Last December, I shared a trailer for director Stuart W. Bedford's killer Santa movie GOOD TIDINGS, a trailer which came with the promise that the movie would be released just in time to ruin Christmas 2016. As the Christmas season quickly approaches, it has been confirmed that the filmmakers are sticking to that promise – they have secured a distribution deal with XLrator Media, who will be releasing GOOD TIDINGS on VOD and iTunes on December 6th.
Written by Bedford, Stu Jopia, and Giovanni Gentile, the film will be joining the ranks of killer Santa movies like SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT and its remake SILENT NIGHT by telling this story:
A homeless war veteran with a checkered past who must rely on a side of himself once thought buried when he and his companions are targeted on Christmas Day by three vicious psychopaths in Santa suits.
Alan Mulhall, Clair Crossland, Julia Walsh, Colin Murtagh, Johnny Hirst, and Jopia star.
Along with the release announcement comes a new trailer, which you can check out below. Judging by the imagery here, it really looks like GOOD TIDINGS could be a great new addition to the list of Christmas horrors.
