Do you believe in Santa? Well, if you believe
in him or not you can believe Krampus is coming to town this time. Now let’s
begin the review!
(SPOILER
ALERT)
The movie is about a boy and his family
losing the Christmas spirit. Later in the movie it’s revealed that the
grandmother Omi once lost the Christmas spirit.
This summoned Krampus who killed her village
including her family but left her alive. Krampus gave her an ornament like
object and left.
The same thing happened to Max who is the
only survivor of his family. He goes on a mission to save his kidnapped family
and succeeds with his family losing the memory of Krampus.
The movie left off on a very odd scene of Max
getting the ornament like object as a Christmas present. But that’s only a part
of the movie.
When it comes to scares honestly it gave me
the creeps. The thought of Gingerbread cookies coming to life and trying to
kill you made me scared of my mom’s cookies.
There were many odd monsters such as what I
call a clown caterpillar that eats you whole. It also had a teddy bear with
actually bear teeth and claws. Elves that used sharp weapons and captured
people.
Although there is many more creatures those
were my favorite. Krampus himself was definitely the scariest. He had black
eyes and horns like a got with feet like one too. He wore black and moved
slowly.
Krampus wasn’t in the movies as long as his
minions but got plenty of screen time. The movie over all was pretty scary but
honestly I have seen scarier things in a kids show.
For a movie about the shadow of Santa who
kidnaps and kills people who lose the Christmas spirit I think they can do way
better.
For this movie I give it a 6 out of 10.
Seriously jump scares and ginger bread cookies aren’t going to scare someone
enough to keep them up at night. I’ve seen better horror movies but this isn’t
absolutely awful.
So Santa’s shadow bring it up a notch and
bring in the real scares!
