84/100

An unholy, demented, furious delight. From beginning to end, this vicious little fucker of a film wraps its characters into a tightly-knit bow of Christmas terror, and its sustained tension shines through with playful goofiness and understated human focus. While many were expecting (and probably hoping) for a broader parody of Christmastime cliches, director Michael Dougherty aims and hits his mark of something much more sardonic.

The opening sequence, set to the tune of "It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas" and featuring colorful consumerism in all its slow-motion glory, is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to a specific type of hilarity, one that joyfully dives into the realm of the acidic. It's a…

Underwhelming. Krampus had so much potential, but it falls short. Firstly, it's not funny or scary. I laughed once and I was never scared or creeped out.

Seriously the first hour of this film is cliche family holiday drama. Oh shit we have to spend time with our shitty in-laws once a year.

So after the unfunny in-law drama finally ends, chaos…

I was already aware that Michael Dougherty's Krampus was going to be a huge disappointment in the first 15-minutes when we're introduced to the lame caricatures who were going to make up the core cast of uninspired Christmas Vacation knock-offs (poor Toni Collette, it's not you, it's the script, but I wasn't really buying the on-screen relationship with Adam Scott either).

I'm not sure if my expectations were too high or what, but when settling in to watch a movie called Krampus, was I wrong to expect KRAMPUS & not cartoonish killer gingerbread cookies and a jack-in-the-box? Maybe it boils down to the forced family friendly atmosphere molded for a PG-13 film, but for a movie that wants to be, at…

Evet film bitti komik olmaya çalışsa komik olabilcek, korkutmaya çalışsa orjinal korku karakterleri çıkarabilcek olan bu film hepsini yapıyım derken hiç birini yapamıyor çok iyi karakterler vardı aslında akılda kalabilcek yatırım yapılabilcek..... 2 tane şaka çok iyiydi hayat pantolunu çıkarıp üzerinize geldiğğinde ne yapıcağını çok iyi bilirim ve isa da ahır da doğdu onlara bayıldım filmdeki diğer olan her şeyi yaklaşık 94 saat 20 dk sonra unutucam. Ha bir de kurabiye canavarları unutmıcam çok tatlılardı :D
