Lola is a true crime podcaster who is heading home for Christmas. It’s the first time she’s been back since she came out as transgender.
Her interest in true crime began due to a family annihilator in her town nicknamed the Toymaker, who used to play Santa for the local kids. For years after the murders, teenagers would go into the house blindfolded and call for the toymaker. Rumor was he’d either kill you or show you where his dead daughter’s body was hidden in the house. Lola was the one who located the body which peaked her interest in true crime.
When murders start occurring shortly after Lola arrives, the police label her a person of interest and tell her not to leave town. They suspect it’s either her or a follower of her podcast. Constable Kent is assigned to watch her, but he’s a fan of her podcast so he’s kind of lax about keeping tabs on her.
Lola starts investigating and makes a deal with Kent which makes no sense. He has to give her all the info the police have and then she’ll decide if she can trust him. Also he has to let her come and go as she pleases.
Kent proves to be even worse at his job than suspected when he finds a dead body and instead of calling the police to gather evidence, he calls Lola. While they suspect one of the police may be compromised, Lola being at the scene before police or forensics is likely to implicate her, especially with the hair tossing.
Better than some of the other films I’ve recently watched since I managed to make it through the entire movie, but not great.
Ridiculous dialogue
You have to promise me to text me every ten seconds so I know where you are.
