This film is like watermelon in the supermarket: bland, tasteless. Let’s see what is attractive to go and see restless nightthe horror comedy with David Harbor (stranger things).
Obviously, if Millie Bobby Brown had been called instead of the actor who plays Jim Hopper, the effect at the box office would have been different. But as far as is known, Santa Claus is a man.
Ah, because another of the necessary, almost indispensable things to see and/or understand restless nightis to believe in Santa Claus.
Harbor is Santa Claus, a boy who is taking a break in a café. He drinks like crazy, and when he crosses the sky with his sleigh and his eight reindeer, he vomits without worrying if he falls on the owner of the bar, who watched – entranced until then – the Lord of gifts.
Worse not to be confused – it is not violent night (as the original title says) a film in the Christmas spirit, or for children to see and enjoy. It’s tremendously gory, starting with Santa arriving to deliver presents to a mansion.
And there, the landlady, Gertrude (Beverly D’Angelo: the actress of Hair) receives his children and their families to celebrate Christmas Eve. Well, she’s not very loving, and besides having a mouth latrine, she doesn’t treat her relatives very well.
But to find out what it’s like to treat people badly, you have to wait for the thieves who want to take possession of a million dollars that would be kept in a vault in the very sophisticated villa to break in. And the answer of Santa Claus.
Because this Santa Claus has his own past history, he hasn’t always been good, and he has known how, in his centuries of trajectory, to use a bat. Yes, that tool to destroy or strike.
This.
Santa’s bag, with surprises
Norwegian director Tommy Wirkola, the same Dead Snow Y Hansel and Gretel witch hunters, starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton, puts some surprises in Santa’s bag. We have already said that it is not a film with a Christmas spirit, but more about the laughter of Christmas, of Santa Claus and also of classic stories and films.
Nothing bad, just what’s not left is ingenuity, and there’s an abundance of bodies bled, riddled, amputated, destroyed, and anything you can imagine that ends in two.
Port? Harbor doesn’t take his role too seriously or what he has to say and/or do -and how well he does it-. John Leguizamo, who was one of the diners at a couple of weeks ago The menuhe’s the thief who hates Christmas, but loves money more.
restless night a family disintegrates – pay attention to the verb – in which, when the potatoes burn, they show their misery. Or not. Maybe there’s a little Christmas spirit.
