Original review by Top 100 Christmas Movies · Independent & ad-free

1980 - R - 100 MINS - HORROR

Top cast: Brandon Maggart, Jeffrey DeMunn

In a nutshell

A toy factory worker, mentally scarred as a child for learning the truth about Santa, suffers a nervous breakdown and sets out on a yuletide killing spree.

Our review

Not for the feint hearted, this is a strange and disturbing movie.  Although it manages to scare, the scenes of Santa bringing toys and the fairy tale style ending make this a festive thriller.
