When the monsters from the original Deadtime (1999) infest the steam tunnels beneath a mall on the night leading up to the biggest shopping day of the year, an exhausted mall Santa and a computer-savvy teenager must do everything they can to contain the creatures. This straight-to-video sequel has neither the clever satire nor the budget of the original, but does have a (somewhat heavy-handed) message about the folly of violence that has aged better than its special effects.
