Bad Tidings
Two not-so-wise men save Christmas.
Directed by Tim Kirkby
Produced by Sky Studios
A lighthearted holiday comedy about two feuding neighbors who must team up to protect their street from criminals, blending neighbor-conflict humor with Christmas spirit and home-invasion action.
Grumpy home-security expert Neil feuds with his neighbour Scott, who insists on keeping his Christmas lights illuminated all year round. Their tit-for-tat argument culminates in Neil triggering a power cut across the entire street on Christmas Eve. But when the local crime family decide to rob every house on the street that night, the pair must set aside their differences to defeat them.
