Description

When his dysfunctional family clashes over the holidays, young Max is disillusioned and turns his back on Christmas. Little does he know, this lack of festive spirit has unleashed the wrath of Krampus: a demonic force of ancient evil intent on punishing non-believers. All hell breaks loose as beloved holiday icons take on a monstrous life of their own, laying siege to the fractured family's home and forcing them to fight for each other if they hope to survive. Featuring an ensemble cast that includes Adam Scott (TV’s Parks and Recreation), Toni Collette (Little Miss Sunshine), Allison Tolman (TV's Fargo) and David Koechner (Anchorman), this is a wonderfully dark and subversive "must-¬see film." –WEGOTTHISCOVERED.COM

You're expecting horror but what you get is a bunch of clichés, terrible jokes and jokes in general. Don't waste your time. The movie is a joke.

Waste of money!

This movie is a comedy that's not in the least bit interesting or scary in my opinion. The story is everywhere, the characters aren't interesting and the monster "Krampus" looks very much like a puppet. This movie is just...silly and boring with a plot that's all over the place

I really enjoyed this film but was expecting more of a comedy than I felt it delivered. The trailer had me sold that this would be more along the lines of Piranha 3D, but the actors/dialogue was a lot less campy and fun.

Excellent!

I went in thinking this was a horror movie, it's not at all. It's more of a kids better behave or else.... Another movie that the trailers looked great for but the movie was a huge letdown for me.

I think this is one of the best Christmas movies since national lampoons. The only thing they should have done is made krampus more demon like but other than that i loved this movie.

It was a weird movie... Which I kinda expected for there to be scary Santa Claus, idk what to say lol but basically it wasn't worth the watch, unless your high or drunk 😂😂😂

Overall just boring -- just my 2 cents

Okay so first of all it's PG13 so nothing really happens. In fact imagine when you were younger and you had make believe fights with your friends but no one actually got hurt. That's this movie. Personally I had been expecting more but the characters were just annoying, and since the violence wasn't very satisfying the movie really ended being a drag. In short the movie gets boring real fast if you're use to spooky/creepy/gory movies. I can't even recommend a rental.

AWESOME MOVIE

Well crafted and unexpected in this genre which has recently produced predictable trash. Well performed all around and although never scary, has a few thrills, a sense of humor, and old fashioned practical effects. Worth a rent.

This would be like an action comedy taking place in a Christmas time setting. Definitely not horror. I really enjoyed it and thought it was entertaining. I wasn't entirely clear about the ending however, but maybe that's just me. Good watch for sure either way.

I don't really know what to say or what I even expected. First of all it's definitely not a horror movie which is why I gave it 3 stars for being in the horror category. It's more of a fantasy/thriller kind of thing. Very very odd but I've seen much worse.

terrible- .99c rent but no other way

I am a German student in tenth grade (using my mother’s account to write this review)), so since Krampus was somewhat related to German culture I figured that my dad and I (my dad is a german teacher, has been to Germany several times, has taught german for over 30 years, and knows German culture very well) would go see it. I was not expecting it to be very good (maybe a one star) , but my father and I went into the theater with an open mind (Please know that my knowledge of German culture didn’t impact my overall review of the movie). The movie started out with a sick twist on the National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation with a family much like the one that intruded the Griswold’s. It proceeded with the youngest son of the host family not believing in the spirit of Christmas. The next day Krampus and his helpers reeked havoc on everyone in the house. It just keeps getting worse from there. There was little plot to go along with the pointless gore, swear words, and confusion of the movie. The script was poorly written in my opinion due to the lack of flow. The only scary part of the movie was the lack of good transitions in-between scenes. The overall horror aspect wasn’t good either. The scares were the same old boring jump scares that every other horror movie has. The movie never generated suspense, or made me feel fearful for a character. Other than the small theme of keeping the Christmas sprit alive (which was lost due to the blood, gore, and tone of the movie) there was no positive messages that came out of the movie. One thing I would like to clarify though for the general public. The legend of Krampus in this movie was not like it was in German or Austrian culture. According to the legend Krampus (who worked under St. Nicholas) would go around giving bad children beatings with a switch, kidnapping them, or even eating then depending on how bad they were. However he was under the control of Nicholas, and never had helpers. The Movie reflects German and Austrian culture very poorly, and viewers should not associate this movie with the traditional German and Austrian myths. I would highly not recommend to watch or buy Krampus. -Thomas Kerrigan (Abington Heights High School 10th Grade Student)

If you are 12 or under it may be appealing. The movie starts out OK then goes downhill fast. The supposed menacing creatures were actors wearing halloween masks and the only good CGI was the gingerbread men. Very low budget movie.

