Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Muilisx In short, this movie is bad. I stopped watching pretty quickly. Maybe someone might like it but I've seen a ton of movies, and I've never disliked a movie so fast before. It's just dumb how they expose Krampus so quickly and so many times. The way he attacks people or just how the story goes it's just really bad and dumb to me I'm sorry. Just don't waste your time on this movie. I made an account just because I wanted to warn people. I think if they put more time into it, and worked on it a little more it could be better but I don't know just the way they present everything is poor. The acting is also pretty bad. I'm sorry it's just a bad movie. A lot of us work a lot of hours. We barely ever have time for a movie, and when we do we expect the time we finally have to watch a movie for the movie to be worth it. This movie wasted that time of mine, and I just had to let people know how I felt.

bradwhitewolf 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!

This_Really_Sucks Okay, there is one glaring review by someone who gave this movie a 9 and raves about what a great movie it is. And even states that it is far superior to several other Krampus themed movies coming out this year. HHAAA!!! I saw one of the others, "Krampus", in the theater a week ago, and I must tell you it was also absolute trash, but it's an Oscar winner compared to this bucket of movie puke! The fact that this certain 9-star "reviewer" constantly praises the young lead actress and the director leads me to believe that this person is, somehow, tied to this movie (probably the director himself or the father of the actress using an IMDb alias profile).This movie was terrible! Just terrible. It drags on and on and on with very weak dialogue and slow action until a scene finally changes. Sloppy directing and some horrible camera work. I think the director may have taken a home-study course in video production... and flunked out. Here's a little storytelling advice for the director: The sloppy, white-trash, soft-core porn scene in the beginning was TOTALLY unnecessary and a scene like that does not serve to advance the plot. You just put it in there to try to give your horror movie some kind of substance, and probably a couple of friends a chance to be naked in a horror movie. It was like watching a porn video made by some amateur next door neighbors - and not very good looking ones, at that. So next time (God help us if there is one) skip that kind of garbage. It doesn't add validity to your horror movie, it only serves as a sign of weak storytelling.And stop lingering with your scenes. They just drag on. Build some tension. And for God's sake, spring for some kind of real creature makeup effects instead of a lo-res, poorly animated monster. The burnt remains of his victims were more convincing than Krampus himself. And by the way, his name is pronounced Krum-poohs, not Kram-pus. "Kram-pus" sounds too much like "Gramps" and it just really doesn't invoke any level of fear. Do your research before your write or direct a movie.The young lead actress is nothing to behold, just another face in a crowd of 1000's of hopefuls. I know we all want to encourage young talent, but come on, Mr. IMDb Alias, her acting was not that great. I've seen better acting on Nick Jr. sitcoms.And the guy playing the lead detective... wow. Did he take acting lessons from Ferris Bueller's Economics teacher? You know, the guy who just droned "Bueller, Bueller" for an eternity? There was absolutely no level of excitement in this guy's voice whatsoever. He sounded like he had a perpetual taking-a-dump kind of grunt to every word he mumbled. Christian Bale did it better as Batman.Well, in closing, if you're considering watching this, I'd suggest you just skip this piece of garbage and thank heavens you weren't a part of its production. Or you could do your very own MST3k episode with it.

hampton061 As an independent film, this is a very enjoyable horror film with a surprising performance by a child actress who plays Zoe. She does a very good job and helps make the film. This film should not be viewed and compared to high budget Industry sponsored horror films. Remember this is an independent film and as a viewer of independent films I understand this film was created with local talent and with a limited budget but it is still better than most independent films. The storyline was there and if you let yourself get into the movie with the lights off you will find yourself jumping out of your seat during the scary scenes then laughing at yourself for how the director got you.The Director did a great job and I have read some reviews by "movie critics" who tear the film apart with little if any positive statements. I never found movie critics to be a credible source of movie reviews. I'm not a critic. I'm just a guy who likes to watch independent films and ignore the professional critics. In short, this is a fun film to watch.Take note, this film is bound to be a cult classic and owning your own copy should be your goal if you are a collector. This film has something special within it. As a collector I notice that this film has an emerging upcoming director, a new child actress who will soon jump from the independent films industry to main stream high budget industry entertainment and I feel the writer, like many writers, has a yet to be written blockbuster script. That is why I feel this film is the beginning of three major film icons yet to be discovered (A Director, an Actress and a Writer). In five years you will come back to this review and say, "Wow, he was right" Then you will kick yourself for not acquiring an original copy of the film.It is interesting to note that this year there have been three Krampus films released in November and December of 2015. One by William Shatner which I find to be more of a comedy based on its previews, then there is the second Krampus film I found to be more about a spoiled boy who hates the world. "Krampus the Reckoning" is better than the other two and is a true Holiday Horror Film. A great stocking stuffer,
