If you are going to rob a family on Christmas Eve, just do it after Santa Claus arrives. This is a course on criminal logic. If you don't, Santa could show up when you're there and you'll be in Reindeer shit.
This is not a parody of the trailer for Violent Night. The movie is going to be released in real movie theaters on December 2nd and it looks like a blast. David Harbour is playing the real Santa Claus who interrupted a robbery in order to deliver gifts on Christmas. Santa is the best person to save the family from being hurt. The trailer is shown here.
The idea of robbing people in a single location on Christmas, and one person who puts themselves on the line to save them, is similar to Die Hard. John McLane has special powers and is fond of cookies, so that is where the comparison ends. Santa and John seem to be able to raise hell with authority, and Santa doing so with exploding pieces of coal and sharp Christmas ornaments gives him a leg up on his enemies.
If this movie is half as entertaining as the trailer makes it out to be, it could become not just a big hit this holiday season, where competition for something more R-rated and fun is very thin, but in the future. The reason you make a Christmas movie is because of t hat. People watch it every year. It's possible that Violent Night becomes that.
The team behind Nobody, John Wick, Atomic Blonde, and more are behind Violent Night. On December 2, it will hit theaters.
