like how Christmas cheer largely overshadows New Year’s celebrations,

Christmas horror films to fill the entire holiday season, New Year’s

British horror film showcases strong production value early on. A
group of six teens are introduced while having fun and getting into some
trouble with locals at a fair. After sinking a sailboat, the friends
find themselves stranded on an island off the coast of Wales. They
happen upon an ostensibly abandoned hotel, where the remainder of the
film is set. They soon learn that it’s not uninhabited; it’s haunted.

If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
