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 ...

The writing was awful. The writers don't seem to have a grasp on how conversations work, how children speak, or how a person in any specific profession would speak. It only took me the first few lines to realize this. At that point, I almost gave up on the whole movie but kept watching, hoping it would improve. The writers continued to disappoint throughout the film. Example: Why would a child psychiatrist say she was with the police? It makes no sense for the character to introduce herself as anything other than what she was. The acting was not good. The actors'deliveries of lines were unconvincing and interaction between characters was inorganic. Costume and makeup were also a problem. The psychiatrist had WAY too much makeup that made her look like a hooker rather than a professional. Every time she got out of bed, I swear she was wearing a different outfit than the one she was wearing when she got INTO bed. The costumes of the police officers looked like they came from a Halloween store. Continuing the topic of aesthetics, the CGI of Krampus was unimpressive, lacking color, and not even close to realistic. It looks like it was created by an unpaid college intern. While I'm on the topic of tech, I should also mention that the film editing was awkward. Some of the transitions between scenes were strange, and short, unnecessary scenes were kept in that didn't help move the plot. The story line was interesting but the end was disappointing, confusing, and left a lot of questions unanswered for seemingly no reason. This could have been a great movie if anyone involved had any talent, whatsoever. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

This movie made Plan 9 From Outer Space, look like an Academy Award winner. Slow, dull acting (if you can call it that). Very few chills, and hardly any screen time for the actual Krampus himself. We found this movie at Walmart, and being interested, and somewhat knowledgeable of the Krampus legend, and character,and having enjoyed the actual Krampus Movie, I had hopes that this might be a descent film. Boy! Were we ever wrong. My wife walked out of the room after the first 10 minutes, and I remained to suffer through it, in hopes that there might be something to this movie that I would like or appreciate, but I was wrong. All of the cast members were unknowns, and must have been standing by an underpass with a "Will work for food" sign, or they just worked for coffee and cigarettes. Dreadful movie to be avoided at ALL costs!

OK , to start out , i gave this movie 3 stars just because of the story. I really enjoyed it , so if it was a book i would have gave a way higher grade.The acting : I don't get how they can act that bad! Like in the first plot , when the psychologist went to the hospital they were staring at each other for like 2 minutes doing nothing. FOR GOD SAKE DON'T DO THAT!Second of all , why on earth would you add a PORN scene at the start of the movie??? And then ANOTHER ONE! God , please stop. Then the guy that was burned because of having child porn... OK , you lost me on that one. Really unnecessary , i mean you could have expanded the main story or something , but that one was not at its place.Overall , DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!The story was OK-ish , but the rest... god please , i only watched it because i thought it would get better...
