Santa's

About This Movie

This film, set in the quaint town of Ashwood, brings a unique twist to the holiday genre. It's got that nostalgic feel, and the pacing isn’t rushed, allowing you to really soak in the atmosphere. David Filbert, as a father of two, faces the pressures of the holiday season, which makes for some relatable moments. The practical effects - particularly the depiction of Santa’s magic - are charming in their own right. The performances, while perhaps not standout, have a warm, genuine quality that lends itself to the overall tone. It feels like a cozy, small-town Christmas story, but with its own quirks that make it stand apart from more mainstream holiday fare. Worth a look for those who appreciate lesser-known holiday films.

Santa's is a bit of a rare find, with limited circulation on home video formats. It hasn’t seen many re-releases, making original copies sought after by collectors. Interest seems to be growing, likely due to its distinctive storytelling style and practical effects that harken back to classic filmmaking. While not mainstream, those who appreciate the charm of obscure holiday films often keep an eye out for this title.
