Editorial Reviews
An original and delightfully gruesome slasher film, Saint reimagines jolly old Saint Nick as a bloodthirsty bishop fulfilling a grisly prophecy every 32 years under the Christmas full moon. The film's titular saint was in fact a murderous medieval marauder, ultimately slain by the villagers he tormented, only to swear a ghostly revenge on their descendents every December 5 the anniversary of his death. Centuries later, the story has settled comfortably into innocuous folklore, until a bloody encounter with the ghoul himself forces local teen Frank to believe in Santa all over again. Teaming up with a fellow believer, discharged conspiracy-theorist cop Goert, it will be up to Frank to save the city of Amsterdam in an all-out bloody battle against the wrathful "Sinterklaas" and his minions. Dick Maas, the director of classic Dutch horror films The Lift and Amsterdamned, delivers a fun chiller full of creative yuletide horror played out across the decked halls (and roofs) of snowy Amsterdam justly earning Saint's spectacle of thrills, chills, and kills the title of highest grossing Dutch film of the year.

I just purchased this from Amazon. Too bad it arrived right after Christmas cuz I was wanting to view it before then. When I did get to see it with a friend, we were both pleasently surprised to how good it was. It wasn't the greatest film, but so much better than all the other Christmas type horror films that were released, with the exception of Silent Night, Deadly Night 1-5 (I liked those). If you want a decent entertaining holiday horror to watch, then this is the one for you. None of the other Christmas ones were any good, especially Slaughter Claus (STAY FAR AWAY FROM SLAUGHTER CLAUS!!!!!). SLAUGHTER CLAUS ON DVD IS AWFUL! I SOLD IT RIGHT AFTER VIEWING IT!

Here in the "States" we have Jason Vorhees, Michael Meyers, and Freddy Kruger as our "never-can-be-killed" maniacs. Now it's time for you to be introduced to Amsterdam's main nemisis: Saint Nick.
This movie is so enjoyable because it doesn't take itself seriously. The story is based on the legend of Saint Nick and his evil men robbing, pillaging, and murdering since 1492. I thought that date was intruiging because that is also the date Columbus set sail for America, but I digress. Anyway, after Saint Nick and his "Black Petes" have caused quite an uproar in the village, they head back for their ship. However, the townspeople are one step ahead of them, sitting fire to the ship and supposedly killing all that's aboard. Flash-forward 476 years (nudge, nudge; wink, wink), and the boys are back in town killing all but one in a family, who witnesses the slaughter, and goes on to become a detective with a vow to make sure this never happens again. This is where it got a little confusing: St. Nick was supposed to come back on the full moon of December 5 every 32 years. Well, one "date changer" on films states "40 years later," and you can see about St. Nick's visits after the first time he ran amok! That took 476 years. Make up your minds already!
That aside, I still enjoyed this. It tried (and fairly succeeded) to be original, the gore wasn't over the top--but it's THERE--and there was just enough comic relief to make this a rather enjoyable pony ride! Unrated for gore and language, I will recommend it. Oh, but, if you want to enjoy the movie more, watch it with subtitles. The "dubbed" version is awful! I'm looking forward to Part 2 because, well, there just HAS to be a part 2!

Staint Nick is scary movie about who we think should be a generous gift giving man. When you need a little distraction from all the fluff and commercially driven hype that englufs us for all of November and December this brings a little bit of much needed Holloween terror for your viewing pleasure. We play it every year at Christmas. Fun stuff, not for the kids under 10.
