The premise

Ricky Caldwell, the notorious 'Killer Santa Claus', awakens from a six-year coma after being kept alive on life-support by a slightly crazed doctor experimenting with ESP and other special abilities. Ricky targets a young, clairvoyant blind woman, named Laura, whom is traveling with her brother Chris, and his girlfriend Jerri to their grandmother's house for Christmas Eve, and Ricky decides to go after her, leaving a trail of dead bodies in his wake.

Horror Vault's take

The infamous Killer Santa Claus returns after years in a coma, reawakened through questionable ESP experiments conducted by an obsessive doctor. A young blind woman with clairvoyant abilities finds herself inexplicably linked to the killer as she travels with family to spend Christmas with her grandmother. What begins as a holiday road trip gradually transforms into a terrifying game of cat-and-mouse with a relentless, seemingly unstoppable predator. Bill Moseley brings an eerie physical presence to the iconic villain in this psychic-tinged continuation of the franchise.