Let me just start by saying that the trailer is very misleading. I was fully expecting to see a classic horror Christmas movie and instead I got a catastrophe. Not only was it not funny, but the acting was terrible and there were no actual 'scary' parts to it at all. I was very confused that they movie turned out to be a 'comedy.' I honestly don't get how some people liked it. Krampus is about a family who are steering away from the true meaning of Christmas. A mysterious monster sets out to terrorize and destroy their Christmas.

I enjoyed the Film and gonna buy again

Before seeing this film, I was exposed to the concept of Krampus from Monsters cultural analysis class in UC Santa Cruz. I was intrigued by the idea because Krampus is Santa Claus’s friendly ally that does the work to rid of any naughty or non-believing people and makes Christmas feel more unified when Good and Evil work together to keep life in balance. When I saw the film, I was impressed that not only that they kept the ideas faithful, but also awed from the horribly monstrous and jaw-dropping takes on various toys and more animalistic-beast like variants of Krampus and his elves since they strongly evoke that unfamiliarity that leads to horror. I too agree with a few others about the ending being intentionally being open-ended since that ending should allow people who are critical and open-minded to connect this with the history of celebrating Christmas. Plus, since I am going to buy this, it would have a great deal of potential for making various video mash-ups.

Worth you while!!!!

Krampus equals comedy :p

I can tell a lot of time was put into making the monsters look real! I highly recommend this movie to any preteens who want to enjoy a good horror movie!

This movie had it’s scare moments, but it wasn’t in your face blood and gore. It was traditional classic campy 80’s style horror. The humor was there and wasn’t over the top either. This movie is for those that are into the folk lore of Krampus, that like christmas movies and horror movies, and who want to have an enjoyable film they can watch for many years to come.
If you go into this thinking mayhem of violence and scares, do not watch this movie. You’ll be sorry.

Creepy Christmas!

I am an old school horror nerd in the sense of creature design. There is CGI (computer graphics) in this movie but Im pretty sure there is some of that old school puppetry type stuff going on too. Just for the design and execution of all the monsters- that gets 5/5 stars! The story itself loses momentum at times and some of the themes of “hope” and “belief” are more artificial, weak, and very cliche. I also think the animated bit in the movie was very distracting and didnt really add anything special to the film. It seemed highly out of place. The ending is something I didnt see coming and I greatly appreciate the twist. Very dark and well deserved! There are great things about this film, and there are some parts that fell apart… either way, perfectly creepy Christmas story.

Entertaining!!!!

I fell in love with this movie before it even came out, for bringing true culture back to Christmas and trying to correct the sickeningly over-commercialized pile of sales the holiday has turned into here in America. I feared I wouldn’t like it because I went into the theater with such high expectations, but it turned out to be everything I hoped it would be: A lesson about what Christmas is supposed to mean and what really matters in life, showing a painfully American family learning to value life itself and each other even if they don’t get along very much. While the ending could have been better, I have to give it points for being ambiguous in that you can make it be a happy ending or an unhappy ending in your mind, there’s plenty of evidence either way - for a minute, I worried it would be an “it was all a dream” ending, but it was good enough not to do that, at least. I cannot wait for this pre-order to come in, I’ll watch it again and again - it’s definitely worth every penny.

Good Movie!

This is a very entertaining horror COMEDY. It's hilarious. One of the funniest movies I've seen. It's not very scary per se, as the concept is too weird, but it provides some good jump scenes. From the beginning (a glorious slo-mo scene of people fighting for Christmas deals) to an amazing end, this movie is packed with thrills and excitement. My only complaint is that the end felt very rushed. It was a duex ex machina in a way. But overall, great movie, very fun. Definitely watch, this will be a "watch every Christmas" for me along with elf and Christmas Vacation.
