PEI Premiere
The horror/comedy that earned rave reviews out of Fantasia pounces on Charlottetown!
Unholy Night is an effortless blend of genres that brings the madcap energy of Evil Dead home for the holidays. Hilarious, heartfelt, and soaked in blood - there’s really nothing else like it at Anchor Fest 2026. Shot in Charlottetown and featuring an ensemble cast packed with local talent, this is a twisty holiday horror delight will surely earn a place on your Christmas movie rotation for years to come.
A family's Christmas Eve dinner becomes a nightmare as their reanimated grandmother crashes the celebration. It’s Christmas Eve, and Gino’s tight-knit Italian family can’t help but pass judgement on his life. While he struggles to keep it together, things come to a head when his reanimated nonna comes home for the holidays. In this wild and gloriously gory horror comedy, Gino and his family must work together to battle an onslaught of undead relatives and get their Christmas back on track. Shot in Charlottetown and featuring an ensemble cast packed with local talent - this is one you don’t want to miss!
Producer Jenna MacMillan will be in attendance for a post-screening Q&A, along with VFX producer Brendan Henry and cast members Morgan Saunders and Alissa Mahar.
This screening is part of ANCHOR Fest 2026.
