It's been a little over a year since we last had a look at Abiel Bruhn and John Rocco's Christmas horror-comedy film, The Night Sitter. After a fantastic debut trailer following a successful crowdfunding campaign through Kickstarter, the film was in a state of limbo as it explored options for release in the United States. Fortunately, as reported by THR, Uncork'd Entertainment has struck a deal with the production company to bring the movie stateside for a home video release.

Starring Elyse DuFour, who played Frankie, one of Negan's wives at the Sanctuary, during Season 7 of The Walking Dead, The Night Sitter is a horror-comedy themed around Christmas, featuring a trio of witches summoned up to cause all kinds of mayhem. Read the full synopsis for the film below.
