a movie to life.”
Christmas at the Kringles hits theaters on the distinctly Halloween season date of October 30, but who's stopping you from sneaking some candy canes in with your popcorn so you can double fist the festivities.
