Taking a likable character and making them into something evil just doesn't work. Killer Christ! The easter bunny form hell! Kindegarten killer! These all ring stupid. This has no chance...

Uh... Monty Python and the Holy Grail had a killer bunny.
Also, Santa Claus hasn't ALWAYS been a likable character, you know. The original interpretation of the Santa was in fact Odin, the chief god of Norse mythology - you know, that fellow who hung speared from an ash tree for three days just to obtain knowledge? The Christmas tradition was originally attributed to the Wild Hunt, a midwinter hunt that Odin led in the night sky on Sleipnir (flying eight-legged horse). It's believed that if a human witnessed the Wild Hunt, he was going to die soon.

I love this movie! I believe it's based on the folklore of the Krampus http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/12/131217-krampus-christm as-santa-devil/. I would love a remake as everyone I've tried to show it to was weirded out by the nudity. A American remake would probably put something on the elves.
It DID work, and it's a masterpiece. Anyone who voted less than a 7 for this movie has no taste!
Well the movie obviously worked, and aside from being a good movie, it's actually my favorite Christmas movie ever. Got to break it out every for the holiday. Kindergarten Killer sounds interesting too though. Would that be like a kindergarten teacher who murders his classmates? A twisted mind, you have.
