Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

MikesIDhasbeentaken this was fun enough if your after a Christmas horror movie,I think this is actually one if not the only movie I'd say could be made better with a sequel (not remake!) I think the idea here is quite good, and everything is well done looks good, might be wrong but it seemed that the makers planned an ending that involved a troll hunter type fight \chase scene but didn't have the budget or time so the actual ending seemed forced and rushed.also I thought the mane kid in it was really annoying, not sure if he was meant to be but he was really bad.

bowmanblue I didn't know what to expect from this - it had a reasonable bit of exposure for a foreign film (yes, it has subtitles), but I couldn't quite figure out what it was about.It's basically a horror film from Finland. However, horror films generally yield to certain clichés allowing you to guess what's going to happen from the start. Here's the newsflash - this one will keep you guessing as to where the story's heading.It's got a bit of black humour, but it's basically the alternative to all those cutesie Disney movies where children sit on a smiling Santa's knee.Russian businessmen have dug up 'the real' Santa Claus. Guess what, soon they wish they hadn't.Overall, it's a great little gem, however the first half is pretty slow. The second half picks up a lot and is worth the wait. If you fancy something a little different that's very dark and can put up with the subtitles, give this one a try (just don't show it to your small child - it'll scar them for life).http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

Callum Assinder A creepy tale about Santa Claus, a demon-like horned creature that spanks children who are naughty to death and who apparently also eats raw meat. During the movie they showed great illustrative depictions of Santa which was a little bit of a let down when they find the real Santa, a creepy and skinny old man. Later it is unraveled that this is actually one of his many elves who are hellbent on protecting their boss (also explains how "Santa" can be in more than one place at once) The real Santa is a huge horned creature encased in an enormous ice block prison. My only issue is that you don't get to see the real Santa in action whatsoever, this may well be due to the budget of the movie, it also annoyed me how easy they managed to do away with him. But all in all, a very original title with a lot of great things going for it! Finding a decent stream of this in English was hard work but definitely worth the time. Will probably watch with friends at some point in the near future :)

A_Different_Drummer Some films, even really good films, are like a broken-in pair of jeans, comfy and familiar. In fact, according to psychologists it is the repetitive themes in our favourite films that generate the voltage in our brains which in turn produce the serotonin that makes us enjoy the film experience. OK, you got me, I apologize for the science lesson. But that is the only way I can explain this film which comes literally out of nowhere (Scandanavia?) and begins with the makings of a typical X-mas movie, but before you know it, you are watching a bunch of pleasant everyday people treat old Santa like he just escaped from a Freddy or Jason set. And best of all the movie is slick. Before you even have a chance to start doubting the messages that your eyes are sending to your brain, the director whisks you off into this fantasy and, in spite of the lack of familiarity (see above treatise), the synapses start to spark and the movie becomes good clean fun. And totally unforgettable. (FACTOID: the image of fat Santa in the red suit has no basis in anything. He was drawn that way for a series of Coke ads at the turn of the 20th century, and, heaven protect us from ourselves, that image became iconic and mythic. Personally I prefer the Finnish version.)
