The Christmas Movie We Need! This film is brilliant and exactly the kind of Christmas movie I needed to watch this year- it's just the right amount of dark, twisted humor combined with action, romance, and revenge. The sets are fantastic, the production design is genius, the writing is solid, the direction is spot on and the acting is wonderful. I also really enjoyed the fresh and interesting take on Santa's elves. This film is definitely going to become a staple in the Christmas film rotation for me alongside a Christmas Story, Bad Santa, Elf and It's a Wonderful Life.
