IFC Midnight Attains ‘Sint’hood

Published

I feel like I was just talking about how great IFC Midnight is and how they always manage to snag interesting stuff… Oh wait, I was.

After announcing their latest acquisition – The Shrine – earlier this week, IFC Midnight just revealed that they picked up the Santa Claus slasher Sint, which has its North American premiere tonight. This was one of my most anticipated film this year, so I’m glad someone who actually cares about their releases and has a good theatrical/VOD/DVD program bought it.

A Freddy Kruger-like Santa Claus returns every December 5 with zombie pirate henchmen to kidnap and murder Dutch children. What’s not to like here?

There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.

Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.

“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”

Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.

Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
