And we used to think only John Wick got angry after they killed his dog. Wait till u bump into lil Thomas.
I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs. Revisited it recently with my 7 year ol nephew since he wanted to meet a Santa n my wife didn't allow me to take him to the malls due to Covid. I thot why not scare the idea of meeting Santa for time being.
This film inspired many films. Home Alone, The Aggression Scale n the latest Becky.
Many fellas r unnecessary comparing it with Home Alone. This movie came before Home Alone. And jus because it has a Christmas theme, many fellas r associating Die Hard with this film.
In fact, Tales from the Crypt s1e2, All thru the House fits the similarities.
Coming back to this film - A mentally unstable bum with a penchant for playing with kids gets a job as a Santa at a department store but is fired from it after the manager witnesses him slap a child who had accused him of not being the real Santa. The bum hitches a ride to the manager's home in the back of a delivery van n kills the driver upon reaching the secluded and high-tech mansion wher only the manager's diabetic and partially blind father, a pet dog n the manager's 10 year old kid is present.
The bicycle scene gave me chills when i first saw this as a teen. The film has a very serious n gloomy tone. A kid at peril still scares me.
The film has lovely cinematography n proper feel of a holiday season.
A minor goof which my 7 year old nephew pointed out while we were watching last night. When the killer attacks the car in the garage, the kid is shown exiting n running but my nephew asked me how was the grandpop able to exit out.
