‘Carnage For Christmas’ Trailer: Alice Maio Mackay’s New Film Brings Horror Home For The Holidays

Carnage For Christmas

Believe it or not, Alice Maio Mackay has released her fifth feature film. Her new queer holiday horror Carnage for Christmas is her take on the Christmas horror subgenre, packing it to the gills with gore, camp, and plenty of blood.

In the film,

It’s Christmas, so come with us on a blood-soaked sleigh ride to the conservative hometown of trans true-crime podcaster, Lola. Worried about the town’s reaction to her transition, Lola is ready to take on anyone this holiday season! However, she didn’t expect that person to be a Santa masked killer, paying grisly homage to the town’s own haunted legend, The Toymaker. Now Lola—who has her own connection to the original Toymaker murders—must put an end to these gruesome murders.

Featuring a talented cast that includes Jeremy Moineau, Dominque Booth, Zarif, Olivia Deeble, Joe Romeo, and Betsey Brown, Carnage For Christmas has been taking the festival circuit by storm, recently wowing audiences at Fantasia Film Festival, FrightFest, and more. This also marks Mackay’s first collaboration with Vera Drew (The People’s Joker), who edited the film and did its visual effects.

Carnage For Christmas is out now on digital and VOD from Dark Star Pictures.
