Well, I liked Sint, I have to say, but in the way you like a film that's about something killing people left and right. The kills, in fact, are one the best things about Sint. They are fun and sometimes goofy but at the same time rather nasty and violent. Sint is what I'd call a lighthearted, fun slasher to have a nice time to, it even has some stupid teens for the Saint to play with and a bit of dark comedy at children's' expense.
I do find some things to like beyond that, but not many. The very first part is really nice. The looks are kind of tale-ish and there's plenty of violence. The teens later at the beginning were annoying and the humor around them too stupid, but they are just like an introductory filling and stop bothering soon, and then, well, things get going driven through a functional plot that only takes away from the good things this film has scattered here and there.
Sint Niklas iconography is indeed rather creepy. He's portrayed as a red-clad bishop wielding a golden and murderous-looking crosier riding a horse and accompanied by a bunch of brutal minions to deliver a maximum of killing and kidnapping. The scenes involving kids are amongst the best ones when there's no much killing going on.
I just can say I liked it but I had my problems with it, although nothing really serious. Just watch it and have fun.
