Great Film overall

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This Dutch horror movie is bad, but hilarious. The acting is poor, the dialogues cringe worthy at times and the Special effects are meh. Of course this was made on Dutch movie budget, not a Hollywood budget.However, I still found the movie enjoyable and fun. OK, it's not a great movie, the plot is thin and stuff is just weird and more laughable than scary. I am concerned about the international appeal though. The "Sinterklaas" tradition is typical Dutch and not very well known outside of it. Also the Dutch actors and language can be a deterrent for an international audience. If you are familiar with the tradition (that Santa Clause was even based on, look it up ;p) the evil twist is a fun one. All in all, good harmless fun but definitely not a must-see.

Well, I liked Sint, I have to say, but in the way you like a film that's about something killing people left and right. The kills, in fact, are one the best things about Sint. They are fun and sometimes goofy but at the same time rather nasty and violent. Sint is what I'd call a lighthearted, fun slasher to have a nice time to, it even has some stupid teens for the Saint to play with and a bit of dark comedy at children's' expense.I do find some things to like beyond that, but not many. The very first part is really nice. The looks are kind of tale-ish and there's plenty of violence. The teens later at the beginning were annoying and the humor around them too stupid, but they are just like an introductory filling and stop bothering soon, and then, well, things get going driven through a functional plot that only takes away from the good things this film has scattered here and there.Sint Niklas iconography is indeed rather creepy. He's portrayed as a red-clad bishop wielding a golden and murderous-looking crosier riding a horse and accompanied by a bunch of brutal minions to deliver a maximum of killing and kidnapping. The scenes involving kids are amongst the best ones when there's no much killing going on.I just can say I liked it but I had my problems with it, although nothing really serious. Just watch it and have fun.

In 1492 on December 5th during a full moon Saint Nick raids a town stealing children, we see his henchmen crawling down chimneys to get into homes, nice touch. Well the locals are having none of this and thus burn him and his boat to the ground. Every 32 yeas on December the 5th there is a full moon and ST Nick comes back for more children. ludicrous but yet great fun. The acting is great and the scenes well made. The set pieces are good with great gore deaths. The film is not quite sure what it wants to be. At first it looks like ST Nick is here for the children but then kills off a certain band of students. Is it a slasher flick? and why go for these particular teens? Then St Nick is galloping across rooftops mummy-like getting chased by the coppers. It all adds to the charm. Hopefully the next film will have more of a budget. Ride On

What I was expecting when I went into this movie was exactly what I got. Bad stuff vs. good stuff: There are somethings that are essential to the plot that are never explained, problems which could have been overcome with relative ease, so that was a bummer. Also, there are three main plots, and one of them, if it wasn't there I wouldn't miss it. Lastly, it is a short movie. This wouldn't be a point of criticism if it wasn't for the fact that it does tend to stretch itself out, like it was looking for feature length. The good stuff? It still is a lot of fun, being both original as well as something else compared to other St. Nicholas movies, the acting is good with most characters, the dialog is pretty solid, it's funny when it wants to be and scary when it needs to be. If you are into the St. Nocholas myth, you can't miss this one.
