Bad Tidings
2024, English. Directed by Tim Kirkby.
Two not-so-wise men save Christmas.
Grumpy home-security expert Neil feuds with his neighbour Scott, who insists on keeping his Christmas lights illuminated all year round. Their tit-for-tat argument culminates in Neil triggering a power cut across the entire street on Christmas Eve. But when the local crime family decide to rob every house on the street that night, the pair must set aside their differences to defeat them.
