In foggy London town someone is offing all the Santa’s and it’s getting out of hand. This calls for Scotland Yard’s finest – Inspector Ian Harris (played by director Edward Purdom, best known by some as “The Dean” in Juan Piquer Simon’s PIECES) in a valiant effort to crack the case before it becomes the new holiday tradition. Harris teams up with a plucky reporter named Giles to get to the bottom of things like Kris Kringle dropping down a chimney.

A ghastly Christmas cavalcade of inventive and grisly death like your Santacon Massacre fantasy come to life but with less puke on the subway. Traditional giallo tropes and winks abound in this UK entry to our holiday festivities.
