Cinema Australia readers have been treated to a handful of stunning new and exclusive images from Craig Anderson’s Red Christmas.

There’s still a lot of mystery surrounding the new Australian horror film starring legendary American actress, Dee Wallace (The Howling, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial) but all will be revealed when the film screens at this year’s Sydney Film Festival in June.

Wallace stars as Diane, a troubled matriarch who must defend her family when a mysterious stranger turns up at her secluded country mansion on Christmas day. A day of celebration becomes a night of terror, as the stranger reveals a secret from the family’s past, and threatens to destroy their future.

The film also stars Geoff Morrell, Sarah Bishop and Janis McGavin.

After having our faith restored in Australian horror by Scare Campaign, the Cinema Australia team is very excited for this film’s release.

Tickets to the Q&A screening of Red Christmas at this year’s Sydney Film Festival are available here.
