Product Information

Santa's Helpers (HD, 6 Mins.) - Another EPK feature that has cast and crew interviews, behind-the-scenes, set design, costumes, and more. This is all too short to be anything substantial. This is the one moment where Violent Night’s cynical and starry-eyed threads successfully merge. For most of the movie, both are deployed in lazy ways. Whenever the writers and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters director Tommy Wirkola need to get out from whatever narrative corner they’ve painted themselves into, they lather on the earnest evocations of the magic of Christmas. Between those moments, withering sarcasm establishes an unearned sense of superiority. Much of the film’s affected edginess is directed at the Lightstones, the clan of über-wealthy assholes (and one relatively normal guy, because an audience always needs a surrogate) who gather for a dysfunctional Christmas celebration shortly after the film’s boozy cold open. individual dressed like Santa, as a murdering maniac. Here, maybe the difference is that this is the real Santa who doesn't just distribute Much like those two movies, the pacing can drag a bit in between the heavier action beats, which are no doubt high-octane and full of red liquid. But in Violent Night'salmost two-hour run time, the story of the family issues and even some of Santa's past can be a bit uneven. There are some fun action moments, especially when Santa is getting beat up, but overcomes everyone with some blunt-force trauma each time. If the film kept its pace as it runs in the last 15 or so minutes, Violent Night would be the perfect action movie. Performances from everyone including a hammed-up John Leguizamo are entertaining and Harbour's performance as Santa is just the right amount of charm and brutality for this universe.

He's troubled by excessive greed in the world, he drinks a lot, he's burned out and thinking of quitting. But he's still moved by people who aren't selfish and who believe in the spirit of giving, and it motivates him to continue on and continue spreading joy. Young Trudy is a delightful character, all positivity and sweetness, which is especially admirable given that she was raised wealthy and could have turned out selfish and greedy.

David Harbour gives a terrific lead performance as Santa, displaying an emotional range way beyond what's expected and delivering some truly heartwarming moments with Leah Brady who brings a boundless optimism to her adorably innocent character.
