A/V CLUB THEATER SPECIAL: 'DEADLY GAMES: DIAL CODE SANTA CLAUSE (1989)'
Mix John Wick with Home Alone and you have a little bit of what this 1989 French oddity has to offer. Predating both of those films, this one features a child prodigy who witnesses Santa murdering his beloved dog on Christmas Eve. What follows is a game of cat and mouse with over-the-top, well... everything. This movie is the holiday gift you didn't know you needed.
