REVIEW: ViolentNight wants to be 'Die Hard,' 'Bad Santa' and 'Home Alone' all wrapped up in one. It's really just the chlamydia of Christmas movies: agonizing, inflammatory and likely to make you question your life choices.
Claus wasn’t the holly, jolly fellow we know from a zillion Christmas cards, seasonal TV specials and traumatic mall visits? What if he was now just a bitter old drunk, drowning his sorrows in bottomless pints and bitching about his annual delivery of presents to kids? But then one fateful Christmas eve, when our man Kringle is loitering in a swanky mansion and dipping into some expensive brandy after dropping off gifts, a gang of criminals break into the place and hold the occupants hostage.
’s foul-mouthed, booze-binging Clause turns the human embodiment of yuletide cheer into a complete bastard, the creators ofmay want to look into a lawsuit. It’s probably not a coincidence that Beverly D’Angelo, she ofplays the mansion’s rich owner. You can throw in a host of gross-out comedies and various midnight-movie offerings that traffic in gore and absurdity as well.
We say all of this at the risk of earning boulder-sized lumps of coal in our stockings, because what we’ve described above sounds like it might be fun, or funny, or the sort of thing that delivers a giddy psychotronic jolt when viewed with friends. That’s the least you could expect from a movie that revolves around Enraged Santa Crushes Skulls With Hammer Named ‘Skullcrusher,’ right? Right?!
