Saint (Sint)
Stars: Huub Stapel, Egbert Jan Weeber, Caro Lenssen, Bert Luppes | Written and Directed by Dick Maas
Ah Christmas, a time for getting together with family and loved ones, sharing gifts, enjoying a good meal and getting slaughtered by an evil St. Nicholas… Wait, hold on. That last one doesn’t sound right. Getting slaughtered at Christmas and not in the good (drunk) sense of the word? That doesn’t happen right? But wait, I forgot, this is the movies – if there’s a holiday that can be exploited by a serial killing psycho it will be!
Valentines Day (My Bloody Valentine), New Years Day (New Year’s Evil), even birthdays (Bloody Birthday), filmmakers really know how to spoil the festivities. Christmas is no different, we’ve had films such as Black Christmas, Christmas Evil, and Silent Night, Deadly Night and its sequels, but all those films have seen...

The films of cult Dutch director Dick Maas are as notorious for their difficulty to see as for their often graphic depictions of murder and mayhem. Released today on DVD, his latest effort Saint (2010) - starring Huub Stapel, Bert Luppes and Egbert Jan Weeber - gives a new and murderous twist to the seasonal legend of St Nicholas. CineVue caught up with the director, and discovered that some of his personal views can be as controversial as his films.

★★★★☆ If you have any experience of Dutch director Dick Maas' previous work, you will most likely have been eagerly anticipating his latest schlocker Saint (2010). If, however, this is the first time you have heard his name, his homage to 1980s slasher films - starring Huub Stapel, Bert Luppes and Egbert Jan Weeber - is as good an introduction as any to this individualistic filmmaker's take on the slice 'n' dice genre.

Director/writer: Dick Maas.
Cast: Huub Stapel, Egbert Jan Weeber and Caro Lenssen.
Release Date: 31 October 2011.
Holiday gift giving can't come any sooner than in Sint, and no, Halloween is not the season being referred to. December 5th is a big day celebrated in parts of Europe in honour of the real Saint Nicholas, where he drops off gifts to children and everyone praises him for his generosity.
In the Netherlands, however, that has a different take. A meaner Saint will ravage the city on December 5th when there is a full moon. This monstrosity only appears about once every 32 years. In the past, this bishop is behaved very much like King John from Robin Hood, where he is out to rob from the poor. He made a decree where he would take a high amount of penance and taxes from the citizens.
On the very same night, the townspeople...

The Christmas-themed horror film Saint Nick, formerly Saint, is getting a DVD release on December 20, 2011 from Mpi.
St. Niklas, a bishop fallen out of grace, travels in the middle ages with his gang of robbers and thieves through the countryside, raping, plundering and killing. When villagers take the law into their own hands and murder the bloodthirsty bishop and his thugs by setting the ship on which they travel ablaze, Niklas vows revenge. Now every time there is a full moon on December 5th, the date that he died, something that on average takes place every 36 years, St. Niklas and his helpers will rise from the dead and take revenge in a horrible way.
Full of creative yuletide horror, Sint is a fun chiller that follows local teen Frank as he sets out on a bloody, high-energy battle to save Amsterdam from the wrathful “Sinterklaas” and his minions. It’s...

Dick Maas’ yuletide slasher Sint (review here) stirred up quite a bit of controversy when it was released in its home country, the Netherlands. Just looking at the DVD artwork with the new Americanized title I fully expect to hear about some angry American parents after they mistakenly pick this one up for their kiddies.
IFC Films gave Sint a very limited theatrical and VOD release in the Us recently. The DVD being distributed by Mpi will arrive on DVD shelves just a few days prior to Christmas on December 20th under the new title Saint Nick.
As you can see from the American DVD artwork, it doesn’t fully spell it out for viewers that this is a violent slasher movie about a psychopathic bishop who returns from the netherworld every December 5th when there’s a full moon to hack and slash and send his black-faced minions, the Black Petes,...

While Rare Exports stole the majority of the Yuletide terrors attention (and rightly so), we're also big fans of the Santa slasher flick Sint (Saint), if only for the Black Peters. Man, that sounded weird. In any event three new clips are waiting for you! Dig 'em!
Be sure to catch Saint in select theaters, via cable VOD and on SundanceNOW!
Also dig on the official Sint website for additional info and then "like" Sint on Facebook.

Slasher movies are awesome. And while I find that the vast majority of new ones leave a lot to be desired when compared to their superior 80s counterparts, I'm always glad to see someone take a, ahem, stab at creating something new.

St. Niklas Weapon in HandSint means Saint in English and this is the title for a new Dutch film, which puts a vengeful bishop front and center in a new horror movie. In fact, there is a new trailer for this European export and in the clip, the deceased bishop St. Niklas comes back to life for one night only. This night is December 5th and this is a time for revenge, bloodlust, and murderous consecration, as villagers struggle to stay alive. Watch the clip inside until the film comes to North America.
