Whether all these [genre] elements stack up into a compelling, or even interesting, whole is questionable, but they make for a strange chimney-top view of contemporary Holland, caught somewhere between myth and reality. Go to Full Review

Accurately rehashes genre conventions, even if it chooses not to be the least bit scary. Go to Full Review

"Sint" might seem no different than a "Friday the 13th" part six, seven or eight. Nevertheless there is enough madcap enthusiasm, satire and artistry put into it to still make it a very fun movie. Go to Full Review

Saint has been infused with a plodding, hopelessly humorless sensibility that inevitably drains the viewer's interest and cements the movie's place as a missed opportunity of nigh epic proportions. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
There are only so many times a person can watch Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer before going mad, but after a while, pointless gore isn't much fun either. Go to Full Review

matthias s @Thescreenasvor 12/06/2024 **2.5 Stars** "Sint" is such a nostalgic trip for me—I used to watch it all the time as a kid, and it’s got that unmistakable Dick Maas vibe. The plot is solid, with an awesome twist on Saint Nicholas lore that I absolutely love. The design for Saint Nick is terrifying in the best way, and Huub Stapel is completely unrecognizable, which is super impressive. But let’s be real, the acting isn’t great, and the scares are more about the creepy atmosphere than actual jump-out-of-your-seat moments. I wish Maas had leaned into the gore a bit more; it feels like it’s holding back when it could’ve gone full-on brutal. That said, the eerie vibe and cool visuals really carry it. It’s not perfect, but it’s a decent little horror flick that’s fun to revisit if you’re in the mood for something dark and festive. Flawed, but memorable. See more 02/22/2021 I watched this with a group of friends. We immediately laughed so hard when we saw a name of an actor on the screen. This movie was so bad! But I mean... so bad! Typically Dutch. But... it's fun. Dumb fun. The kills are dumb asf and the humor is absolutely garbage. People who laughs at when a kid gets a dildo as present for Saint-Nicholas can't miss Saint. The ending... we all screamed. Not because it was scary... it was shocking. The persons who saw the film knows were I'm talking about... 😂 See more kyle c @kylekc 12/22/2020 This is, by all accounts, a bad movie. But sometimes it's bad enough that it can be pretty entertaining. The English dubbing is atrocious but I'm honestly not sure if that helped or hurt the experience. It does have some redeeming gore and there are a few times that the humor work pretty well, but for the most part, the dialogue is horrid, the CGI is laughable, and the plot itself doesn't really make any sense. This is a good one to make fun of with friends but keep your expectations very low. See more 09/16/2018 Don't expect clever writing and classy jokes. It's full of crass humor, violence and cliches to the point where it could be a Troma production. They're always hate/love types of movies depending on who watches it and Sint is no exception to that rule. I really liked it. See more 12/12/2016 This movie succeeds in one thing and one thing alone. Trying your patience. See more 01/20/2016 I had hopes for this one. At one time, Dick Maas was the man behind "The Lift" and "Amsterdamned" ... a promising genre director. A few decades and several bad films later, the promise is gone. Still ... this film was getting some attention and it sounded promising, so why not? Because it's awful, that's why not. After a decent opening that sets up the interesting premise, it devolves into unlikable characters getting unsuspensefully stalked and attacked by bad special effects. Nothing at all to see here ... move along. See more Read all reviews
