We ransacked the "Holiday Crime" section at Scarecrow Video and came up with three gritty, violent and most of all JOLLY thrillers for this most wonderful time of the year. Merry Christmas, dirtbag!

RIOT (1996, Joseph Merhi)
NAKED CITY: A KILLER CHRISTMAS (1998, Peter Bogdanovich)
'R XMAS (2001, Abel Ferrara)

FROZEN (2010, Adam Green)
ATM (2012, David Brooks)

Time to talk about some vigilantSHEs for a change! Three ladies pushed too far, who decide to arm themselves, learn krav maga and stick it to the men. It's in Revelations, people!
