Get Ready for a Unique Holiday Thriller: Blue Christmas Coming to Blu-ray and DVD

On November 12th, VCI Entertainment is set to release the stylish noir film Blue Christmas, directed by Max Allan Collins (known for Road to Perdition), on Blu-ray and DVD. This film masterfully intertwines elements of classic holiday storytelling with the gritty essence of noir, creating a memorable viewing experience for fans of both genres.

A Yuletide Noir with a Twist

Blue Christmas offers a fresh take on the traditional holiday tale, combining the spirit of A Christmas Carol with the intrigue of The Maltese Falcon. The film follows tough private eye Richard Stone (played by Rob Merritt, known for Nun Smack), who finds himself reflecting on his life on Christmas Eve in 1942 Chicago. While the festive season brings joy to many, Stone is left grappling with the consequences of his actions—particularly his failure to solve the murder of his former partner, Jake Marley (portrayed by Chris Causey, of The Man in Purple).

A Ghostly Encounter

As Stone navigates the disappointments of his life, he receives an unexpected visit from Marley, who has come back from purgatory with a grave warning: Stone must solve his murder before midnight strikes. To aid him in this dark journey, Stone encounters the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future—each offering their own unique insights into his life and choices. Among them is a character reminiscent of Bonnie from Bonnie and Clyde, a recently deceased soldier, and even the King of Rock ’n Roll himself, bringing an unexpected flair to this hard-boiled narrative.
