The second directorial effort from filmmaker Shaky Gonzalez, this gory flick centers on an ex-con whose plans to go straight are curtailed by a fellow criminal and some demons. Tolo Montana stars as Carlitos, a man looking to make a fresh start and a life with his young son. Unfortunately, when he's talked into "one last job," Carlitos soon finds himself embroiled in a situation far beyond anything he'd bargained for. One Hell of a Christmas has also been known under the title The Claw.
