Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Sophie is flipping through the TV channels, she stops at an Sinterklaas-themed episode of the series Flodder (1993), which was based on a movie of the same name. Dick Maas created the movie, its two sequels and the series that was derived from it. Johnny Flodder was played in the first two movies by Huub Stapel, the same actor who plays Niklas in 'Sint'. Johnny Flodder in the series footage, however, is the late Coen van Vrijberghe de Coningh.
- GoofsFrom the conversation the Superintendent has with the Mayor (at the end of the film, when the amount of victims is being discussed, namely 300) it can be deducted that the Mayor, as head of Police, as well as the Superintendent were both well aware of the dangers of a rampaging Niklas and his servants on 5 December during a full moon recurring every 42 years. The Mayor highlights that Amsterdam had to learn to live with this event for centuries now. He says that one day it will stop, but not in their lifetimes. They had 42 years to prepare and yet no extra police were on duty, as most were celebrating the 5th December festivities. Also Goert Hoekstra's report was never considered as a possible solution to the Niklas problem and halfway the film the Superintendent even starts reading Goerts report as if he is aware of the Niklas problem for the very first time.

Featured review
It seems to me that most of the reviewers have missed the point. That there was none. This movie is simply out to entertain. It is not one of those kinds that depend on a chilling story or strong characters.(Although there were some sequences that were quite thrilling). It simply is a slasher movie based on a classic myth and still grand celebration in the Netherlands of the original St. Nicolas.Sinterklaas (OG Santa if you will).It is supposed to be over the top.Bad acting,bad dialog,not very likable characters,and lots of lots of (CGI) blood and gore. To expect more will surely lead to disappointment.Everybody familiar with Dick Maas previous work could have expected this. Since it is far from a stretch even when this production is more leaning towards a comedy.And his comedies weren't exactly of the subtle and clever kind. Maybe not completely on par with Dead Snow and Rare exports (which can be debated) it sure does provide the same amount of entertainment.
