The Advent Calendar (2021)
Writer-director Patrick Ridremont’s new release has a memorable protagonist in Eva (Eugénie Derouand), a former ballerina who was paralyzed from the waist down after an accident, and must constantly battle micro-aggressions about her condition at work and in her social life. When her best friend gives her an antique advent calendar, it soon reveals its peculiar Twilight Zone quality: alongside candy and trinkets, it doles out supernatural miracles and startling horrors as it counts down to a truly twisted finish. (Streaming starting December 2 on Shudder)
