Brandon Maggart, in a bravura performance, is a middle-aged factory manager scarred by a childhood episode with his father in a Santa suit. Obsessed with all-things Santa, one Christmas he literally becomes Santa, taking toys to an orphanage or dancing at a party with children. However, there is a dark side to this Santa: he also takes out his frustrations at work with an inexplicable and uncontrollable rage. Maggart is simply astounding, evoking both sympathy and revulsion, in a Christmas movie unlike any other. Better known under its video title Christmas Evil, but the original on-screen title is more apropos.
