MichaelMRamey I really enjoyed this film. At first I wasn't sure how I should rate Krampus, but after thinking about it, I realized it was pretty damn good. A Christmas Horror hybrid you expect the worst, but this film has one hell of a cast and I thoroughly enjoyed my viewings of it. I may have to watch it again come Christmas time.

Agent Unprejudiced This movie did a good story-statement because many people had not heard of this evil demonic christmas creature the acting is good and this movie has a real balance thumbs up

sunsphxsuns Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, have always been my favorite holidays. In addition to great food, and family time, it is also a time when filmophiles can guiltlessly gorge on a panoply of holiday films. Truthfully, not all holiday cinema is great, but Michael Dougherty's Krampus hits on all cylinders, beginning with the sentimental, passing on to humorously engaging, and carefully rising up to terrific horror. Dougherty's previous Halloween movie, Trick 'r Treat, had quickly become one of my favorite films, not only thematically, but because there was so much attention to detail. Krampus shares the same painstaking, beautifully filmed scenes so reminiscent of the late and wonderful writer/director John Hughes (Home Alone, Uncle Buck, Planes, Trains and Automobiles). And it is this very detailed focus that skillfully draws you into the film, locking you into the story and its various characters. Dougherty's vision of Krampus blends some of the darker Austrian and German supernatural fables with our more contemporary idea of a delightful Coca Cola Santa Claus. But Krampus isn't here to reward good children, indeed, he's arrived to punish the naughty ones. As in Trick 'r Treat, Dougherty has assembled a stellar cast, and an accomplished team to bring Krampus to life. And it is so much more than a "slasher" flick. Krampus glows in its own horrific nature, an embodiment of all that is good and bad when families get together to celebrate the holidays.To reveal anymore of this wonderful film would spoil the fun you'll have watching it for the first time. Rent the DVD or BR and enjoy the beautiful photography, the perfect cast, the great soundtrack, and above all, know that this is surely just the beginning of Michael Dougherty's amazing career as a filmmaker. Michael, if you're reading this, PLEASE don't make us wait too long for Trick 'r Treat 2, OK?
