The 2025 film is a darkly comic and highly anticipated slasher that updates the controversial 1984 cult classic, centering on the severely traumatized Billy Chapman, who is played by actor Rohan Campbell (known for Halloween Ends). As a young boy, Billy witnesses the brutal murder of his parents by a man dressed as Santa Claus. This event instills in him a deeply broken psyche and a twisted lifelong mission: every Christmas, Billy dons the iconic red suit and embarks on a bloody, axe-wielding rampage to deliver his own form of "punishment" to those he judges as wicked. This film leans into the high-gore tradition of holiday horror while introducing a dark, comedic element to the killer Santa premise.
The film distinguishes itself from previous iterations by giving Billy a complex foil in the form of Pamela Varo, a young woman who works at a local Christmas shop and is played by actress Ruby Modine (Happy Death Day). As Billy arrives in a new town, his schedule of holiday violence collides with an unexpected chance for a normal life when he is drawn to Pamela, a person with her own volatile and troubled past. She challenges him to confront his inner demons and the homicidal voices guiding him. This dynamic adds an unexpected element of dark romance and psychological tension to the slasher formula, balancing the shocking violence with a character-driven look at trauma and redemption.
