In August, I reported that Shudder had acquired French horror fantasy, “The Advent Calendar,” ahead of its ahead FrightFest premiere in London. Just in time for the holidays, Shudder has announced that the film will premiere on the streaming service on December 2.
Written and directed by Patrick Ridremont, Eva (Eugénie Derouand, “Paris Police 1900”), an ex-dancer, is now living in a wheelchair, unable to walk. When her friend Sophie (Honorine Magnier, “Tomorrow is Ours”) 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 are good, but most of them are bad, really bad. Now Eva will have to choose between getting rid of the calendar or walking again – even if it causes death and destruction to everyone she holds dear around her.
Check out the trailer for the film below:
