action

Santa Claus, Father Christmas, is actually the son of Satan who spread fear and terror until he made a bet with an angel. Santa and the angel played a forerunner of today's curling against each other and when Santa lost, he had to bring joy to people for 1000 years and bring them Christmas presents. Now the 1000 years have passed and Santa lets his demonic nature run free again.

With his flying sleigh he leaves the North Pole to start a bloody Christmas campaign. In the small US town of Hell, he begins to brutally slaughter all people who stand in his way. The police are completely helpless and incompetent and fall victim to Santa himself. Teenage boy Nicholas learns from his grandfather what Santa and the bet are all about. Soon Santa tries to kill Nicholas, his grandfather and his girlfriend Mary as well. Since Santa only has his power on Christmas Day, the three must try to escape the nasty demon for the remaining hours. The grandfather has made arrangements for his grandson to escape, but is killed by Santa.

Nicholas and Mary flee through town on a snowmobile, pursued by Santa, who takes Pastor Timmons, disguised as Santa Claus, under his control. Finally, the two young people hide in school, where Santa tracks them down. In the school's ice rink, the demon is about to kill the two teenagers when Nicholas' deceased grandfather suddenly appears. As it turns out, he's the angel Santa lost to a thousand years ago. The angel had given up his immortality to start a family. Santa and the angel play curling again, but Santa does not want to lose again and tries to destroy the angel. The teenagers save the angel, but he has to leave the pursuit of the demon to his grandson and Mary, but Nicholas promises to stay close at all times.

As Santa is already very weak shortly before the end of Christmas Day, Nicholas and Mary manage to shoot down the flying sledge with the help of Mary's father and brother, two gun fools. The bloodthirsty draft animal of Santa and Pastor Timmons are killed, but Santa escapes and returns to the North Pole, but has to take a plane.

Nicholas later moves to the United Arab Emirates , where Christmas is not celebrated.

criticism

Christoph Petersen writes on filmstarts.de : “The 80 minutes are absolutely harmless and pointless, more reminiscent of a failed Sunday afternoon RTL family comedy than a juicy splatter comedy. So memories of the Hulk-Hogan vehicle Santa Claus with Muckies come up, not only because of the cast of WWE wrestling star Bill Goldberg as bloodthirsty Santa and the similar topic, but also because of the acute lack of ideas.
