Excellent but underrated film

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Or not. Actually not would be better for the Krampus, right? Otherwise there wouldn't be stuff to do if everyone was good. But I derive, probably because I don't really know what to say here. So yeah it tries to be a horror movie (it also tries to create a monster via CGI, failing badly or "bigly" as someone who is president somewhere has said more than once).As you can tell it does not succeed. It does have occasional nudity in it, if that is your thing or not. Though if you look for reasons not to watch it, the brief nudity aspect of it shouldn't really matter. Acting-wise I've seen worse, but this still is in the bottom ... Do not engage is probably the best thing to do ...

You know it's been a while since I cried. This movie changed that. But these were not tears of joy or even sadness. These were tears of WTF. The acting was enough to make me want the Krampus to get me instead. That raises another issue in the movie. Who the f*** says "Kram-puss" it's "Krum-pus". Even the second way of pronouncing it may be debatable but it's definitely not Kram-puss. The camera work reminded me of a home made movie I would make with my friends in my backyard at the age of 12, and I would think it was really good. The scenes were so bad and cringey I was laughing the entire time because it was so unbelievably stupid. The detective's bald melon head was shinier and brighter than my future. I mean dear God, it was like staring into the sun. The little girl was just annoying. And not to mention her initial foster parents, the druggie and the weird car washer...wtf. The only scenes they were in were totally unnecessary and all I could see was the bouncing of boobs and trust me even the horniest of the straight guys would be overwhelmed. I don't know who the dipshit is who gave this movie a 9, but I think they need to re-evaluate their life and seek professional help. The Krampus himself looked like he was made of cardboard. A 6 year old cosplayer could do better. This entire disgrace of a movie deserves to be burned for it's crimes against the eyes of everyone who's had the misfortune of seeing it. To wrap this up, I can only say, don't. If you have ever loved yourself or anyone you may be wanting to watch this with, just don't. No one deserves to have to watch this. Now if you'll excuse me I have to wash the shame off my eyeballs.

In short, this movie is bad. I stopped watching pretty quickly. Maybe someone might like it but I've seen a ton of movies, and I've never disliked a movie so fast before. It's just dumb how they expose Krampus so quickly and so many times. The way he attacks people or just how the story goes it's just really bad and dumb to me I'm sorry. Just don't waste your time on this movie. I made an account just because I wanted to warn people. I think if they put more time into it, and worked on it a little more it could be better but I don't know just the way they present everything is poor. The acting is also pretty bad. I'm sorry it's just a bad movie. A lot of us work a lot of hours. We barely ever have time for a movie, and when we do we expect the time we finally have to watch a movie for the movie to be worth it. This movie wasted that time of mine, and I just had to let people know how I felt.

There is little positive to say about this movie apart from that they tried. There was certainly some thought put into the story, despite it also looking to be a desperate cash in on the Krampus name so close to the release of the studio produced film.Besides this however there is only negatives as the writing and acting of this film are atrocious. To make matters worse the film makers clearly do not know how to make a small budget work for them. It helps to have some interesting characters who can fill time with fun dialogue, as well as a bit of flesh thrown in for distraction. However here the dialogue is terribly boring and goes on for far too long without the right pace and editing to make it engaging, and while a little flesh is a good tease, just sticking in some sex for no reason is far too cheap and only serves to highlight the lack of substance that they had to work with.Overall this movie has nothing to offer apart from a passable idea for what could have been a decent story with more money and expertise behind the project. The main killer for this movie has to be the pace as it is just so, so painfully dull that it takes it away from the 'so bad that its funny' realm and puts it in the 'why am I even bothering to watch this' category. Avoid.
