As Santa Claus, David Harbour is all set to meet his lively fans on December 2. But this year, Santa does not seem anything ordinary.
The plot then slightly deviates to a happy family, who is relatively more excited about the year’s Christmas, paving a direct way for their little daughter to Santa.
The scene makes anyone drool for that moment, but in a split second, waves of laughter change to sequences of actions. It turns Santa into an unwitting action hero, who ultimately wears the shoes of a savior.
Per the official synopsis, a bunch of mercenaries breaks into the same home on Christmas eve, only to hold the family hostage, without knowing the presence of Santa. The team invades the home with the foul intention of stealing the $300 million fortune from the family’s vault.
But the twist begins from the moment they come face to face with Santa, who surprises them after showing up from a chimney. The appearance itself was more than enough for them to realize he has thrown a whole lot of cola in their plans.
Although the Violent Night mystery thriller is going to be bloody, it still has the potential to make you burst into laughter throughout the 2 hours, while Santa rescues the entire family members from the thugs.
If you only prefer watching festive-styled movies alone on the occasion of Christmas, Violet Night is still the best pick for you. Besides focusing on the darker sides of Christmas, it also invites attention to the staples of a holiday movie.
The Violent Night trailer has certain portions that delve deep into the way how an honest Santa Claus punishes those on his naughty list. In fact, Santa even drops his entire plans for the evening, only to save the family whose Christmas is uprooted when the bad guys break into their compound.
