Hailey is a podcaster, YouTuber, and does a blog on urban legends. She’s 26, lives at home, struggles with depression, has an alcoholic father and 100 followers.
She’s looking to increase her following so she buys a Krampus advent calendar on the dark web. She plans to vlog about it each day and prove the legends aren’t true. What legend, you ask? The one that says if you open each door on the calendar, the devil will take your soul on Christmas morning.
Her friend Charlie believes the legend is real and they shouldn’t mess with it. His dad was psychic and told him curses are real. But Hailey jokes of course it’s not real and there is no risk.
Each day she opens a door on the advent calendar and films herself completing the task listed, including sacrificing Charlie’s guinea pig. I’m not sure if he realized her role in its death before he disappeared. She has notifications on her phone so she can see every time someone likes one of her posts. Yikes!
As the days go by, Hailey gets what she thinks is a cold. There is a lot of exposition provided by Hailey’s college advisor, which is intercut with the scenes of Hailey and Charlie.
Ridiculous dialogue
Hailey’s mother had become that person you see in the town square conversing with the air.
