Found footage meets Santa Clause. A short horror with a sinister twist.
3/5

Review

‘The Blair Santa Project’ is a spirited attempt to infuse the holiday season with a dose of found footage horror, and while it may not hit all the marks, it still manages to deliver a modest thrill. Blake Garbe’s direction brings a homemade charm to the film, immersing viewers in the cozy yet unsettling atmosphere of the family home.

Caleb Garbe’s portrayal of the eager family man awaiting Santa brings a comical element that kick’s off the narrative. As tensions rise throughout the night, Blake Garbe’s portrayal of Santa Claus adds a layer of intrigue, with hints of sinister intent lurking beneath the surface.

The decision to hand the camera over to Santa in a POW-style sequence is a bold move that injects a jolt of adrenaline into the film. While it may not fully capitalize on the potential for terror, it’s a creative touch that keeps viewers engaged until the abrupt ending.

While the film may falter in its execution at times, particularly in its pacing and narrative coherence, it still manages to deliver an enjoyable experience, albeit brief. There’s a charm to its rough edges, a sense of authenticity that shines through despite its limitations. ‘The Blair Santa Project’ may not sleigh every aspect of its ambitious vision, but it succeeds in delivering a merry thrill.
