My old post (a part of it) first:
I know that except me, noone on this site didn't watch it which is not your fault due to it's obscurity:

Because it's now finally avaliable as stream, give it a shot already! It's brilliant.
You might need VPN for Shudder, but it's nearly as annoying as importing hassle.
Never heard of this one, but thanks to news about it's "unban" from USA theaters I'm now eager to see it. Where… Nowhere most probably which means importing DVD from Russia (yes, they have it) or some asian online shops and then finding some silly fansubs, arrgh.
36.15 code Père Noël aka Game Over aka Dial Code Santa Claus (1989).

Nobody remembers? Right.The Insane Holiday Classic Nobody Remembers
This 1989 French thriller focuses on Thomas, a ten-year-old boy with a mullet so magnificent that it's an affront to God. Thomas is a kid genius straight out of … well, ever other movie from the '80s. He's also obsessed with action movies, as evidenced by the fact that he cosplays as Rambo before he's even had breakfast.
This is the first year Thomas is skeptical of Santa's existence, which leads him to try to contact Kris Kringle on "Minitel," a pre-internet French computer network. Because even this proto-internet is a toxic garbage place, he's somehow connected with a rando beardo creepo -- an idea writer/director Rene Manzor had after he tried to buy flowers for his mom on Minitel and was "accidentally connected to a sex chat room." (Yes. Accidentally. Sure.)
This information is partially wrong, except the french release, russia and asia also released it on optical media.While it was originally only in theaters for a week, Dial Code Santa Claus has become something of a cult phenomenon lately. While a 2017 restoration recently played at film festivals and rep theaters, it's unfortunately not on DVD or Blu-Ray outside of France. But as of this month, it's available to stream on Shudder. So if you watch only one movie about a child learning the true meaning of Christmas through shocking brutality, maybe give this one a try.
