Verdict on Werewolf Santa
Werewolf Santa is a horror comedy following a YouTuber and her family tracking a werewolf through Hastings. They must put aside their domestic differences to travel through the holiday resort. It includes tracking a host of dead bodies left by an infected Father Christmas.
This is a horror comedy that gets to play into a mixture of YouTube monster hunters and a small community creature feature. There is plenty of British humour being used throughout the movie. Along with the gore effects being used. This uses Christmas horror to give us plenty of entertainment throughout the movie. It ends up being an entertaining wacky addition to the werewolf comedy movies.
Where to Watch: Werewolf Santa is available on DVD and Digital Now
Final Thoughts – Werewolf Santa is an entertaining and wacky horror comedy.
