New Release presents Episode #1 of our first annual KILLER CHRISTMAS miniseries … all month long we’re wrecking your halls with HOWWLS and OWWWies. This week, naughty little helpers Ashley, Derrick, and Drew go abroad to ring in Christmas in Paris. Joyeux Noël, witches. A year before the release of Home Alone —aka ‘Mommy I Missed the Plane’—something called Dial Code Santa Claus (among other names) premiered at the Laon Film Festival. Whether John Hughes was aware of this home invasion movie featuring a resourceful kid setting traps to defend his turf on Christmas Eve—or not—remains a mystery. What we do know is that the sense of threat and violence in the R-rated Deadly Games is for real compared to Home Alone’s family-friendly hijinks. If you like beaucoup peril with your holiday fare, this movie should get you in the Killer Christmas spirit. Remember, you can get on our good list by searching ‘New Release’ on Spotify or Apple to subscribe. Happy bloody holidays, and to all a RED night.
