The Grot in the Grotto

The Grot In The Grotto is a short, mockumentary style, Christmas horror, about the recruitment of homeless people, for the sole purpose of fashioning them into department store santas.

After being lured in with the promise of a hot meal.

A group of elves then continue to force feed these down and out souls, to fatten them up.

Before offering them a deal with the devil (here, in the form of Santa, as opposed to Satan).

This deal entitles them to a job over the festive season.

After which they are thrown back onto the streets, to survive until the next winter holiday rolls around.

Saturated with dark humour, it's a rather fun little Christmas short, even if it only mildly qualifies as horror.

But certainly worth a watch, at only about 6 minutes in length.

5 out 10.
