Johnny Depp's Horror 'Ebenezer' Haunts Theater's Today

Johnny Depp's Dark Holiday Horror 'Ebenezer' Officially Haunts Theaters Today

The holiday movie season is officially kicking off, but you might want to leave the cheerful carols at the door for this one! The highly anticipated, gothic horror reimagining of Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol has finally arrived, with Johnny Depp making his massive mainstream return as Ebenezer officially launches in cinemas today.

Directed and co-edited by horror maestro Ti West (X, Pearl), this isn't your standard, heartwarming holiday tale. West has taken the beloved 1843 novella and injected it with genuine psychological dread. The film follows a deeply tormented Ebenezer Scrooge (Depp) as he is forced on a visceral, terrifying journey through visions of his past, present, and future. Rather than receiving simple moral lessons, Scrooge must literally fight through these haunted, supernatural encounters for a chance at redemption and survival.

To bring this haunted Victorian world to life, Paramount Pictures assembled an absolute powerhouse cast alongside Depp:

- Ian McKellen brings his legendary gravitas to the role of Scrooge's doomed, chain-bound former partner, Jacob Marley.

- Rupert Grint steps into the shoes of the overworked and desperate clerk, Bob Cratchit.

- Daisy Ridley stars alongside Grint as his fiercely protective wife, Emily Cratchit.

- The ensemble is rounded out by Andrea Riseborough and Tramell Tillman as the terrifying Ghosts of Christmas Past and Present, respectively, with Sam Claflin playing Scrooge's eternally optimistic nephew, Fred.

When and Where to Watch:

The wait is officially over for fans looking to kick off the winter season with a healthy dose of frights. Following its massive world premiere in New York City earlier this month, the $38 million production is officially playing in theaters across the United States and the United Kingdom starting today, November 13, 2026.
