Thanks to inspired creature effects, strong performances and a perfect balance between laughs and scares, Krampus deserves to become a perennial Christmas horror classic.

Absolutely Amazing! I'm at a loss for words regarding why people dislike this movie so much. It's insane! Krampus might not be a masterpiece the way Trick 'r Treat is, but it sure ain't that far off. 9/10 - Superb!

Not a Christmas classic but an enjoyably creepy monster movie with a great cast. Maybe its time we all started believing in Santa again before Krampus calls like an unwanted guest and ensnares us in his wintry claws.

Couldn't really seem to enjoy this one. The humor just doesn't hit the mark and although the visual effects are very well done, the movie is not scary, nor funny. It was quite the let down.

The film itself is still incredibly entertaining from beginning to end with amazing set of characters, great creature design, and outstanding set pieces. However, I didn't notice anything in The Naughty Cut and still has PG-13 feel to it. It does look good but so does the regular blu.

this is one of the best christmas movie i have ever seen. A different way to look at christmas and the end shocked me!

Pretty sure its one of the shittiest movies ive ever seen, wasnt scary, wasnt funny, just sucked. Period. Not worth watching.

Hah this was awesome! Haven't enjoyed a good christmas horror in a long time. Loved the traditional effects really well done.

I was really looking forward to this and Michael Dougherty, did not disappoint! It switches from comedy to horror but also has a great Christmassy feeling to it. The creature effects are awesome and overall it's just a lot of fun. Will definitely be watching this every Christmas from now on :)

I was so ready for some fun and over-the-top horror stuff, but damn was I bored for 2/3rds of the film. The first part is a long introduction to the cast that I did not really care about at all. I might have if they were written with good character traits and interesting interaction, but all they did was say something really mediocre and done a thousand times. I maybe chuckled internally once or twice.

Then the violence started and I was hoping for it all to get much more entertaining. But, again, nope. It took the movie until the very end to show the cool look and design of the monsters, so we only get to experience those suckers briefly. And these parents are terrible. Hey, my son was snagged away from me. Oh well, I give up immediately.

I guess that sums me up. I gave up pretty quickly into the run time. Positive stuff though, would be the design for sure. Also, the animated sequence towards the end was great. But all in all, nothing made me feel like I was suddenly switched to interested.

I watch this every December, so it’s enjoyable enough to be a holiday staple. However it’s almost two hours and only like 30 minutes of it actually has anything interesting happening.

But it definitely has a classic “Christmas movie” vibe so worth the watch if you’re looking for something both cozy and spooky.

Dunno what this was about, watched it at a funeral wake lmaooo

This would probably be much more enjoyable to watch during the Christmas season. The Krampus monster design is amazing and many of the other creatures are absolutely warped, especially the one that swallows children. Aside from that, "Krampus" was kind of a bummer.

The dysfunctional family was straight out of "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", minus Chevy Chase and minus the laughs. If this was trying to be funny, it wasn't. It also wasn't scary or even heartwarming. So what's it for? It was a little odd but not off-kilter enough to be memorable in that way. When I got up off the couch, I just shrugged my shoulders and moved on to something else. I didn't love it and didn't hate it. Just 'meh'.

Terror knows a new name in the holiday horror film Krampus. When a young boy loses his faith in Santa and family the evil daemon Krampus is summoned, who, along with his minions, terrorize the boy’s family and steals them away to his lair in the underworld. It’s an interesting take on the legend of Krampus, but the storytelling is a little weak; as it shows its hand, becoming a predictable “cabin-in-the-woods” scenario. Still, it has some scary moments, and the character designs are truly frightening (though there are times when the puppetry isn’t very good). Yet while it doesn’t completely work, Krampus delivers a frightful vision that’s full of chills.

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Krampus is coming
FOR YOU

‘Krampus’ is so beautifully shot that certain shots, even years later, have been stuck in my head. The colours perfectly fit the holiday despite the unfortunate terror that lies ahead for this family. One of the longest nights of Christmas eve. The sound work as well is really detailed and rich, which is something I didn’t expect.

Still, it’s a goofy horror movie that doesn’t quite stand next to the greats, in terms of other Christmas movies, but am weirdly drawn to horror movies set around Christmas, because surely nothing bad can happen on Christmas.

Interesting horror flick with plenty of visual treats for fantasy lovers, but fails to address some loose and vague plot points.

Streamed via Hulu (FXM)

Finally! This film got recommended a lot so I've always wanted to check it out! This is my second horror comedy with Adam Scott in it. I really enjoyed it on my first viewing. It's a creepy and heartfelt modern holiday horror to watch with entire family and a lot darker than I expected. It has great storyline, great sound design, terrifying monsters, cool animation, killer special effects, good scares, perfect amount of camp, what's not to like? Not as amazing as _A Chirstmas Carol_ but good enough. One thing that makes me wonder is why did the Grandma speak German if she could speak English the whole time.
