Starring: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes

Genre: Gothic Horror / Psychological Fantasy

From visionary director Ti West, this chilling reimagining of Dickens’ classic transforms the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge into a dark descent into guilt, greed, and the supernatural. Set in a fog-drenched Victorian London, Johnny Depp portrays Scrooge — a tormented miser haunted not just by ghosts of Christmas, but by the echoes of his own cruelty. When the spirits arrive, they don’t offer redemption — they demand reckoning.

Through a series of terrifying encounters, Scrooge must relive the sins that built his empire of misery. But as the line between nightmare and reality blurs, he realizes the true horror isn’t the ghosts he sees… but the man he has become.

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.6/5) – A hauntingly elegant masterpiece — Depp’s most chilling role since Sweeney Todd.
