Take a guess: When you think of a Christmas movie, you think of "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella" or a wintry New York love monzette. But there's another way.
You probably imagine it like this: You're snuggled up on the sofa, it's snowing big flakes outside and you start a romantic, kitschy Christmas movie. Nope, not for this time: we present five alternatives that are anything but Christmas tearjerkers.
The best anti-Christmas movies
"Bad Santa" is definitely an absolute anti-Christmas movie. And 'Nightmare Before Christmas' is also set at Christmas time, but the atmosphere is more reminiscent of Halloween.
In the movie "Krampus", the title says it all: instead of merry Santas, there are Krampuses: devilish figures who mess everything up.
"Santa's Slay" is a horror comedy that completely turns our idea of Santa Claus on its head. Here, Santa Claus is a nasty demon who terrifies people after a 1000-year curse.
