We haven’t been paying much attention to the upcoming film Silent Night here on Arrow in the Head because it was being described as a “Christmas comedy” and a “darkly comedic drama”, and those types of movies aren’t our specialty. But now the latest press release has described it as “darkly comedic drama/horror”. So okay, Silent Night. You have our attention. Let’s see how it goes. Starring Keira Knightley, this darkly comedic drama/horror movie is set to reach theatres and the AMC+ streaming service on December 3rd.
The feature debut of writer/director Camille Griffin, Silent Night has the following synopsis:
In true British fashion, (while the rest of the world faces impending doom), a group of old friends reunite to celebrate Christmas in the comfort of an idyllic country home. Burdened with the inconvenience of mankind’s imminent destruction, they adopt a stiff upper lip, crack open another bottle of prosecco and continue with their festivities. But no amount of stoicism can replace the courage needed for their last night on earth.
Knightley, who may be best known for her role in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, is joined in the cast by Matthew Goode (Downton Abbey), Roman Griffin Davis (Jojo Rabbit), Annabelle Wallis (Malignant), Lily Rose-Depp (Yoga Hosers), Ṣọpé Dìrísù (Gangs of London), Kirby Howell-Baptiste (The Good Place), Lucy Punch (Into the Woods), Rufus Jones (Flack), and Trudie Styler (Pose).
Knightley previously faced the apocalypse in the 2012 film Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.
A trailer for Silent Night isn’t available yet, but we hear one will be online sometime soon. I’m looking forward to seeing that and hopefully being able to deduce just how much of a horror movie this is.
While we wait, a couple images from the film can be seen below:
