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 there were some sequences that were quite
thrilling). It simply is a slasher movie based on a classic myth and
still 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 dialog, not very likable characters, and lots of
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 is more leaning 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.
