There were a lot of Christmas-centric titles that came out in the final stretch of the 2022 movie schedule, meaning there’s a good chance that you missed one or two of the major releases along the way. Everyone has long been able to watch new and recent movies streaming, like A Christmas Story Christmas, Spirited, and Falling for Christmas, but one of the biggest, and hardest-hitting, surprises of the year has yet to be added to one of the popular platforms, for now anyway.
In the very near future, the world will get a second chance to hang out, drink some milk, and kick some serious ass with David Harbour’s not-so-jolly St. Nick, as you will soon be able to watch the action-packed Christmas movie Violent Night streaming from the comfort of your home. Below is everything you need to know about the holiday movie that was a hit with critics and audiences alike late last year. Let’s open this present!

First, there’s Mike Reyes’ cheerful review of Violent Night (4 out of 5 stars), in which he made note of the way in which the movie offered a “fresh yet familiar take on St. Nick” that went beyond being edgy, and instead offered a lot of heart. Reyes also argued that Harbour’s portrayal of Santa made the whole movie work.
Next up is a breakdown of the Violent Night cast, which goes into each of the characters who lived and died in the movie, as well as where you’ve seen the actors before.
