Based on the Pratchett novel of the same name this movie is all about
the season of Hogswatch and the Hogfather. In the Discworld universe
Hogswatch is similar to Christmas and the Hogfather is basically Santa.
This year however a terrible thing has happened. The Hogfather is
missing. But because Hogswatch must go on someone else must take his
place. Death (who is an actual character, not just an event) steps in to
deliver presents to the children, while his granddaughter (yes Death
has a granddaughter) goes looking for Hogfather. It’s an unusual
Christmas story with a twist at the end. It may not be an enjoyable film
for everyone but if you are looking for a holiday movie you haven’t
seen year after year, this is for you.
[Also available in
traditional print format.]
