20 Best Christmas Horror Movies You NEED To Watch

The phenomenally talented indie filmmaker Jim Cummings followed up his superb debut Thunder Road with The Wolf of Snow Hollow, a deliciously entertaining little movie about a Utah town being terrorised by a werewolf over the Christmas period.

While Cummings' film doesn't fly its holiday flag quite as high as some other features on this list, there's still a paradoxically cosy vibe to its snow-kissed setting, no matter the bloodshed that follows.

The Wolf of Snow Hollow is also notable for being the final film completed by the late, great Robert Forster, who gives a terrific performance as the Sheriff trying to bring the mayhem under control. And on top of all this, it's a movie that refreshingly toys with audience expectations for both the werewolf movie and low-budget filmmaking as a whole. Without giving too much away, there's a rug-pull here that lands just perfectly.

At just 84 minutes in length, it can't ever be accused of outstaying its welcome.
