AVAILABLE NOW! RATED R  112 MINUTES AMAZON From the producers of Nobody and John Wick comes a bare-knuckle, coal-dark holiday action-comedy that says you should always bet on red. When a team of mercenaries breaks into a wealthy family compound taking everyone inside hostage, they are not prepared for a surprise combatant: Santa Claus. David Harbour (Stranger Things) stars as St. Nick, delivering some serious season's beatings to save the family and the spirit of Christmas. REVIEW: I was expected a gory horror movie, I mean look at the cover art. Reading the title gives the same vibes. It wasn't what I expected at all and it was so much better. It was funny. It had some kick-butt violent moments, hence the name, but it was literally about Santa saving Christmas. It helped actors like John Leguizamo is in it.

It’s business as usual on the set of another cheap sword-and-sandal production by Pharos Pictures—until the lead actress suddenly falls into a deep, mysterious sleep.
