Kagemas, Violent Night, a review

INTRODUCTION: So I love weird, especially something like this. Naturally, when I saw the trailer, I knew at some point I was going to watch and review this. I had a friend when I was younger and this is the type of shit we lived for, creating zany comics of stick figure men. A killer Santa would of had us both in theaters that very day. So I’m excited to have finally watch it.

PLOT: Santa found himself in the wrong house one Christmas Eve and becomes a reluctant hero.

CHARACTERS: Not very well developed, but who cares, Santa is killing mercs. Need I say more?

ACTING: Some really good performances, especially Beverly D’Angelo playing a bitch very well. John leguizamo is playing his best villain/gangster yet. The worse acting comes from Alex Hassell, whom emotes like a robot.

STYLE: Very beautiful. Nice use of color, crystal clear and clean.

DIALOGUE: Nothing cringe. Believable.

MUSIC: Forgettable.

CONCLUSION: For a movie that is Tim Allen’s Santa Clause mixed wit Die Hard, this really should not work. Plenty of fucked up Santa movies have been made. The 80s had Silent Night, Deadly Night, a Tales from the Crypt Episode and a movie called Christmas Evil, which I reviewed in 2019. The 90s didn’t have much in terms of bad Santa’s, other then Robo Santa from Futurama, but the 00’s did, with, you guessed it, Bad Santa. So a movie like this is relatively novel and it totally hits, even if it should not. I look forward to a sequel here.

3.5/5
