Damn I hate not having IFC Midnight’s VOD outlet available on my cable provider. Might have to make switch here soon enough…

Two days ago we heard IFC’s Midnight shingle had scooped U.S. rights to Jon Kanuf’s THE SHRINE, and now it appears they’ve done the same for Dick Maas’ killer Santa flick SINT. Nothing but solid genre titles for the indie-channel…gotta love it!

While no exhibition date has been slated, SINT finds St. Niklas, a bishop fallen out of grace, travel in the middle ages with his gang of robbers and thieves through the countryside, raping, plundering and killing. When villagers take the law into their own hands and murder the bloodthirsty bishop and his thugs by setting the ship on which they travel ablaze, Niklas vows revenge. Now every time there is a full moon on December 5th, the date that he died, something that on average takes place every 36 years, St. Niklas and his helpers will rise from the dead and take revenge in a horrible way.

Huub Stapel, Egbert Jan Weeber, Caro Lenssen, Kees Boot, Frederik Brom, Madelief Blanken, Cynthia Abma, Joey van der Velden, Terrence Sinclair and Christopher Parren are all part of the picture.

Keep it here for a SINT release date.

Christmas indeed!
