The Grinch‘s blood-red Santa Claus coat is not the one splash of crimson that’ll be decking the halls this vacation season. Inspired by Dr. Seuss’s traditional kids’s story, the furry inexperienced villain is making a killer comeback in XYZ Films’ new parody horror film.
“The Mean One” — which acquired its title from the track “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” initially carried out by Thurl Ravenscroft within the 1966 animated TV particular “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” — reimagines the story of the notorious Grinch by sucking out all of the childood whimsy and changing it with a grotesque storyline that leads to piles of blood-stained snow.
If Dr. Seuss’s authentic Grinch was as cuddly as a cactus and as charming as an eel, it feels like director Steven LaMorte’s The Mean One (David Howard Thornton) is somebody Cindy (Krystle Martin) may must battle off with a 39-and-a-half-foot pole. “In a sleepy mountain city, Cindy [You-Know-Who] has her dad and mom murdered and her Christmas stolen by a blood-thirsty inexperienced determine in a crimson Santa swimsuit — The Mean One,” the movie’s IMDb web page reads. “But when the ravenous, Christmas-hating creature begins to terrorize the city and threatens to smash the vacation, she finds a brand new objective — trapping and killing the monster.”
Does “ravenous” indicate that The Mean One’s model of “roast beast” is not rooster or turkey however his victims as meals after they have been slain? It appears possible. But with Cindy You-Know-Who — a play on phrases of Cindy Lou Who — out for revenge, the serial killer’s reign of terror may lastly be put to an finish.
Read forward for the whole lot we find out about “The Mean One,” together with when you can watch it.
