There are no miracles here, only a murder to solve—and our favorite Knives Out detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is on the case. Wake Up Dead Man is the latest whodunnit film in the series, taking place in a Catholic church with Josh O'Connor as its protagonist (and 2025 hot priest) Father Jud. Even though it was only recently released on Netflix, it already has a massive fandom. 

Everyone is loving this film—from detective murder mystery fans to Catholics obsessed with the recent pop culture renaissance (pun intended). So, if you have someone like this in your life and you're scrambling to get them something for the holidays, we'd picked the best gifts that capture the vibe of Wake Up Dead Man. 

We're talking a fangirl-approved Benoit Blanc mug, Agatha Christie books that inspired writer-director Rian Johnson, framed movie posters, the classic mystery-solving board game Clue, a Blu-ray of their fave Pope movie, and so much more.

The origin of our love for mysteries! Whether you're a seasoned fan (including the iconic movie) or brand new to the classic board game, this retro-styled version from Hasbro is a must-have. 

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

Wake Up Dead Man writer and director Rian Johnson was inspired by many whodunnit classics, but Agatha Christie was always at the top of the list. For the series' second film, Johnson recommended "And Then There Were None."

He said: “It’s just this eerie, bizarre, scary, perfectly constructed little puzzle box of a horror story, and I think it’s extraordinary.”
