Put down that copy of Die Hard, toss aside that Gremlins tape… here’s a list of some alternatively festive (or creepy or funny or somewhere in-between) Christmas picks for you to watch this year.

Veronica looks at Black Christmas and Elves  – movies about female anxiety, loss of autonomy, murder, and, oh, Christmas.

AKA How to Lose Friends and Alienate People by telling them to shove their Christmas cheer and watch movies about losing yourself in a maze of hangovers and murder in the Australian outback.
