The Advent Calendar2021
“Will you live until Christmas this year?”
Directed by Patrick Ridremont
The premise
Eva, an ex-dancer, is now living in a wheelchair, unable to walk. When her friend Sophie 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 good, but most of them bad... Now Eva will have to choose between getting rid of the calendar or walking again… even if it causes death around her.
Horror Vault's take
A French horror film that transforms the beloved Christmas tradition of the advent calendar into something deeply sinister. Eva, a former dancer left paralysed after an accident, receives an ornate antique calendar whose daily reveals appear to bend reality itself — with each gift exacting a terrible price from those around her. As the days count down toward Christmas, Eva is forced to confront an agonising moral dilemma: how much suffering can she justify in pursuit of what she has lost? Equal parts dark fairy tale and psychological pressure cooker, the film builds its dread slowly and deliberately.
