A Creature Was Stirring (2024)

Th

An additive is put in the world’s water supply without being properly vetted. The side effects are heart attacks, diarrhea, and a zombie apocalypse. 

After Mrs. Clause is bitten by an elf and turns in to a zombie, Santa moves to Texas. He spends his time talking to AI, interacting with a zombie neighbor, and using a ham radio to try to connect with children.  He also reads stories to himself and goes into town to make ice cream. 

I started watching because I thought this was a horror movie, but it quickly became apparent it’s a family movie. The zombies have green goo in their mouths or on their skin, but otherwise don’t look that bad. This is another movie where I bailed after twenty minutes.

At one point Santa says, “If you’re going to make a zombie omelette, you need to crack some eggs.”  Then it cut to a gooey cake being extracted from a pan and a family at the dinner table. I was totally confused about who these people were until I realized it’s a commercial because I was watching on Tubi. Perfect timing on that transition.
