The holiday spirit is starting to fade away slowly. So, if you want to rejuvenate the Christmassy mood, a matinee fiesta streaming Violent Nights is the way to go!
Starring David Harbour as Santa Clause, the film portrays the dark side of Christmas. Santa is bored of his run-of-the-mill job of giving gifts to good children on Christmas Eve. And an opportunity presents itself in the most unanticipated way.
Santa walks in on a wealthy family taken hostage by criminals. He takes it upon himself to rescue the family and save little Trudy, who has contacted him through her little walkie-talkie.
Peacock has recently announced that Violent Nights will be streaming on the platform for anyone who wishes to relive their Christmas days. Read the tweet below:
The film has released with all its extended scenes, deleted scenes, and bonus content. Now, viewers who might’ve missed the film’s theatrical run can stream it in the comfort of their homes.
The monthly subscription of Peacock Premium costs just $4.99, and the yearly package throws ten bucks off the total and costs $49.99 only.
What makes Violent Night stand out from other Christmas thrillers is the portrayal of Santa Clause. While movies like Christmas Bloody Christmas, Silent Night, or Deadly Night show villains disguised as Santa who wreaks havoc, Violent Nights uses David Harbour as the real Santa Claus.
The film also shows Santa as an action hero, killing only those naughty people who are sabotaging little Trudy’s family.
Moreover, Santa’s character is portrayed uniquely. He is so bored with his work that he does it now while drunk.
This adds many layers to his character and humanizes him to a large extent. Santa isn’t just a robotic gift delivery guy; monotony can also get to him!
Because of such a unique take on holiday-themed action movies, Violent Nights has garnered appreciation from both critics and audiences.
There are already plans for a sequel, and we might see even more Christmas-themed characters next year, which will further expand the Violent Nights universe.
So, without further ado, start streaming it now!
