Studiocanal has taken a fresh look at this twisted Christmas story, and it’s every bit as violent, shocking, and gleefully disturbing as fans could hope for.

The film follows Billy, a man forever haunted by the terrible memory of his parents’ murder at the hands of a killer dressed as Santa Claus. Years later, the trauma turns into something darker, and Billy dons the red suit himself, only this time he’s the one doling out the punishment.
The official synopsis reads: “A reimagining of the controversial 1984 cult horror classic (directed by Charles E. Sellier Jr.). When Billy witnesses the grisly murder of his parents on Christmas Eve at the hands of Santa Claus, he begins a lifelong mission to spread the fear of the holidays.
