Editor’s note: Here’s a quick take on The Advent Calendar (2021): A confident blend of Horror, Thriller, Drama, focused more on tone than spectacle. Under Patrick Ridremont’s direction, the film keeps a steady rhythm and a clear sense of place. Eugénie Derouand, Honorine Magnier, Clément Olivieri anchor the film with grounded, unshowy work. Clocking in at 1h 44m, the pacing is controlled, with room to breathe. Solid if imperfect—its strengths outweigh a few rough edges. The marketing line “Will you live until Christmas this year?” isn’t just flair; it’s fairly accurate. Worth a watch for the craft alone, even beyond the genre appeal.
