After a modest box office opening and relatively positive critical response for Violent Night, it has been confirmed that a sequel, Violent Night 2 is on the way. Directed by Tommy Wirkola, the pulpy low-budget David Harbour project sees a band of mercenaries battle with Santa Claus (Harbour), when they take a wealthy family hostage. With its tongue-in-cheek action and abundant references to previous Christmas movies, Violent Night delivered an entirely new experience that still packed in a lot of holiday fun.
