Stars: Charles Gould, Quinn Jackson, John Anderson, Alison Fraser | Written and Directed by Nicholas Payne Santos
It’s Christmas-time. A young couple, Ashley and Sam, are on a vacation and are talking about their future and the things they want to do together. Ashley wants to have kids, start a family, get married, do the things that many people want to do in life. Sam, however, gets that cold-feet thing going on, jerks away and freaks out a bit. Things get complicated when Nolan, a handsome fellow who happens to be a friend of Sam’s from his childhood, enters the picture. He is much more the husband-type, and so this seasonal trip turns into something of a nightmare. Oh dear.

"Somebody might just come along and... take her." Dark Sky Films has released an official trailer for a indie horror comedy titled It Cuts Deep, premiering at the Nightstream Virtual Festival this month. While on Christmas vacation to his childhood home, Sam's world begins to close in around him in oddly horrifying and hilarious ways when his girlfriend Ashley's announcement that she wants to marry and start a family coincides with the sudden reappearance of an old acquaintance who alludes to Sam's violent past. Writer / director Nicholas Santos, making his first feature film, explains "It Cuts Deep is one of those films – opening on a recognizable set-up of a young angry murderer well on his way to becoming a psychopathic serial killer a la many an 80s slasher classic." Sounds like a clever update on slasher films and horror comedy. Starring Quinn Jackson as Ashley, Charles Gould as Sam, with John Anderson & Alison Fraser.

"Nothing comes between a man and his cone on a hot day."
Here's an amusing dark comedy short written and directed by Nicholas Santos called Ice Cream. The film is a simple story of murder, mystery, and ice cream. It's got a weird unexpected vibe, which is why I enjoyed it so much.
