This is more of a made for TV horror film than a major motion picture, but they did overall well with what they had to make this one viewable and to keep interest all the way through. It starts with a female writer first getting her book published after she caught her boyfriend cheating on her at the beginning of the Christmas holiday season, then having her aunt insisting that she come spend the holidays with her. Her aunt also has her cousin and boyfriend visit as well, only the cousin is super jealous with hatred over her book getting published, and has nothing but the wrong intents and desires for her. They also have a six foot tall wood sculpture of the nutcracker that becomes possessed by the spirit of the soldier that the original nutcracker sculpture was based on. It says that the original soldier eventually went crazy and killed two sisters before getting assassinated. They have to figure out a way to stop the curse before the spirit possessing the six foot tall wood sculpture kills everybody. It is not the greatest, but still overall well done and worth a look. There is a lot of good drama, dialogue, and well developed characters. Patrick Bergin does a good job playing the shop keeper. There is also plenty of eye opening artsy and gory scenes throughout the film. It should appeal to a good amount of those into the Christmas slasher sub-genre.
