It's just fun. If you like fun, go. Enjoy. If you don't, you suck. Stay home.

Exactly what I expected and more. David Harbour was excellent as Santa.

This is a Santa movie I never knew I wanted! I loved the heck out of this movie! It’s a mix of Home Alone and Nobody and it’s perfect! I do recommend leaving the kids home unless they can handle it

I didn't even see it I missed the movie

This movie will not be for all audiences, especially young ones and family expecting a Xmas story

It’s like if the kid in home alone was John Wick and Santa combined. Not a thinking person’s movie, come for the dumb humor and violence. Entertaining watch overall.

I loved this movie. It was funny, action packed and a fun twist on the subject of Santa Claus. David Harbour was cast perfectly for this role. This will be a Christmas movie for all time to me at least. Loved it!!

Great movie. Great cast. Leguizamo put off Montague vs Capulet angst. Sooo good. And who doesn't love Hopper?!? This is now my favorite Christmas movie. Soooo much fun.

Missing something to make this movie great. It’s just good. I’d say a 6 out of 10.

Yuletide Rambo, I freaking love this movie

Rambo meets Home Alone, R rated version.

Much better than I expected…

this is basically captain america vs iron man, naruto vs sasuke, harry potter vs voldemort, dinosaurs vs people, duel of the fates. epic saga of good vs evil. vampires vs werewolves

What an awesomely FESTIVE action packed ride! Was so surprised by how much actual Christmas heart and soul was put into this! it sounds weird to describe this movie as wholesome, but at it's core, it truly is! Me and my 11 year old were in tears! So much fun! Needless to say, the action was amazing, visuals are all stellar top notch, the cast is perfect, super entertaining, very funny. The COOLEST part is Santa's backstory !!! OMG, EPIC! I won't give anything away. GO. SEE. THIS. MOVIE!

Better than what I was expecting. A little bit of everything!! I would go see it again soon.

Pretty funny and got me in the Christmas spirit!

Loved it!!

Superb

This movie was a really fun Christmas comedy. It almost seemed like John Wick but with Santa and Christmas spirit. The jokes were original and I was laughing the entire time.

Truly hilarious can't wait to rewatch a little closer to Christmas

I sort of knew what to expect from the trailers I'd seen online, however, the movie was better than I expected. David Harbour was quite funny and I enjoyed his performance as Santa. First flick that had me laughing out loud multiple times! Definitely some holiday gore, but it can't all be tinsel and snowflakes, right?

This is one of my new Favorite Christmas movies with a perfect Rated R Home Alone Twist

Live this movie!

Definitely *violent* night 😂

A hallmark christmas movie mixed with Die Hard and a pinch of John Wick

This movie was funny and had action. Go see this movie.

beware of blood .. great action and comedy..so good!!

very funny and entertaining

It was awesome!

It was a good with a Christmas movie feel to it.

Enjoyed this movie!! I would reccommend!!

This movie is great it feels like a John Wick Christmas special.

Dragged for a bit but a fun family movie

I expected it to be kinda stupid, but ended up being absolutely amazing! Seriously cannot wait to see it again.

This “frightening” fantastic film of a violent Santa clause was nice to see and not your typical Christmas movie. It was action packed from the start, lots of laughs, and even a few heart warming moments. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was.

very funny Christmas movie, cheesy action but, it works with the whole movie being a parody of cheesy Christmas movies like home alone, and oddly die hard.

Stupid fun honestly, has a lil bit of everything for everyone. Except kids obviously lol

Not typical Christmas movie, but even bf enjoyed ! Santa kicked some serious --- !

I went to see it just for fun and it didn't disappoint. It has everything. Fun, sarcasm, violence, it's goofy, it was a great time.

wife said it was "cute"

Watched it for David Habour & John Leguizamo. Silly and fun.

Good time!

IT WAS GOOD I SAW IT TWICE!🙌🏾🙌🏾 I MAY SEE IT A THIRD TIME TONIGHT BECAUSE MY MOTHER HASN’T SEE IT YET!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

This movie was a fantastic surprise. Instantly one of my favorite Xmas movies.

Good movie but there is a lot F … B .. words not good for kids

It was very funny. Very action packed. A little bit too much borrowing from “Die Hard” ripoff to earn 5 stars, but still very good.

Pretty gruesome movie but it had a sense of humor.

The most violent, gory, heartfelt Christmas move of the year. Maybe.

this is the best new Christmas movie

Die Hard and Home Alone on steroids!! loved it.

Violent Night isn’t going to go down as a classic (although it may have cult classic potential) but, despite all the gore and violence and other R-rated material, it’s arguably less offensive than the kind of bilge proliferated by Netflix and Lifetime/Hallmark/etc. in the name of Holiday Cheer. There are certainly worse ways to spend a chilly December evening.

Now comes the gruesomely bloody, cheerfully tasteless, fantastically naughty and entertaining Christmas thriller Violent Night, which is basically “Die Hard” with candy canes in a mansion.
