Overall: 

Saint is a surprisingly fun and enjoyable slasher that doesn't shy away from the gore and mayhem, but due to some bad decisions (not using the Bishop enough) and delivering an even worse climax, the film falls short in what could've been a great modern foreign slasher.

Saint (aka Sint) is a nice change of pace from the usual to come out of the Netherlands, and it’s a welcomed revisit to the cheesy slasher sub-genre that we’ve all grown to love. Filled with fun practical effects and over-the-top gory deaths, Saint could’ve been a great flick had they done more with its main villain and didn’t deliver such a poor climax.

Based on the highly celebrated Saint Nicholas Day (except in America), the film tells the legend of a bloodthirsty Bishop, who was burned to death by villagers several hundred years ago, and is said to return to the living whenever there’s a full moon on December 5th to seek revenge. Accompanied by his army of "Black Petes", the evil Bishop wreaks havoc among the local populous, kidnapping children and slashing through anyone who gets in his way.
