Violent Night (2022) | First-Time Reaction with Syntell & Rekkai

[@jamesa.fitzpatrick1566]

This was a good movie. And once I realized Grandma was Beverly D'Angelo? Chef's kiss!

[@josearroyo8008]

This movie was way better than i thought it it would be.

[@snvhill]

This one always surprises me with how well it works. On one hand it's purely B-movie violence but with some great thematic creativity. But on the other hand, it's a great example of Terry Pratchett's 'old gods do new jobs' line that somehow never forgets it's a Christmas movie. And they blend together! Somehow, by the end of it, a little girl going "skullcrusher!" in the same way that another Christmas movie would have her say "Santa!" or "Rudolph!" makes perfect sense.

[@charlesharry7901]

You think this b movie really

[@snvhill]

@@charlesharry7901 Definitely not, but you can't deny this level of graphic violence and gore owes more to that category than 'safer' options. (Plus, you know, the whole "Santa viciously murders a bunch of criminals who are robbing someone on Christmas Eve" elevator pitch.)

[@charlesharry7901]

@snvhill dude shut hell up why this b movie really not. Me and everybody else love this movie don't tell me not level it up

[@FosterTravis1071]

@@charlesharry7901 it WAS a B movie. There was no other way to describe it.

[@charlesharry7901]

@FosterTravis1071 you call B movie not everybody else doesn't

[@loober122]

Can't wait for the sequel

[@snorpenbass4196]

Santa's tats are mostly knotwork, which is a style popular among both Celtic and Germanic cultures.

[@johncannon7109]

This and bad Santa are my favorite Christmas movies

[@ValenAlder-it5ow]

The Home Alone sequence tho

[@SoTOreo]

wonder if they were inspired by corridor? they did an R rated home alone thing a few years before this came out

[@rockwellknuckles9425]

Instant Christmas Classic.

[@doctorpitt]

Better to learn disappointment early haha love it

[@vapoet]

Rudolph was definitely American. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was a promotional book published by Montgomery Ward, the department store. It was turned into the song 10 years later by the brother in law of the original author.

[@WarriorPoet01]

Much of OG “Santa” lore actually has Pagan roots. He’s an older Nordic tradition. This entity was combined with St. Nicolaus, which - with Coca Cola’s Santa, tuned into what we see, today.

[@ozzybloke-craig3690]

I’ve been sitting on this movie for so long. I saw you reacted to it so I decided to finally watch it. I just finished watching it. It was amazing. Brilliant writing. Had to come check this reaction out after watching it. ❤

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

Definitely among my favorite new Christmas movies.

[@monofishx]

Yours is my favorite reaction to this movie. By far.

[@tejida815]

I ❤❤❤❤❤ this movie. Thor Santa 🎅🔨🎄 🤞For a sequel.

[@bidwell13]

1:11:13 no it’s not cause he’s rich. He’s proving to his wife that the money doesn’t matter to him.

[@kenpatton8761]

FYI- ST Nicholas, aka Santa Claus, was from Myra Turkey(when the area was a part of Greece). He was an early Christian bishop, know for secretly gift-giving and performing miracles. The church of ST Nicholas is still in Myra (a ruin now). I accidentally found it while driving back to my base while stationed in Turkey while in the USAF. Happy Holidays……

[@thgeremilrivera-thorsen9556]

You guys *must* react to the Finnish twisted Christmas movie Rare Exports, it is SO GOOD!

[@evansmith9515]

You don't see Rudolph in Christmas movies because Rudolph is copyrighted.

[@nupefromdaville]

This is great!

[@laurakali6522]

There are many compounds like that in Greenwich CT. I live in Connecticut and cracked up when I saw this movie was set there. Judge Judy lived there for a while.

[@SoTOreo]

Connecticut baby.... #4 state in terms of income inequality.

[@laurakali6522]

@ Oh for sure. Surprised we aren’t number 1. Greenwich and the surrounding towns are very different from my little city.

