Fun killer Santa Claus horror-thriller that took a bit to get going (found the first 35-minutes to be a bit dull), but after that some truly suspense-filled scenes and hilarious moments with the kid going all out on Claus. A mish-mash of Home Alone meets Rambo with a little John Wick thrown in. **3.5/5**
