I've been going through a stint of textbook depression for the past couple of days (emptiness, lack of motivation, insecurity, tiredness). I felt like I had no interest in movies and it was a horrible feeling and I felt trapped. It was literally a chore to get my ass in the theatre and see this at 10:25. For the entire film after the first 10 minutes, I cried nonstop. This is what I needed. I love movies so much.
you better watch out, you better watch out! you better watch out!! you BETTER WATCH OUT!!! YOU BETTER WATCH OUT-

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…
holy hell with hooves,
this film makes me appreciative
of having been raised jewish.
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. The visuals are great though; Krampus looks pretty fucking awesome and so do all of his little minion things. The build up before the chaos ensues takes ages! 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. You don't give a shit about hardly any of the characters either; they're all dicks. I was actually sitting there hoping Krampus and his minions would finish these people off. So after the unfunny in-law drama finally ends, chaos…
Slow start, strong finish. Krampus doesn't perfectly thread the needle at being both a comedy and horror, but when enough gimmicks are in play there's a great sense of fun and thrills. Not a classic, but the practical special effects and fantastic cast forge a lot of novelty.
Expected to hate this. Big budget horror ain't my thing, but this was actually good fun
Krampus suffers with tone, being too silly to be a horror, and too grisly to be a comedy. Thankfully, it manages to get most of the way through as a hybrid of the two, with some jaw dropping animatronics and practical effects earning it big brownie points.
National lampoon's Christmas vacation meets Goosebumps meets The Mist
Not bad... not bad at all
A true "horror" Christmas movie
For a movie that sucked so bad man was this one fun.
Seriously there's some weirdness to this one, the tone is all over the map. That said, the horror elements are here and they're effective, for a while. Think a comedy version of Poltergeist and you basically nailed it. Ending is great.
Lightweight horror delivers an apocalyptic Christmas dinner to a dysfunctional family, with all the trimmings.
