Last Christmas, we heard that Patrick Bergin (EastEnders) had signed on to star in a holiday horror film called Nutcracker, which Rebecca Matthews (The Gardener) was directing from a screenplay by Joe Knetter (Blind) that was based on a story by executive producer Jeff Miller (Once Upon a Time in Deadwood). That movie has now been released through the Tubi streaming service under the even more appealing title Nutcracker Massacre. To help you decide whether or not you’ll want to head over to Tubi and watch the movie as soon as possible, we have the trailer embedded above.
Executive produced by Commando director Mark L. Lester, Nutcracker Massacre follows a struggling novelist who visits her family for Christmas and finds a mysterious, life-size Nutcracker doll, which soon becomes possessed and wreaks havoc.
Bergin plays “a shopkeeper who knows much about the dark history of the doll”. He is joined in the cast by Beatrice Fletcher (Summoning Bloody Mary), Julie Stevens (Flight Mode), Andy Dixon (World’s Most Evil Killers), May Kelly (Easter Killing), Stephen Staley (Dinosaur Hotel), Tony Goodall (Jurassic Island), Chrissie Wunna (Dragon Fury), Kelly Rian Sanson (Dragon Fury 2), and Christophe Monplaisir (Sandwiched).
Nutcracker Massacre is a co-production between Millman Productions, Titan Global Entertainment, and Proportion Productions.
Matthews’ other directing credits include Pet Graveyard, Bad Nun: Deadly Vows, The Candy Witch, Witches of Amityville Academy, Bats, Cam Girls, HellKat, Cannibal Troll, Hatched, Exorcist Vengeance, Beneath the Surface, and Reign of Chaos. She is also a prolific producer, with over 50 producing credits to her name.
