Amazon's holiday ad was turned into a horror film with 1 simple change
As Amazon continues its attempt at global domination, one Twitter user's tweak to the company's holiday ad makes things far more sinister. If you have a darker view of Amazon and its reported practices, it's a little more realistic.
The original ad features a jingley cover of The Jackson's "Can You Feel It," but filmmaker Omar Najam swapped that out for a piece of music from Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The doom and gloom makes it the most affecting horror film of 2018.
