Violent Night

In Bristol, England, Santa Claus is drinking in a pub disappointed with the children's behavior at Christmas. In Connecticut, Jason Lightstone and his ex-wife Linda go with their daughter Trudy to the mansion of his wealthy and powerful mother Gertrude Lightstone to spend Christmas night with her and her ambitious sister Alva, her boyfriend, the wannabe actor Morgan Steel, and her son Bert. Meanwhile, the drunken Santa Claus arrives at the house, sits on a massage chair, drinks whiskey and sleeps. Almost at the same time, a group of mercenaries under the command of Scrooge arrive at the estate, kills of the security guards and employees and take the Lightstone family hostage. He knows details of Gertrude and wants the three-hundred thousand dollars that she has in her vault. When the mercenary Tinsel shoots the ceiling, Santa Claus' reindeer flee from the roof with his sleigh. Santa Claus reacts, and Tinsel is impaled on a hanging ice pushed by Santa Claus. Without any option to leave the estate, Santa Claus decides to rescue Trudy and the Lightstone family from the criminals and recalls when he was the warrior "Nicomund the Red" more than 1,100 years ago with his Skullcrash Hammer. Meanwhile, Gertrude is calm believing that her rescue team is coming to help her. Soon they arrive and she has a big surprise.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
