December is here, which can only mean one thing: “There’ll be parties for hosting / Marshmallows for toasting / And caroling out in the snow / There’ll be scary ghost stories / And tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago.”

With immediate classic status bestowed upon the Clea DuVall feature, it’s time to reflect on the flick. Instead of the words of Andy Williams, Swooon is going to head into the world of the 2020 film, not to sing its praises, which it deserves, but rather to tell everyone who wants to listen what a massive mistake the film made.
