Just after a bad breakup, Charlie MacKenzie falls for lovely butcher Harriet Michaels and introduces her to his parents. But, as voracious consumers of sensational tabloids, his parents soon come to suspect that Harriet is actually a notorious serial killer -- "Mrs. X" -- wanted in connection with a string of bizarre honeymoon killings. Thinking his parents foolish, Charlie proposes to Harriet. But while on his honeymoon with her, he begins to fear they were right.
Editor's Verdict
"While the film features themes of romance and family—which can sometimes overlap with Christmas—there is no indication that the story takes place during the Christmas season, nor does Christmas play any meaningful role in the plot, themes, or resolution. The central focus is on the suspenseful romance and potential serial killer subplot."
