Tired of the looting and killing spree by a gang led by Niklas, the villagers attack and kill the gang. Since then, Niklas returns on a killing spree every 5 December when the moon is full.
This might be a story about a character resembling Father Christmas, but this time around you do NOT want him visiting you! If you want children to stop believing in Christmas magic, then simply let them watch 'Sint' (or Saint). That'll do the trick... (shame on me!)
Forty years ago Goert Hoekstra was the only survivor when his family was slaughtered by Niklas. Now a policeman, he warns of impending danger on full moon on 5 December. However, no one believes him.
Frank has just broken off with Sophie, and already has his eyes on Natasha. He serves as the film's protagonist, and I really enjoyed this character. On his way to play Sinterklaas in a play on the night of 5 December, him and two of his friends are viciously attacked by hideous creatures, and his friends killed. When he is apprehended by the police, they believe him to be the killer.
After a few close calls with Niklas, he is saved by Goert, the only man who believes him. Now, Frank and Goert teams up in an attempt to stop Niklas.
'Sint' is a beautifully filmed movie. It is also creepy, atmospheric and suspenseful. The film boasts great action sequences, and excellent practical effects and make-up. There are quiet a few fake jump scares, but then there are also many effective ones, keeping the viewer on the edge of the seat and glued to the screen.
The film builds to an action-packed finale. I really enjoyed this! This is a wonderfully entertaining and fast-paced film!
