Peacock now streams “Violent night”, the Christmas action movie starring David Harbour.
Tommy Wirkola directs the film, with a screenplay written by Pat Casey, Josh Miller and Pat Casey. The film is about Harbour’s sinister Santa Clause, who, instead of giving presents on Christmas Day to his children, drinks alcohol, pees off a sleigh, and then murders them. This is a genre-bending comedy that takes a fresh look at the holiday movie. It stars Harbour, who is well-known for his roles in “Stranger Things,” and “Black Widow’s Red Guardian.” You know it’s good.
“Christmas movies, like all Hollywood pulp, build on one another, and maybe this is just one more age-of-nothing-sacred holiday mish-mash, but ‘Violent Night,’ depending on how it performs, could open the door to a new kind of down-and-dirty Christmas/action hybrid,” wrote Variety chief film critic Owen Gleiberman in his review. Imagine hearing lines like “God bless us all, motherfucker!”
The film debuted in theaters in November and made $11.8 million in its first weekend. Although it was a good result for 87North, the film will be boosted by online streaming.
Peacock Premium costs $4.99/month, or $49.99/year to stream the film online. The premium subscription includes “Violent night” as well as access to all of Peacock’s films and shows such “Nope”, “Bros,” “Ticket To Paradise,” and “Minions: The Rise of Gru”.
