Violent Night - Official Trailer

Synopsis said:

From 87North, the bare-knuckle producers of Nobody, John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, Bullet Train and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw comes a coal-dark holiday action-comedy that says you should always bet on red.

When a team of mercenaries breaks into a wealthy family compound on Christmas Eve, taking everyone inside hostage, the team isn’t prepared for a surprise combatant: Santa Claus (David Harbour, Black Widow, Stranger Things series) is on the grounds, and he’s about to show why this Nick is no saint.

The film also stars Emmy winner John Leguizamo (John Wick), Cam Gigandet (Without Remorse), Alex Hassell (Cowboy Bebop), Alexis Louder (The Tomorrow War), Edi Patterson (The Righteous Gemstones) and Beverly D’Angelo (National Lampoon’s Vacation franchise).

Directed by razor-edged Norwegian director Tommy Wirkola (Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Dead Snow franchise), Violent Night is produced by 87North’s Kelly McCormick David Leitch and Guy Danella. The original screenplay is by Pat Casey & Josh Miller, the writers of Sonic the Hedgehog. The film’s executive producer is Marc S. Fischer.

It looks like a fun Christmas film for grown ups.

[slopes]

It looks very silly with entirely far too many cliches in it.





I'm in, when is this coming out again?

Another reason to look forward to Christmas. Wishing the next 8 weeks away.

Looks dire in every way.

The human baddies can't win against an immortal so what's the point..

Fancy a Christmas movie that mixes heartwarming camp with gruesome violence? Well, Universal Pictures has got the film for you.

Santa comes to the aid of a family being robbed on Christmas Eve and dispatches the bad guys with a blood splattered ending. Probably best not get on the Naughty List.

"It's time for some season's beatings"

Looks like good clean leave your brain at home fun.
The trailer prompted *that* look from Mrs D when I laughed out loud at the 'seasons beatings' line, so I may be watching it on my own.

[anonymous-user]

Yep I agree. My mate told me about this. Seems a good laugh to throw your cares away, worries for another day.

Watched it tonight superb fun best bets of die hard and home alone

Shame its a 15, had they made it an 18 it could have been much nastier. But I guess by having it at a 15 it appeals to a wider audience.
I saw it as an adult Home Alone, with blood and gore. David Harbour however plays a really good part as Santa.

I thought they did well with it been a 15
