☆ ‘Violent Night’ Review: Santa’s Merry Massacre
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-02 | by ( Kyle Smith | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

In the gleefully crass comedy “Violent Night,” Santa is real, but also really naughty. “Violent Night” might as well be called “John McClaus.”Combining “Bad Santa” with “Die Hard”—tra-la-la-la-la meets yippee-ki-yay—is such a knockout idea that it’s a shame “Violent Night” isn’t better. “Bad Santa” (2003) might be the funniest Christmas movie of all time, and “Die Hard” (1988) is one of the few ’80s action flicks that people still talk about. There are many smart comic ideas in “Violent Night,” but they are scattered unevenly throughout, the villains are dull, and most of the imaginative energy goes into devising spectacularly gory murders involving the distressingly off-label use of Christmas paraphernalia. The unabashedly tasteless midnight movies of the ’70s and ’80s that inspired this one understood the value of keeping things tight.

☆ 'Violent Night' review: David Harbour delivers the goods by putting Santa Claus in 'Die Hard' mode
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-02 | by ( Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

CNN —The idea of a nasty Christmas movie is nothing new, but “Violent Night” still manages to deliver the goods, mixing “Die Hard” and “Rambo”-style action with a fair amount of hokey ho-ho-hokum. David Harbour makes a particularly good cranky, butt-kicking Santa, in a movie that offers the sort of shared experience that should bring theaters some much-needed cheer. Still, pulling off that combination of over-the-top violence, goofy comedy and (in this case) Hallmark-style meaning-of-Christmas stuff is a pretty formidable challenge, and while the setting proves slightly claustrophobic, “Violent Night” mostly overcomes it. That might not be the formula for a fun-for-the-whole-family holiday perennial, but to its credit, those sitting through “Violent Night” should rarely stay silent for long. “Violent Night” premieres December 2 in US theaters.
