Cheers for the heads up.
Bit of a blunder that for a movie aimed at kids.

Felt nostalgic last year and watched The Gremlins with the kids. Some significant nods in that film too and we didn't notice them as kids.

Violent Night is a bit of a mind fcuk as even though Santa is real in the movie the father of the main kid says that he isn't real and that they have been leaving presents instead of Santa at Christmas time because he doesn't exist. It's kind of left open that Santa only leaves presents to those who are on the nice list in which that kid's parents weren't on when they were kids.  Bit of explaining to do but then again young kids shouldn't be watching this film as it is quite violent as per the title. Hopper from Stranger Things is good as Santa.

It's been a while since I've watched Bad Santa. Does it give up the secret?

[screenexile]

Watched Miracle on 34th Street recently and its basic premise is that we have no proof that god is real but we know he is... ditto for Santa!

Eldest is 9 so had plenty of questions and I think we batted them away well enough but it was annoying to have to!

[Jell 0 Biafra]

Should be asking questions at 9, so maybe the movie did its job?

Character tells a story and ends it by saying "And that's how I found out that there is no Santa Claus"

No one who isn't at least a teen should be watching that film.

I'll never listen to the Bryan Adams Christmas song the same way again after the scene of Santa and his sledgehammer taking out that team of mercenaries!

I think there was an angle too that he only delivered to believers.

Fun film!

Oh, I  never picked up  on that , and I would have been  a believer when  I first seen it

Mrs Deagle always  scared me more than the gremlins did  as a youngster
