When lonely Eva (Eugénie Derouand), a wheelchair user, receives a spooky advent calendar for her birthday, the instructions couldn’t be starker: “Follow the rules, if you don’t you die!” What emerges is a take on The Monkey’s Paw, with wishes/curses for each December day. Should Eva choose to walk again, or bin the calendar? Though undeniably well crafted, and featuring a strong lead turn from Derouand, French writerdirector Patrick Ridremont’s horror has a coarse streak that doesn’t quite gel with the goofy Christmas concept, it makes for awkward viewing.
