Sint (2010)
Directed by Dick Maas
Sint is not a Christmas horror film, but a Dutch film based on the Sinterklaas traditions of the Netherlands. The Santa Claus we all know and love, the one who puts presents under our trees and in our stockings every year, is based on Sinterklaas. In the Netherlands, the feast day of Saint Nicholas is celebrated every year on December 6th (or the night before on December 5th, much like celebrating Christmas Eve on December 24th). Like Santa, Sinterklaas brings presents to good girls and boys. His helper, Zwarte Piet (or Black Peter), stuffs bad children in a sack and takes them to Spain.
