The official trailer has been released for 'SANTAPHOBIA', a new British supernatural Christmas horror from writer-director Airell Anthony Hayles, ahead of its UK digital release on 30 November 2026.
The film centres on filmmaker Emma Thomas, who sets out to investigate the disturbing legends surrounding a notorious Santa's Grotto in Surrey.
Nicknamed “Satan's Grotto” following a horrific Christmas Day incident in the early 1980s, the attraction has become associated with terrifying visions, unexplained violence and stories of visitors unable to escape its influence.
Determined to separate fact from superstition, Emma enters the reopened grotto to document what happens inside.
But as supernatural events begin to unfold and reality appears to repeat itself, Emma and her companions become trapped in an increasingly terrifying nightmare.
'SANTAPHOBIA' combines supernatural horror, recovered-footage storytelling and a dark festive setting, turning the traditional Christmas grotto into something far more sinister.
The film stars Lizzie Aaryn-Stanton, Emily Booth and Cory Peterson.
