Review of Krampus (2015) by Mrwitzelsucht — 14 Dec 2018
This film has become a Xmas tradition now in my household and I happily watch it a few times each December.
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation meets Gremlins levels of horror when the Xmas Spirit dies for one family...as do they!
This is mild horror, with some great practical SFX on show. We get demonic toys, evil gingerbread men, nighmarish elves and a creepy as heck Krampus squeezing down the chimney.
No blood or gore. Not any jump scares from what I remember. The horror of being trapped in a house with relatives you hate is enough to keep this going. The cast are all great, giving you equal reason to hate them AND sympathise with them. A fantastic addition to the "Xmas Horror" subgenre.
