UK Premiere

Director Dick Maas. Starring Huub Stapel, Egbert-Jan Weeber, Caro Lenssen, Bert Luppes, Escha Tanihatu,The Netherlands 2010, 85 mins.

Dick Maas borrowed heavily from 70s horror for his breakout hit THE LIFT. Then he brought the American action thriller home in AMSTERDAMMED. Now he magically blends those with grim fairytales for his latest bloody blockbuster. It’s December 5th: time for the Saint Nicolas festivities to commence in earnest. Student Frank and friends prepare to party, dressed up as the legendary Saint and his little helpers, the Black Peters. But the real centuries’ old Saint Nick was a sadistic killer, a rogue bishop-turned-pirate, burnt to death by vigilantes, who returns from Hell for vengeful slaughter whenever there’s a full moon. And the Black Peters were really charcoal-encrusted zombies. No one believes the fable, of course. But then a medieval schooner is spotted sailing towards Amsterdam harbour and a sudden wave of shocking murders begins… Frank is about to get closely acquainted with a very nasty bogeyman indeed.

In Dutch with English subtitles.
