Saint Nicholas is not the good-hearted children's friend as people think he is. In reality he is a cruel bloodthirsty bishop who, whenever there's a full moon on december 5, will try to slaughter as many children as possible. -- (C) Official Site

Critic Reviews
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
Saint has been infused with a plodding, hopelessly humorless sensibility that inevitably drains the viewer's interest and cements the movie's place as a missed opportunity of nigh epic proportions.
-
Dan Lybarger, KC Active
There are only so many times a person can watch Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer before going mad, but after a while, pointless gore isn't much fun either.
-
Philip Martin, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
...midnight movie fans have their ways of repurposing movies for their enjoyment. And I wouldn't want to get in the way of that.
-
Scott Weinberg, FEARnet
Has a cockeyed charm, some truly clever ideas, and more than enough energy to pull it all off. And it's really gory.
-
Anton Bitel, Little White Lies
Whether all these [genre] elements stack up into a compelling, or even interesting, whole is questionable, but they make for a strange chimney-top view of contemporary Holland, caught somewhere between myth and reality.
