A young boy watches his parents killed by a thief in a Santa suit. He spends his youth in an orphanage, staying quietly to his self, but his mind is further bent by an ironhanded Mother Superior.

Trivia
All the films' TV ads were immediately pulled off the networks because of the trailer showing Santa Claus carrying an ax, which practically depicted him as a mass murderer. This lead parents to protest the film and instantly got yanked out of theaters after making a profit with it's limited release. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: Following the murder of Ellie Chapman (Tara Buckman's character), she is shown one more time before the flash-forward to 1974, during which her heart can be seeing beating against her bare chest; even far more visible is the carotid pulse beating against the stage blood on her neck.
