Universal Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for the upcoming film Violent Night starring Stranger Things star David Harbour<\/a> \u2013 and it certainly looks like a bloody take on the festive hero.<\/p>\n

The movie sees a team of elite mercenaries breaking into a wealthy family compound on Christmas Eve, holding everyone inside hostage.<\/p>\n

However, they soon meet their match in an unlikely figure: that is, Harbour\u2019s Santa Claus<\/a>, who\u2019s not afraid to kick off the festive season with guns and gore if the latest trailer is anything to go by.<\/p>\n
