Looks like someone has picked up on the “Evil Clown” concept and decided to try to morph it into “Evil Santa,” thereby knocking the legs out of another element of western culture.
Not surprisingly a movie produced by people who attach no significance to Christmas or it’s traditions, but see it as just another occasion to mock and make a buck.
No, not at all. There’s no doubt in either movie that Billy Bob’s character is not Santa. He’s a mall Santa in the first one, a bell ringer for a charity in the second. No part of western culture is losing a leg.
