I watched this movie when got interested in Christmas horrors. Short: it's the worst Christmas horror movie I watched so far. It's stupid, it's flat, it's unfunny, it's not even vulgar. It's not "so bad it's good" it's just absolutely dead stall. It's like Uwe Boll without Uwe Boll. While the Christmas setting is so rich ground for horror/comedy ideas this movie however manages to be so dull. I don't know which is worse: script, actor's play, dialogues or music. But altogether this mix comes as a pathetic cocktail of boredom and damp clichés. The funny thing – it made me interested in other Dick Maas movies, are they that bad too?

Storywise "Sint" is kind of a rip-off of the killer Santa classic "Silent Night, Deadly Night", but the comparisons end there. While the latter is only still around because it's laughably bad, this one has actual redeeming features like a dark, moody atmosphere and a little bit of humour at exactly the right times. Writer/Director Dick Maas loves to toy with our expectations and every guess you'll make about the story developments will probably be wrong. For instance, you think tremendous hottie Caro Lenssen will serve as the Laurie Strode of this story and the finale will be her fighting off the unstoppable villain, but in fact she barely comes into play in the rest of the story (unfortunately...). Our final girls are an old drunk and a sex-crazed teenage boy, that's pretty creative to say the least. The production values of this movie are also surprisingly high. For a movie that "only" cost four million to make, the effects look pretty amazing. The killings are just relentlessly gory, Dick Maas definitely burned the candle on both ends to disgust his audience. "Sint" is one of those rare horror comedies that manage to be both scary and funny, most can't even get one of the two right. A thrilling ride.

I'm not quite sure what to say here. The story is terrible and absurd, and is not funny at all. The acting is horrendous and laughable. The special effects are so bad that a high schooler could probably do better. Plot holes litter the entire film. It is truly difficult to watch more than 20 minutes into this movie. It was free on fearnet so I figured I would give it a chance, but I just wasted 2 hours of my life on this garbage. Maybe the makers intended this to be some sort of comedy, but it isn't funny. At all. I urge you to steer clear of this heap of rubble and watch something else instead- maybe even a documentary. Anything is better than this.

In an era of the successful Grindhouse revivals, The Asylum and the increasingly crazy J-spolitations, it would appear that schlock is on the rise...but "Saint" makes us remember that not all purposefully silly B- movies can be thoroughly entertaining. When over-the-top gore, crazy characters, hilarious dialog and preposterous plots are what make these movies work, "Saint" only nails the preposterous plot, concerning a murderous, zombified St. Nic going on a killing spree through Amsterdam. Typing this out, it sounds like it should be great fun but the fact is that "Saint" is not gory or funny enough to be a successful B-movie.
