We went to see Sint yesterday because we knew Maas' previous movies were pretty good. Also it is one of the most talked about movies in the Netherlands because of the controversial poster. Imagine a poster of a zombie Santa posted on a billboard in front of a Toys 'r Us. Well you get the picture.
So, we expected a lot from this movie, and maybe that's what clouded our opinion. But nevertheless, we were bored throughout the entire movie. The scare effects were the best part about it, but they were all shown in the trailer so you knew when something was going to happen. So watch the trailer and save some money. 'Cause when you've seen the trailer, you've seen it all.
The only good actor was Huub Stapel, but he didn't have any lines and he was unrecognizable. The other actors... mwah. Seems like they spent more money on special effects than on getting good actors. The idea behind the movie is very original, but Maas' could've done so much more interesting things with it.
To sum up. Don't go see this movie! If you really want to see it, wait until it comes out on DVD and one of your barbaric friends decides to buy a copy. Then borrow it from him. For the money we spent on this movie we could've had a really nice dinner. Juicy steak, nice bottle of wine. Heck, even dining at McDonalds would have been more satisfying than watching this.
