Vampire Santa Claus Is Coming to Town in Ilja Rautsi’s Charades-Sold ‘Red Snow,’ Which Debuts Clip: ‘It’s a Gruesome Christmas Present’ (EXCLUSIVE) — Variety published an exclusive first clip from Ilja Rautsi’s horror-comedy Red Snow, introducing a bloodthirsty Santa who upends a teenager’s vampire fantasy.
Variety’s story says Charades is selling Red Snow and that the article debuts the film’s exclusive clip, describing the picture as a Finnish vampire-Santa horror-comedy written and directed by Ilja Rautsi.
The Variety piece outlines the film’s premise: sixteen-year-old Johanna expects a glittering vampire prince but encounters Martti, a “balding, beer-bellied 49-year-old bloodsucker,” and the clip is framed as a darkly comic, gruesome holiday moment.
Red Snow is presented as a Charades-handled title in the Variety coverage, which also situates the film within the holiday-horror vein that mixes festive iconography and gore.
The article includes details from the exclusive clip and from the Charades sales announcement, and it frames the movie as Ilja Rautsi’s feature debut; Variety’s metadata lists the story as published on November 13, 2026.
Why it matters: the Variety exclusive gives the first public look at Red Snow’s tone and central conceit, and confirms Charades’ involvement in bringing the film to international buyers.
