Violent Night
Santa is on the prowl in Violent Night, and he’s packing heat, tattoos, and a surprising amount of heart. David Harbour is the grizzled-up Saint Nick, and he’s just a guy, still prone to tender sympathy with young believers, as well as vomiting from his sleigh during his holiday deliveries. But when he stumbles onto a band of mercenaries so dastardly you actually sympathize wholly with the wealthy family who owns the compound they’re attacking (and headed by a scene-stealing Beverly D’Angelo), he reluctantly decides to bring the Christmas cheer . . . by any hilariously violent means necessary.
