WATCH: Predator vs. Santa Claus is the violent cartoon you need in your life this Christmas

Rory Cashin

santa v predator

Two minutes of glorious (and gore-ious) festive action!

Released back in September of this year, The Predator found the writer/director of Iron Man 3, Lethal Weapon and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang attempt to breath new life into the stalling franchise.

We were big fans of how violent the movie was, and while it didn’t set the world on fire in terms of box office ($160 million worldwide, from a $88 million budget), maybe it will receive a larger audience now that it has been released on Blu-Ray and DVD for home viewing.

As part of that release, one of the bonus features is the following short movie, which pits the Predator against Santa Clause, his reindeer, and his elves.

Anyone who is a fan of the Christmas schmaltz levels being taken down a peg or two will absolutely love this, and it is surprising just how big an ass-kicker some of Santa’s reindeer actually turn out to be!

Just to reiterate, it is quite violent, so maybe don’t show this to anyone with a sensitive disposition:
