When his dysfunctional family clashes over the holidays, young Max (Emjay Anthony) is disillusioned and turns his back on Christmas. Little does he know, this lack of festive spirit has unleashed the wrath of Krampus: a demonic force of ancient evil intent on punishing non-believers. All hell breaks loose as beloved holiday icons take on a monstrous life of their own, laying siege to the fractured family's home and forcing them to fight for each other if they hope to survive.
Reviewers notes humbly submitted: 1. I have seen odder movies, check my reviews, but I have never seen such an odd movie with A-list production values, SFX and casting.
2. The opening title sequence is one of the best I have ever seen. Do they give Oscars for that? If they did, it would win.
3. The next 10 minutes after the titles is very X-Mas with the Kranks and actually funny and engaging. THEY SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH THAT THEME.
4. The rest of the movie is very Gremlins and Tremors and not very engaging or very entertaining or very anything. Just odd. Very very odd.
What a waste of resources that could have been used to make a better movie!
