THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT is a comedy thriller in which a wrestling fan is instructed to kidnap a teenage girl who bears a striking resemblance to his dead sister in order to save Christmas.

violence
A character strangles a teenage girl using a noose made from a neck brace and Christmas lights. A man pushes a pump nozzle into a fantastical character’s mouth and fills their head with petrol, causing their eyes to bulge. There is sight of blood spurting out of a character's gunshot wound in the aftermath of violence.
threat and horror
A teenage boy helplessly watches his sister die in a tragic accident. A man chases a captive character through a building and forces her to take part in a sacrifice. However, the overall tone of the film is darkly comic and there are ultimately reassuring outcomes.
language
Occasional strong language ('f**k') occurs, as well as use of the middle finger gesture, moderate bad language (‘bitch’) and milder terms such as 'shit', 'bullshit', ‘screwed’, 'hell', 'God' and 'damn'.
sex
A teenage girl overhears her mother having noisy sex with her lover. A man receives a lapdance at a strip club. These scenes take place within a comic context.
additional issues
References are made to mental health and schizophrenia.
