“Suburban Screams” Exclusive Behind the Scenes Video – John Carpenter Returns to the Director’s Chair

Slasher classic Scream meets holiday classic It’s a Wonderful Life in the upcoming It’s a Wonderful Knife, and Bloody Disgusting has some exclusive new stills to share this morning.

The Christmas slasher comes from writer Michael Kennedy (Freaky) and director Tyler MacIntyre (Tragedy Girls), and you can check out the stills above and below.

The most notable of our exclusive images, seen up above, gives us a fresh – and bloody – look at It’s a Wonderful Knife‘s masked slasher, known simply as “The Angel.”

Every time a bell rings, The Angel gets to kill…

From RLJE Films and Shudder, It’s a Wonderful Knife will be released in theaters across the U.S. on November 10, becoming available for streaming on Shudder at a later date.

The film was originally described as a mix of Scream and It’s a Wonderful Life, and those inspirations are very much on display in the official trailer. Should be a fun one for the holidays.

The story is set in idyllic Angel Falls. A year after saving her town from a psychotic killer on Christmas Eve, Winnie Carruthers’ life is less than wonderful — but when she wishes she’d never been born, she finds herself in a nightmare parallel universe and discovers that without her, things could be much, much worse. Now the killer is back, and she must team up with the town misfit to identify the killer and get back to her own reality.

It’s a Wonderful Knife stars Jane Widdop (“Yellowjackets”) in the lead role of ‘Winnie Carruthers’, with Joel McHale (“Community”) set to play Winnie’s father ‘David’ and Justin Long (Barbarian) playing the town’s patron ‘Mr Waters’. Katharine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps), Jess McLeod (One of Us Is Lying) and Cassandra Naud (Influencer) also star.

Michael Kennedy wrote the script and also serves as Producer.

“We’re excited to release It’s a Wonderful Knife and once again work with its amazing cast and filmmakers,” said RLJE Films’ Chief Acquisitions Officer, Mark Ward. “Over the last few years, we’ve been fortunate to have released horror/holiday films that have been embraced by audiences and we believe this one is no exception.”
