"Every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart."

For over a century, the general public has been inundated with countless film, television and stage adaptations of Charles Dickens' 19th Century novella A Christmas Carol. Amidst this uncountable glut of retellings, director Bria... read more
