Saint Nick (or Sint, or Saint depending on where you live) is a Dutch dark comedy horror film where Santa is a disgusting, lipless, scar-faced ghost with a small army of “black petes” that come back every December 5th (with a full moon) to kill the shit out of everybody in Amsterdam. I didn’t get too many laughs out of this one, so I’m not sure where the ‘comedy’ comes in, but it was a decent enough film with some gore, a weird backstory and goofy English overdubs. My favorite part is that this Sinterklaas is actually the real Santa story but the one we grew up with is just a large conspiracy to cover up the truth. Saint Nick lops off some heads and stabs his way into our hearts every 23 years, which I think is the adequate amount of time required before a sequel should be allowed to drop. Parts of the movie felt a little forced but I didn’t hate it. Still, it should have been better. 6 explosive kamikaze boat attacks on Saint Nick’s ship out of 10.
