Harry is traumatised as a child when he sees Santa and his mother engaged in some saucy action. As an older man he works in a toy factory and seems to have an obsession about Christmas. He spies on the local neighbourhood kids and records their behaviour in a naughty book. He is also bullied at work and becomes disillusioned at the cynical attitudes of his workmates. As the big day approaches he makes himself a Santa suit and embarks for a night of chaos. This is an odd slasher movie with a very sympathetic main character that I ended up rooting for despite his obvious insanity because everyone else in the film is horrible and probably deserves to die. It is actually played quite seriously and apart from the odd moment of unintentional humour it is quite a sad story.

Gore - fairly cheap with the odd nasty moment
