Made in the Netherlands, this story is based on the tale of St. Nicholas, who visits the homes of good boys and girls and gives them presents. But the film provides a twist where good old St. Nick shows up every 32 years on the night of the full moon, not to reward the good children, but to murder the bad ones.
In 1492, after pillaging a town, St. Nick is burned to death by the surviving villagers. Legend has it that he appears with the full moon on December 5th, along with his army of Black Peter's to take revenge.
Goert, a policeman, warns of the danger and wants to shut down the local festival. But no one will listen. Goert knows the legend is true as his family was killed by St. Nick when he was a child. He's waited thirty two years for the next full moon to face
When a teenager is blamed for killing his girlfriend after she broke up with him, Goert is the only one who will believe his story of St. Nick. The two work together to fight St. Nick and the Black Peters.
It's a pretty good Christmas horror flick. St. Nick has a burned face and rides over roof tops on his ghost horse.
