The next day they find out Amanda has disappeared. Trent and his friends blame Jeremy since he was supposedly the last person to see her. But there are rumors it’s the Santa Slayer who died eighteen years earlier but somehow seems to be killing again.
Meanwhile Amanda’s father, the chief of police, thinks Jeremy and Minka are responsible for the murders and have kidnapped his daughter. Blaming them doesn’t make sense since a deputy pulled u to help their teacher who was being threatened by someone in a Santa suit and then Jeremy and Minka came running from the other direction.
Due to the student deaths, the school dance is cancelled. The students are bummed so Trent sends out a mass text about a party at his place. His girlfriend is still missing and there’ve been multiple deaths. So you’d think the kids would worry about being killed, but they hoot and holler because they just want to party. For some reason Jeremy and Minka go to this party, even though both are considered geeks and Trent previously wanted to beat up Jeremy because Amanda was missing. I would love if just once the geeks didn’t feel blessed to be included in the popular kids party and just blew it off. But since the final act is going to sum it all up, we’ve got to put them in this douchey party.
While this is a slasher, it’s fairly lightweight and appears made for teens. The main characters are likable, unlike so many recent horror movies. Jeremy and Minka are decent people and do well in school. And Minka is the stereotypical geeky girl we aren’t supposed to realize is attractive because she has glasses.

| The Santa Slayer is like a James Bond villain who wants to talk instead of making quick work of things. |
