Storyline

"O'Hellige Jul!" follows both a serial killer as he plans for his next kills, and the next set of victims he has set his sights on. As the group of friends we get to know prepare for Christmas in their own way we also follow the killer as he stalks and does his final research for this years Christmas cruelty. In the last act of the movie he invades the home of our group of friends to execute his twisted little plan as foreshadowed in the first act.

Trivia

Director Per-Ingvar Tomren is probably one of the world's first stuntmen with Brittle Bone Disease (Osteogenesis Imperfecta). The reason why this combination is so rare should be pretty obvious: during the shooting of "O'Hellige Jul!" Per-Ingvar fractured two ribs, a lot of fingers, toes, small bones, his jaw and sustained a skull fracture - which led to internal bleeding and a permanent brain damage.
