How sad is this?

Good movie but grossly overrated

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

This film is not a sequel to other Krampus films. The story centers on Zoe Eliza Weaver (Amelia Haberman), foster child in Arizona. Her mother Katie Hoelzer (Carrie Fee) gets $500 a month to care for Zoe, "the blond haired devil child" and does a bad job. Zoe has the power to unleash the Krampus who punishes bad people and does. Rachel Stewart (Monica Engesser) is a child psychologist who becomes fascinated with Zoe. Rachel was memory flashbacks in bad dreams about the Krampus.This is your typical 80's style horror film, some horror, some nudity, and a twist. Good movie if you like that type of production.William "Bill" Connor plays both the bartender and the Krampus.Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Monica Engesser, Carrie Fee both- sex and shower)

You know it's been a while since I cried. This movie changed that. But these were not tears of joy or even sadness. These were tears of WTF. The acting was enough to make me want the Krampus to get me instead. That raises another issue in the movie. Who the f*** says "Kram-puss" it's "Krum-pus". Even the second way of pronouncing it may be debatable but it's definitely not Kram-puss. The camera work reminded me of a home made movie I would make with my friends in my backyard at the age of 12, and I would think it was really good. The scenes were so bad and cringey I was laughing the entire time because it was so unbelievably stupid. The detective's bald melon head was shinier and brighter than my future. I mean dear God, it was like staring into the sun. The little girl was just annoying. And not to mention her initial foster parents, the druggie and the weird car washer...wtf. The only scenes they were in were totally unnecessary and all I could see was the bouncing of boobs and trust me even the horniest of the straight guys would be overwhelmed. I don't know who the dipshit is who gave this movie a 9, but I think they need to re-evaluate their life and seek professional help. The Krampus himself looked like he was made of cardboard. A 6 year old cosplayer could do better. This entire disgrace of a movie deserves to be burned for it's crimes against the eyes of everyone who's had the misfortune of seeing it. To wrap this up, I can only say, don't. If you have ever loved yourself or anyone you may be wanting to watch this with, just don't. No one deserves to have to watch this. Now if you'll excuse me I have to wash the shame off my eyeballs.

Sometimes you get lucky with small budget films and you get something cheesy but good in a cheesy way. Take Silent Night, Deadly Night back in the day. Sometimes, you have to settle for friends or untried actors with a not-too-good script, a not-too good director and a god-awful sound mixer and editor.This is, sadly, one of the latter. The timing was slow, the scenes had a lot of long pauses as if they were hoping that would make the movie long enough to be useful with waaay too little script. The leads were unbelievable, unlikeable, with no reason to cheer for them, and in all honesty, the little kids probably did the best acting in the movie. And as other's mentioned, the movie just suddenly wrapped-up really quickly and you don't even care about the ending since you never liked the leads in the first place.That popping/crackling soundtrack is always a sign of a bad movie. You can hear it often in another clunker "The Eaters". I've seen student films and Youtube videos using DSLR cameras that were shot better, sounded better, written better, acted better, directed better, edited better, and were, in general, just better.

Well, the only good thing about the movie is the story line but don't let that fool you. First of all, the acting - mmmm no acting at all in this film. I starting laughing when she (the Psychiatrist) walks into the hospital and speaks with the reception. Not sure what happened there but that lady sitting behind the desk just didn't seem comfortable with her 2 minutes of screen time.All the actors seemed to be robotic, in slow motion and even when they walked, it wasn't realistic. The whole feel of the film wasn't realistic. The conversation between the people dragged out and so slow, I was getting nervous and began shouting at the screen for them to hurry up and finish their dialogue. Certain scenes didn't make sense either. One scene where a woman starts to cry over her husband. Here we were to think he died recently. She starts to overact with her tears, sobbing like a crazed woman when we find out he has been dead for around 20 years!The young girl, I think she thought she was ideal for the role. At times she did a not too bad scene but again, not good enough to make me believe her character.The effects were nothing great - made for television effects and Krampus himself, looked good in the dark shots but when you saw him whole and in the light, well, you be the judge.
