Uh, this Christmas Focus is releasing VIOLENT NIGHT, in which David Harbor plays Santa Claus who helps rescue a hostage family.
He swings a hammer, stabs people with ornaments, etc. Think Nobody+Die Hard+Santa Claus. Looks manic and delicious. #CinemaCon

“What about a movie that makes you sweat? …And I play in it as a fucking Santa Claus?? asks VIOLENT NIGHT star David Harbour. It’s basically DIE HARD with Santa as John McClane. I’m starting to think I’m hallucinating on some of these movies. #CinemaCon pic.twitter.com/4OeS83s5XG

VIOLENT NIGHT gets a big reaction from the crowd. It looks a bit like ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER, except with Santa instead of Honest Abe and a group of mercenaries instead of vampires. Harbor seems to understand the mission. Harmless (and bloody) holiday fun.
