Ebenezer

Ebenezer (2026) is a title you can watch online right now — a bleak fantasy drama about a miser who gets a visit from the other side on Christmas Eve. Director Ti West, the horror mind behind the X trilogy, took Dickens' ghost story and drained out the coziness. Johnny Depp leads.

On the night before Christmas, the miser is confronted by three uninvited guests who each hand him a piece of his own life — what it was, what it is now, and what's coming if nothing changes. Around Depp, the cast plays like an ensemble drama rather than a horror vehicle: Rupert Grint, Andrea Riseborough, Ian McKellen, Daisy Ridley.

There's no shortage of adaptations about a stingy old man haunted by spirits, but this one leans into dread rather than fireside comfort, closer to a gothic chiller than a family special. Skip it if you want the cozy version; stick around if you want Scrooge played as a horror figure. Catch Ebenezer online on iFILM.
