Dec 07, 2020What if evil Santa was buried thousands of years ago in the ice and was then dug up in Finland? Wait -- does that mean John Carpenter's The Thing is Santa? Nope -- wrong pole. I do foresee a crossover with Troll Hunters though: Trolls vs. Santa.

Dec 30, 2019This movie wasn't really what I expected it to be. If you're anticipating something on the level of Krampus or other American Christmas horror entries, it's not really that. It is definitely a darker take on Christmas, but it does so with a much cheekier edge. It's a slow-burn movie, more character driven, and based on ideas and storytelling moreso than outlandish imagery and effects. That said, there's some pretty insane stuff near the end, but a lot of this movie is the characters learning the legend and figuring out what's going on for themselves. For that, it still works for me. I enjoyed the characters, and even though I knew what they were going to discover how they discovered it was still fun to watch. It's a weird little film.Michael M Super Reviewer

Dec 11, 2018I love the idea of looking at the darker aspects of the Santa myth, but the movie just never fully realizes its potential.Alec B Super Reviewer

Sep 11, 2014Completely loopy Scandinavian riff on the Santa Claus legend told as a foreboding ghost story! He originally wasn't the rosy-cheeked character he's become for today's commercial marketplace you see, the historic Santa was vicious and posed a particular threat to naughty children. When a wealthy businessman locates the body of the first Santa literally buried under a mountain in Finland, the nearby villagers deal with the ramifications. Well acted and wholly original Christmas escapade never really experiences any flashpoints, preferring a muted and realistic (believe it or not!) approach leading to an inspired, pleasingly ridiculous ending.Doctor S Super Reviewer
