When it comes to Christmas movies, so many of us turn to perennial classics to get us in the mood for some festive, fireplace-crackling fun. But if you’re looking for a “not-so-silent night” with a little jingle hell, Shudder’s newest slasher, It’s a Wonderful Knife is your best bet for some creatures stirring. The holiday-themed horror comedy puts a Gen Z spin on the Frank Capra and Jimmy Stewart classic It’s a Wonderful Life by turning the premise into a rather modernized version of the nightmare our beloved hero George Bailey endures. In an exclusive interview with Collider for the Christmas horror movie out now on Shudder, It’s a Wonderful Knife star Joel McHale tells Collider that jumping at the chance to put a spin on “one of the greatest movies ever made” through its film-noir elements was a large appeal for him. “[It’s a Wonderful Life] threads so many needles, and it’s science fiction, I mean, on top of everything else,” he told Collider in an exclusive sit-down. “Jimmy Stewart is one of the greatest movie stars of all time. I mean, that movie is literally perfect, and so why not add slashers? Why not add a faceless angel that shows up and kills people?” #JoelMcHale #ItsaWonderfulKnife #CommunityMovie For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL
