Our killer Santa now wears a plastic mask under his hat and beard, and his backstory is a little less horrifying than the one from the original film, although only in that it does not include rape. On Christmas Eve in a small town, he goes on his merry rampage, seemingly targeting lowlifes, pornographers, and others that make the holidays look cheap. Local cop Aubrey Bradimore (Jaime King) and Sheriff Cooper (Malcolm McDowell) try to track him down. Donal Logue plays a very cynical Santa who tries to tell kids the "truth" about Christmas, and becomes an early suspect.
Director Steven C. Miller and writer Jayson Rothwell use the festive, small town setting to wonderful advantage, using colored lights whenever possible to puncture and contaminate the darkness. But overall, their slasher film doesn't particularly go anywhere or do anything that any other slasher film (including the five previous Silent Night, Deadly Night movies) has before it. The characters never really pop, and none of the slayings really shock. It's kind of a chilly experience, and forgotten not long after it's over.
