Get ready for a holiday experience like no other, as Advent, the latest festive horror from director Airell Anthony Hayles, is set to make your Christmas countdown more terrifying than merry. Following its much-anticipated World Premiere at Pigeon Shrine FrightFest Halloween, Advent will be available on digital platforms from 25 November, courtesy of Miracle Media.
Advent is not your typical holiday tale. With a dark twist inspired by the disturbing true events surrounding the infamous Blue Whale Challenge—a viral social media “game” that coerced participants into completing increasingly dangerous tasks—this film adds a supernatural edge to an already sinister premise. Hayles takes the idea of a deadly game and wraps it around the festive tradition of the advent calendar, transforming it into a harrowing thriller.
The film stars a strong cast, including Mark Arnold (Blade Runner 2049), Nicholas Vince, Cory Peterson (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them), Rasina Pavlova,...

You’d think Christmas horror films up until now had covered it all. Where can you go after all the killer Santas, snowmen and elves? Well, not too long ago, Krampus was the new thing for genre filmmakers to make a holiday film about and there’s been a few decent movies on that subject – none better than the 2015 film. Last year we got a couple of great new Christmas-themed horror movies with Violent Night seeing David Harbour as Santa saving Christmas and a family and the even more original but brilliantly violent Christmas Bloody Christmas, which featured a killer robotic Santa on the loose. 2023 doesn’t seem to be the year where Christmas horror runs out of ideas because now we are getting Werewolf Santa.
