aka Dial Code Santa Clausaka 3615 Pere Noel
Thomas lives in a mansion and spends his days pretending he's Rambo. The house has trap doors in the floor, secret passageways and secret rooms. There is also a command post in the attic.
After Thomas gets in an argument with a friend about whether Santa Claus is real or not, he sets up cameras throughout the mansion to catch footage of Santa who has told him he'll visit.
On Christmas Eve, Thomas is home with his partially blind grandfather while his mother works later. The family owns a department store and while parents do last minute shopping, the store provides entertainment for the kids.
Unfortunately this years Santa is a strange, creepy homeless guy who looks like an evil Zack Galifianakis. This is a man who connected with Thomas through a computer and pretended to be Santa. When Thomas wouldn't give him his address - since Santa should already know it - the psycho applied for the Santa job because Thomas mentioned his mom owned the store.
They must have been desperate for a Santa because this guy is really odd and not someone you'd want to bring around children. But this was the 80s, so I guess they weren't that careful about whose lap the kids sat on.
When Santa bitch slaps a little girl who is on his lap, Thomas's mother fires him. She stays late to do the books, and creepy Santa ends up at her house which is a real problem since he wants to kill Thomas and anyone who gets in his way. It's essentially Home Alone if the robbers were killers instead.
Listen for the Eye of the Tiger rip off which is so similar I'm surprised there wasn't a lawsuit over it.
