“Santa Jaws” is a quirky mix of horror and Christmas comedy that was released in 2018. The film tells the story of Cody, a young cartoonist who inadvertently creates a bloodthirsty Christmas shark called “Santa Jaws” after his Christmas comic comes to life with an innocent wish.
The story unfolds in the tranquil seaside town of Port City, where Cody and his family are spending the festive season. When Cody accidentally brings his self-drawn comic character “Santa Jaws” to life with an innocent wish to be alone, the festive Christmas season quickly spirals out of control. The dangerous shark begins to slip out of the pages of the comic and terrorises the inhabitants of the town. Cody and his friends must now do everything in their power to stop the bloody Christmas creature and save the festivities.
What makes “Santa Jaws” special are the absurd and ludicrous elements that are built into the plot. The makers of the film clearly had fun pushing the boundaries of the bizarre. One of the most absurd scenes is certainly where the shark is given a magical unicorn in the shape of a candy cane, which it uses to spear one of the victims.
