RJLE Films and Shudder give a look at the festive frights of the slasher-comedy It’s a Wonderful Knife.The trailer was shared by Entertainment Weekly with commentary from director Tyler MacIntyre. “It’s a Wonderful Knife is a spin on the classic It’s a Wonderful Life,” he said. “It’s about a young woman named Winnie Carruthers who lives in this town that’s obsessed with Christmas. There’s this tragedy that strikes the town, and she rises to the occasion, but her best friend is killed. We jump forward a year, and she’s wracked with guilt, and she’s unable to move on, and in her spiral she ends up making this wish that maybe things would be better if she didn’t exist. She wakes up into a nightmare version of this town, and there’s many more people dead, and it’s up to her to solve this mystery before it’s too late.”The film stars Jane Widdop as Winnie, whom MacIntyre first spotted in her role as Laura Lee on Yellowjackets. The director said he “loved that cast, loved that show, and thought [Widdop’s] character was a great comic relief, but also had a lot of heart. They were on my list of younger performers to consider when we were trying to find Winnie and they just did an amazing read.” She plays opposite Justin Long as Mayor Waters, who is soon revealed as the masked murderer. “I’ve been a huge fan of Justin’s work for many years and I love the out-there stuff like Tusk,” says MacIntyre. “I was looking for a big Christmas villain. We talked about a lot of references of showman-politicians, and that sort of baby boomer-smarminess, and he was channeling some of that.”RELATED: Elevator Game’s Star and Producer On the Power of Urban Legends
