EP#304 Director Jenn Wexler ("The Ranger" "The Sacrifice Game")

Kevin Lane's Spill Your Guts

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Santa is checking lists twice and all us horror fans are revisiting our favorite Christmas horror films. Black Christmas, Silent Night Deadly Night, Christmas Evil, Gremlins, Rare Exports, Krampus… the list goes on and on. Here at Spill Your Guts, our Christmas gift to you is two back to back episodes with the filmmakers of what are sure to become new Christmas horror classics.

In this episode, we are sitting down with director Jenn Wexler to talk about her new film “The Sacrifice Game”.

Set in the 70’s, the film is a love letter to not just classic Christmas horror but an atmospheric home invasion story with wicked supernatural flares. It’s also a thoughtful and sensitive look at finding friendship and connection.

Jenn and I sat down to talk about her inspirations, how she fell in love with the Christmas horror genre, the undying influence of Buffy Summers and why this movie had to be set on Christmas and in the 70’s.

“The Sacrifice Game” is available now on Shudder.

So, pour yourself some Eggnog and sit down by the Christmas tree and let’s explore some festive madness with director Jenn Wexler!
