Snake5555555555 12/09/22 4:35:37 AM #94 | Inside No. 9 - The Devil of Christmas (special holiday write-up) https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/9/7/AAR-tQAAD-DV.jpg Importance: 3 Fear: 9 Snake: 10 (22 points) An episode of Inside No. 9 that originally aired in 2016. Steve Pemberton plays Julian, a wealthy husband who takes his mother, his pregnant wife, and his son on holiday to an Austrian Alpine chalet. After laying eyes on a painting of Krampus, the "Devil of Christmas", the family begins a slow-burning spiral of terror and psychological trauma. The Devil of Christmas is a series of escalating events that turns itself on its head. It's hard to discuss the Devil of Christmas without ruining the experience for those who haven't watched it. It's not an entirely typical episode of Inside No. 9, and it's certainly not a comedy-focused episode but does still have elements. But this send up to 1970s anthology horror is a morbid yet spellbinding study in the clash between blood and Christmas. You see - The Devil of Christmas isn't merely some lost 70s horror production or a cheap riff on the legend of Krampus - this is a genuinely disturbing episode of British television. And it's directed with a beautifully joyous attachment by Graeme Harper. It's an episode that works on multiple fronts at all times and only gains yet another layer the second time you watch it - it's perhaps my favorite in an already stellar collection of Inside No. 9 episodes. It's legitimately one of my favorite episodes of any TV show ever. As someone who loves said 1970s horror anthology shows, it was a pleasure to see this episode take on such an authentic look whilst providing some of the most disturbing moments you'll ever bear witness to in a show of this nature. This episode is the best in the entire series, and in terms of Christmas episodes there's almost nothing else like it. Fantastic work by Jessica Raine (Kathy), Graeme Harper (director) and Steve Pemberton & Reece Shearsmith (writers & actors). Let me know if you've seen this episode or have watched it for the first time. Do you know of any others like it? I'd love to hear any thoughts or comments you have on the episode or its unique context. Just wanted to do a special write-up on this episode since it's Christmas time and everything. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.
