Violent Night

Here's everything we know about the holiday crime-comedy Violent Night starring David Harbour, including the trailer, release info, and more.

From [Tim Allen’s The Santa Clause](https://collider.com/the-santa-clauses-trailer-plot-cast-release-date-and-everything-we-know-so-far/) to [Bad Santa](https://collider.com/tag/bad-santa/) and [Kurt Russell’s The Christmas Chronicles](https://collider.com/tag/the-christmas-chronicles/), we have seen Santa being not so nice all the time, but that's the exciting part of this kind of movie. As soon as he lands at the home of a little girl on that list, he finds himself surrounded by villainous people with weapons and is attacked. [Cam Gigandet](https://collider.com/violent-night-cast-cam-gigandet-edi-patterson/), Edi Patterson, and André Eriksen in various roles. But little did he expect his work to get interrupted by a bunch of goons, and make a bloody mess of his wonderfully planned night. You can expect to see him in his upcoming projects like [Gran Turismo](https://collider.com/david-harbour-cast-gran-turismo-movie-video-game-adaptation/), [Thunderbolts](https://collider.com/tag/thunderbolts/), and My Dentist’s Murder Trial, which he is also executive producing. Violent Night comes from 87North Productions, the same production company that made Nobody and Bullet Train, and is produced by [Tommy Wirkola](https://collider.com/tag/tommy-wirkola/), and written by Pat Casey and Josh Miller, Violent Night follows Santa Claus saving the day and Christmas from a group of mercenaries who attack the estate of a wealthy family. Coming this holiday season, [Violent Night](https://collider.com/david-harbour-cast-holiday-thriller-violent-night/) is a darker and thrilling (but humorous nevertheless) take on the joyful festival as a badass Father Christmas slays bad people. The [Stranger Things](https://collider.com/tag/stranger-things) star has featured in many action thrillers earlier, like Quantum of Solace, The Green Hornet, Suicide Squad, and the 2019 Hellboy, among many others in the same genre as well as in other genres. The trailer definitely proves that this action-comedy film is going to be full of action and thrill, making it a delicious, decadent, holiday treat! Although the clip more or less reveals the entire plot, the fun of the movie is going to be watching Harbour bringing out all his action skills while being the most lovable and adorable mythical figure possible.
