‘Violent Night’ Trailer: David Harbour Is An Ass-Kicking Santa In This Violent Christmas Action Film

Have you ever watched Christmas movies and thought, “Damn, there isn’t enough violence and death in this?” Well, if so, you’re going to be delighted by “Violent Night.” 

As seen in the trailer for “Violent Night,” the film tells the story of a young girl who is excited about Christmas. But things get thrown for a loop when a group of bad guys break into her home and take her family hostage because they’re apparently sitting on a vault worth $300 million. Thankfully, Santa Claus is coming to town…and he’s not going to let the bad guys get away with this. That’s when Santa starts beating the living hell out of the people who have a place on his naughty list. Despite the ridiculous premise, fans of top-tier action films have to be a little bit excited based on the fact that 87North, the production company behind “Nobody,” “John Wick,” “Atomic Blonde,” “Deadpool 2,” and “Bullet Train” are working on this film.
