A darkly comedic slasher that weaponizes Christmas cheer against itself, following a Santa-hating killer through London with gore and gallows humor.

It's just days before Christmas in London, but not everyone is full of good cheer - as a maniac with a pathological hatred of Santa Claus stalks the streets, butchering any man that’s unlucky enough to be wandering around dressed as Old Saint Nick.
