What happens

3615 code Père Noël ([tʁɑ̃t.sis kɛ̃z kɔd pɛʁ nɔ.ɛl], "3615 code Father Christmas", referring to a Minitel dialing number; also known as Deadly Games, Dial Code Santa Claus, Game Over, and Hide and Freak) is a 1989 French Christmas action horror film written and directed by René Manzor. It is noted for its similarities to the 1990 American film Home Alone, the makers of which Manzor once threatened with legal action on the grounds of plagiarism, alleging they "remade my movie."
