Creepy, dark, silly and wild. This package is full of deranged humour and bone-chilling scares. Best viewed with friends and with the lights off.
When a bruised and battered man claiming to be Santa Claus is arrested for the murder of a child, the interrogating officers uncover a story more bizarre and horrific than expected. They expose a violent Christmas rivalry between the forces of good and evil, where the outcome hinges on a promise made decades ago.
Award-winning duo, Sam Chou and Ellery VanDooyeweert, team up again for another animated thriller, this time delving into the turbulent origins of old Father Christmas himself.
IN THE HEAT will be screened as a part of the SHORTS: I CAN'T GO TO SLEEP package.
