David Harbour plays Santa as a cynical drunk who feels resentful of how greedy modern children are.

This influential Bruce Willis flick has endured for a reason: it’s an utter genre classic.

Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans star in Red One

Just because they put aside their differences and learn to appreciate Christmas doesnt mean that theyre saved, though.

Dougherty delivers a cynical and darkly funny movie that opts for sadistic playfulness over holiday warmth.

Santas Slay is so cartoonish that it barely qualifies as horror, functioning more like an ultra-violent slapstick comedy.

Writer-director David Steiman knows exactly how silly his premise is, and the actors play up that silliness accordingly.

Its more entertaining than Red One on a tiny fraction of the budget.

John Woo’s “Silent Night” is a decent follow-up if you want another more violent festive flick.
