- TriviaIn a 2022 interview, Tommy Wirkola spoke about referencing Home Alone (1990): "Obviously when I was a kid I loved Home Alone (1990), but as you get older you think, 'Oh they would DIE if you did those things to them', so that was basically the approach to the scene. All right, let's just do traps very similar to Home Alone (1990) and let's just see what it does to a human being, and I think what makes it so funny as well is that the little girl, she doesn't realize she's hurting them. She just thinks she's doing like the movie, 'Ah, this is fun and games!'

Featured review
Simply put this movie is Die Hard mixed with The Santa Clause mixed with Home Alone (Macaulay Culkin would be proud). It's an enjoyable romp and should be included in any action movie fan's Christmas playlist. Sure there's some questionable content. I've noticed that directors love putting David Harbour in red, but he suited the role, and the teeny tiny bit of an origin story was, well, interesting. I'd love to see that made into an origin movie.
But, like I said, if you're an Christmas action movie person, who enjoyed Die Hard and consider it a Christmas movie, Violent Night is a good addition to your yearly play list.
