Violent Night [DVD] [2022] [2023]

Product Information

Violent Night may be just 10 mins too long but thankfully that doesn't stop it from executing it's beautiful premise extremely well. A super violent and really funny action movie that doesn't forget to bring the necessary heart and festive spirit as a Christmas movie. What does the movie have to say about commercialism and greed? Are these things rewarded, or are they shown to be bad? How? This is the one moment where Violent Night’s cynical and starry-eyed threads successfully merge. For most of the movie, both are deployed in lazy ways. Whenever the writers and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters director Tommy Wirkola need to get out from whatever narrative corner they’ve painted themselves into, they lather on the earnest evocations of the magic of Christmas. Between those moments, withering sarcasm establishes an unearned sense of superiority. Much of the film’s affected edginess is directed at the Lightstones, the clan of über-wealthy assholes (and one relatively normal guy, because an audience always needs a surrogate) who gather for a dysfunctional Christmas celebration shortly after the film’s boozy cold open.

Violent Night: Other Editions

individual dressed like Santa, as a murdering maniac. Here, maybe the difference is that this is the real Santa who doesn't just distribute But Santa Claus isn’t much of a character to build a movie around, or at least Harbour’s version of him isn’t. Long stretches of the film are devoted to Harbour wandering around the estate, or pouring his heart out to young Trudy over the walkie-talkie her dad gave her at the beginning of the movie. (How Santa got the other radio is one of those “Uhhhh, magic?” moments, or maybe an editing issue.) The more time the movie spends with Santa, the less his motivations make sense. And the audience has a lot of time to think about these things — Violent Night slows to a crawl midway through, getting too talky and earnest for the script to bear. a name for itself. Santa, here, largely fights the criminal element with a sledgehammer and turns into a Christmas version of Thor, but with more blood. The film is violent but not grimly so, Violent Night 2 may not be just a pipe dream. Many have taken to the blood-soaked Christmas caper, and are keen to see more — David Harbour included, but more on that in a minute.
