How is it that we don’t have a thread for this gem? I could’ve sworn I posted one. Perhaps it got cut during the Grand KFM crash of 2025.
This was astonishingly entertaining. David Leitch is a producer so the action is on point.
Imagine if the KFM forum remade Home Alone but swapped out Maculkin with Bawang as Santa, portrayed as a burnt out eternal warrior of Nordic decent whose favorite weapon was a hammer called skullcrusher. Imagine the rest of us hamming it up as villains. It’s gratuitous ultravi taken so extreme it’s funny (assuming you’re still got that blood and guts sense of humor).
What makes this work is that it’s also a heartwarming Xmas tale. It hits all the right notes - hits them with a sledgehammer so their skulls squish like melons.
There’s an early oner in a mansion as the servants prepare for a Xmas party. That’s a tip off that these filmmakers know how to move a camera. Then there’s the fights. So over the top. I have this distinctive giggle I get when I see a fresh take on ultravi - this turned into a full on belly laugh with one of the scenes involving a Xmas tree star. The choreo is spot on and very very sanguineous.
This is parsed by some classic Xmas movie schtick - the ol’ ‘do ya believe?’ trope. But it works surprisingly well - there’s just the right amount of Xmas magic to sell the true spirit of Xmas - which here is full auto.
Move over, A Christmas Carol. This is my new ‘must watch’ for every Xmas.
