XMAS is a survival-driven horror drama centered around a powerful female protagonist. It avoids the passive stereotypes often associated with women in such genres. Casting Emi Martinez-Zalce brings racial diversity to the lead role, marking a positive shift from past genre norms. However, the film lacks representation for LGBTQ+ characters or individuals with disabilities.
