In the poster, a bruised and bloodied Harbour appears to be smoking a candy cane while sporting a greying beard and Santa\u2019s iconic hat.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">You Better Watch Out. <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ViolentNight?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">#ViolentNight<\/a> <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/t.co\/pVIo6OH8GU&quot;\">pic.twitter.com\/pVIo6OH8GU<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Violent Night Movie (@ViolentNight) <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/ViolentNight\/status\/1570064899497398272?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;\">September 14, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;\" charset=\"&quot;utf-8&quot;\"\/><p>Perhaps rather unsurprisingly, judging by the poster, the film will be R-rated. It will follow a wealthy family whose home is invaded by mercenaries on Christmas Eve \u2013 but who will stop them, you ask? Why Santa himself, of course. Its premier date is set for December this year.<\/p>\n<p>Violent Night is directed by Tommy Wirkola and penned by Sonic the Hedgehog writers Pat Casey and Josh Miller.<\/p>\n<p>Joining Harbour on the casting front are John Leguizamo (Romeo + Juliet, John Wick), Alex Hassell (His Dark Materials), Alexis Louder (The Tomorrow War), Edi Patterson (Knives Out), Cam Gigandet (Never Back Down), Andr\u00e9 Eriksen (The Trip) and Beverly D\u2019Angelo (Insatiable).<\/p> <p><strong>Violent Night will be released in cinemas on Friday 2nd December 2022.
