Christmas Horror Short Review: Wanna Meet Santa? (2019)

From a pair of filmmakers known as The Bug Pen/Mountain North. Wanna Meet Santa? is a micro short, coming in at 1 minute and 20 seconds in total. Not much time at all to tell a story but credit where it is due, Wanna Meet Santa? does very well.

Not just telling a concise story that chills in a gleefully enjoyable way but by being very festive at the same time.

It’s a simple story, a couple get up early to set the scene on Christmas morning for their children. The father is going to dress up as Santa. So, when the mother sees him in his full outfit bending down at the tree, she presumes he is ready and goes to wake the kids.

…and then she runs into him in the hallway saying that he isn’t ready. So, who was that at the tree?

A nice scare, a fun story, a very Christmassy feeling horror. This is how to do micro shorts. Check it out below, it’s 80 seconds of your life.
