If you live in a country where Christmas is widely celebrated, and you're drawing oxygen, you've probably heard at least one person point out that "Santa" and "Satan" are made up of the same letters. Maybe it was your nosy evangelical neighbor. Maybe it was a kid at school. Maybe...

Jack Black is reteaming with the Farrelly Brothers (Dumb and Dumber, There’s Something About Mary, Kingpin, Shallow Hal) for the Christmas comedy Dear Santa, which centers on a kid who accidentally writes a letter to… Satan. It’s a family-friendly affair rather than any kind of horror movie, but you can watch the official trailer for Dear Santa below.

Jack Black is Not Santa this holiday season.

Dear Santa comes to Paramount+ and Digital on November 25, 2024.

In the upcoming Dear Santa, “When a young boy mails his Christmas wish list to Santa with one crucial spelling error, a devilish Jack Black arrives to wreak havoc on the holidays.”

Keegan-Michael Key, Brianne Howey, Hayes MacArthur, Pj Byrne, Jaden Carson Baker, Kai Cech and Austin Post star alongside Jack Black in the holiday comedy.

Director Bobby Farrelly tells Entertainment Weekly, “We never wanted to make it a horror movie or something like that.

The Amityville Curse seemed to bear a couple of its own curses. It’s an Amityville knockoff and after Amityville Cult, Amityville Thanksgiving, Amityville in the Hood, and so many more, it’s pretty much a guarantee of mediocrity. Secondly, it’s a Tubi Original, which usually carries a very similar guarantee.

But there were a couple of reasons to be hopeful as well. Director Éric Tessier may not be well known outside of Quebec but his adaptions of two of Patrick Senécal’s novels, 5150 Elm’s Way and more importantly, Sur le Seuil aka Evil Words, are both excellent. Dennis Heaton wrote the film, based on the novel by the late Hans Holzer. Heaton you may recall wrote the Billy Connolly zom-com Fido.
