Deleted and Extended Scenes (1080p, 19:02 total runtime): Included are Family Arrives at the Mansion, Jason and Linda in It's Christmas at the Lightstone mansion and a troubling family reunion is about to get all the more interesting when several armed brutal but not exceedingly gory, teetering on over the top considering the merging of various bloody images and humorous undercurrents. And despite a grim and too on the nose opening (that somehow sees Bristol have a skyline of a modern day American urban metropolis), Wirkola, together with Pat Casey and Josh Miller on script duties, conjured up a wonderfully fun, sweary and bloody little gem. The violence is incredibly graphic but always shot through with a twisted sense of humour, every bloody denouement somehow eliciting a little squeal of naughty delight as all manner of bodily carnage is brought beautifully to life. Its also very funny, drawing on a wealth of knowing influences, including other beloved Christmas films (the Home Alone sequence is genuinely guffaw inducing, while even repeating one of the all-time classic twist reveals of a well known Bruce Willis Christmas banger still manages to surprise), while not afraid to satirise so much of the modern world and its increasing distance from the spirit of Christmas (Beverly D’Angelo as the matriarch of the family could give Brian Cox and his own dysfunctional unit a run for their money). Santa’s Helpers: The Making Of Violent Night– Tommy Wirkola and David Leitch have reunited for another madcap, violent fairytale with heart in Violent Night. This making-of will celebrate their spirited reunion as well as the other little helpers.

sufficiently crisp, ditto various environments inside the house. Low light exteriors don't offer much intense visual characteristics, but the image handles And so, this really is a film that should be approached more as the second type of Christmas film, than the first…a film to (almost) watch with the kiddies after the tree and decorations have been put up, while the Baileys and Toffifee are settling nicely in the now extended gullet and everyone actually feels caught in the warm glow of the encroaching holiday period. while the second is the Christmas film that has the high concept genre film bolted onto it, where the traditional Christmas tone, vibe, message and yes, cute as a button kids and warm messages of kindness and good cheer are spread via its slightly sanded down genre edges (almost any other Christmas film aimed not just at tiny moppets)…and here is where their sole purpose is to get the viewer into the festive spirit. Quarrelin' Kringle (1080p, 3:45): Casting David Harbour for the specific qualities he brought to the film and the character he portrays.When it comes to Christmas Genre Films, there are really only two types…and both come with their own set of expectations… Much like those two movies, the pacing can drag a bit in between the heavier action beats, which are no doubt high-octane and full of red liquid. But in Violent Night'salmost two-hour run time, the story of the family issues and even some of Santa's past can be a bit uneven. There are some fun action moments, especially when Santa is getting beat up, but overcomes everyone with some blunt-force trauma each time. If the film kept its pace as it runs in the last 15 or so minutes, Violent Night would be the perfect action movie. Performances from everyone including a hammed-up John Leguizamo are entertaining and Harbour's performance as Santa is just the right amount of charm and brutality for this universe. whatever it can muster within its Santa suit because the plot is otherwise entirely tiresome and derivative. This is certainly a movie made entirely

low light well enough. Colors in such situations are limited, too, but inside in well-lit rooms viewers will appreciate attention to tonal detail. The image is Surround steerage is precise and at tomes fun, including the overheads, yet the mix at times isn’t as active in these speakers as you might want it to be. Not a problem with the transfer, just the original mix itself…I wanted as much mayhem in my overheads and rears as was being meted out on screen!Plot: What’s it about? Video: How’s it look? Audio: How’s it sound? Supplements: What are the extras? The Bottom Line Plot: What’s it about? traditional Satna Claus stories and antics. Perhaps the most popular take on Santa beyond traditional confines is Bad Santa (forget the bad list sequel), which is in some ways an apt comparison because this Santa is also a name for itself. Santa, here, largely fights the criminal element with a sledgehammer and turns into a Christmas version of Thor, but with more blood. The film is violent but not grimly so, the film, it rarely reaches beyond the point of troublesome annoyance. The image is free of any other serious source or encode issues. The image is

Violent Night won’t be everyone’s preference as a Christmas confection, but for anyone who includes films like Die Hard, Bad Santa, or The Ref on their list of holiday classics, it should be a welcome addition. It’s impossible to know what kind of legs that any particular film will have, but I suspect that Violent Night will join Die Hard as a topic of Christmas conversations for many decades to come. The two of them will certainly make a hell of a double bill for holiday season movie nights. (Hmm, now there’s an idea...) The North American market is often a little advanced compared to the UK for home entertainment, but it will probably be a similar picture for the early access release date. The DVD and Blu-ray should be a little earlier though, so you might get this in the US towards the end of February or early March 2023. Nobody has seen Santa Claus like this before as he is portrayed by the great Sheriff in Stranger ThingsDavid Harbour, where the night of Christmas Eve is upon everyone, he is seen drinking heavily at a bar and throwing up on civilians from above in his sleigh. The Christmas magic has been taken out of him, because like in Elf, people just don't believe in him anymore.

The movie is blood-soaked and nonsensical, but it should satisfy bloodthirsty audiences looking for something Quarrelin’ Kringle – Cast and crew relay why David Harbour is the perfect brawler for this combative rendition of Santa. individual dressed like Santa, as a murdering maniac. Here, maybe the difference is that this is the real Santa who doesn't just distribute safe. It just so happens that the tables turn when Santa arrives. He's armed with not only a magical bag of presents but also a sledgehammer and So a crowd-pleasing, modern-day symphony of crude language, rich music and explosive sound effects that is just shy of greatness in its original mix.
