It seems to me that most of the reviewers have missed the point. That
there was none. This movie is simply out to entertain.
It is not one of
those kinds that depend on a chilling story or strong
characters. (Although some sequences were quite
thrilling). It simply is a slasher movie based on a classic myth, and
a grand celebration in the Netherlands of the original St.
Nicolas. Sinterklaas (O.G. Santa if you will). It is supposed to be over
the top. Bad acting, bad dialogue, not very likable characters, and lots of (CGI) blood and gore. To expect more will surely lead to
disappointment. Everybody familiar with Dick Maas' previous work could
have expected this. Since it is far from a stretch, even when this
production leans more towards a comedy. And his comedies weren't
exactly of the subtle and clever kind.
Maybe not completely on par with
Dead Snow and Rare Exports (which can be debated), it sure does provide
the same amount of entertainment.
