The dog dying really raises the stakes right out of the gate. It's clear that the killer Santa is deranged, he's confirmed to have killed at least one person before he shows up in Thomas's house, but as soon as he kills the dog all bets are off. The viewer isn't sure from that moment on how far the movie will go or how many more will die, and it doesn't let up until the conclusion. I appreciate how the movie is both tense and terrifying but never shows too much. We see some aftermath but never any on-screen violence, and all the main characters survive. The dog's death is shocking and sad, but otherwise you could show this to older kids without much of a problem. It's a shame this movie never got the audience it deserved during its initial release.
