What would the world be like if you didn’t stop a murder?

In a horror twist of the well-known James Stewart film, It’s a Wonderful Life, It’s a Wonderful Knife follows a young woman who quickly discovers that her family and friends receive a more devasting consequence if she doesn’t exist to stop a serial killer.

The film stars Jane Widdop (Yellow Jackets), Justin Long (Barbarian), Katharine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps), Jess McLeod (One of Us is Lying), and Cassandra Naud (Influencer).

Here is the official synopsis of the film:

In It’s a Wonderful Knife, a year after saving her town from a psychotic killer on Christmas Eve, Winnie Carruther’s life is less than wonderful—but when she wishes she’d never been born, she finds herself in a nightmare parallel universe and discovers that without her, things could be much, much worse. Now the killer is back, and she must team up with the town misfit to identify the killer and get back to her own reality. It’s a Wonderful Life by the way of Scream.