[@WarriorPoet01]

Next up, watch FATMAN, with Mel Gibson and Walton Goggins. It predates the dark Christmas theme in this movie 😊

[@dominicaedwards8537]

This Red Guardian Christmas, may your candy canes be on point and your hammer well balanced. 😅

[@jenny_lee_87]

I first saw her in Hair movie. Would love a reaction to it.

[@BeinGabriel-bf2zm]

This Santa should be in Morta Kombat.

[@palmeristo]

He'd look awesome with all the thor looking tattoos

[@BeinGabriel-bf2zm]

@palmeristo yup, it's interesting that he mentioned he was a viking before becoming Santa.

[@TwistedSynn]

If you want some Christmas Questionable recommendations, I have three to think of aside from Die Hard. Nightmare Before Christmas, Rise of the Guardians, and Batman Returns which some people consider a Christmas movie for the same reason Die Hard is because it takes place around Christmas Time.

[@smilingphoenix]

This movie surprised me with how good it is.

[@charlesharry7901]

Wow. Everybody positive review two year ago about this

[@ethal1222]

Someone got tired of all the debating and just made Die Hard a full-on Christmas movie... And I love it!

[@SoTOreo]

yea christmas hits a bit different when your 43 and never been in a relationship. cant even imagine what its like to have someone special to spend holidays with. i stopped going to holidays with the family like 8 years ago because it was just even more depressing seeing everyone partnered up and even the nieces and nephews starting their own families soon

[@roborob4296]

ive always wondered if i had kids if i would want to let them believe in all the silly childhood stuff. santa is magical so robbing them of the fun of that fantasy for the early part of their life might suck but at the same time i kinda hate that we all grow up with our parents lying to us about all thse imaginary beings. like how do we ever trust adults after a childhood based on lies? lol

[@Guandilicious]

Childhood should be the time for magic, excitement, and fantasy. You have the whole rest of your adulthood to be jaded, bored, and miserable. I don't know if there's any science or studies behind it, but I would wager that the kids who believed in magical things were more likely to be creative than the kids who did not.

[@alucardbloodream2013]

well the thing is, there no such thing as the nuclear family anymore. wrapping presents, baking goods, making presents by hand. its all online shopping now, so in his eyes. the spirit of christmas is dead, because people just want. they never share or think about others

[@PS-zj1iu]

Hope you do review of Fresh starring Sebastian stan on Hulu.

[@redwolf6407]

Christmas is norse , it comes from people celebrating the winter solstice with fights and alchohol in norway which is close to the equator. Christians adopted the holiday and called it Christmas. The reindeer are female, cause male reindeer loose there antlers in the winter .

[@WarriorPoet01]

Hold up! In your Snatch review you called out the wasted ammo when that one guy worked the action on the shotgun - but nothing when Leguizamo does the same with his pistol? 😂😂

[@josearroyo8008]

Rakeai is correct why burn the money theres a burning shed right there.

[@BeboRulz]

@@josearroyo8008 and tons of hay! What a bunch of weinees

[@SoTOreo]

yea thats when they write something symbolic on paper but done consider the scene lol. sure the fires around us are going out..... except the actual burning structure.. and money would burn for what? 1 minute tops?

[@phtevenj]

the only thing i can see John Leguizamo as is Luigi from the Super Mario Bros movie from the 90s

[@damion984]

Wu-tang forever

[@BeinGabriel-bf2zm]

This Santa should be in Mortal Kombat.

[@craigcottrell944]

Where is he ment to be at the beggining

[@Biorythym]

It's not a woodchipper, it's a snow blower

[@tricepnm8590]

lol I couldn’t really get into this movie but love your content. Had to give you a view. Also yall watching and reviewing Cross on Amazon??

[@shabbirshaikh1614]

Syntell bro when are you react with jaby channel again?

[@Pride-zl2ew]

I have notice that a lot of reactors will watch at least one episode of something you want if paid and im done with the bullshit of waiting for potential polls in my favor or trying to get the word out so Syntell how much is it for you to watch 1 episode of the buyers choice?

[@BeinGabriel-bf2zm]

This Santa should be in Morta Kombat.
