I feel like this is my favorite Holiday horror movie.
Santa is dead. He has been for centuries. But now, a team is digging in his grave to get him back. And he comes back...
I've heard about this a lot before. I have not seen the short this is based on yet.
The story is great. It's another one of those very inventive movies that does something I have never seen before. Also I feel like Krampus got at least a little inspiration through this movie.
I think I've written this before but I don't usually like children as the protagonists of movies because they always behave kind of weird, in a way that no 6 to 10 year old child would behave. But this is one of those movies were the kid behaves believably. He doesn't behave like I would have at that age, but he grew up with a hunter father who toughened him up for sure (I wouldn't have handled a shotgun at that age).
The rest of the actors are great, they all feel real and are totally bad-ass. It's shot well and all looks good.
Also there are some really great shots that I won't say because it's spoilers.
Some CGI-shots in the ending don't look that real, but hey, it's a Finnish movie from 2010, and I can totally forgive that.
This movie was packing up till the end, with a great story and some uncomfortable humor.
I'm rating this 4.5 out of 5 stars and a big like plus recommendation.
