The journey for a good Krampus movie is an ongoing holiday tradition in my house. The big budget Krampus movie is worth watching, which I do pretty much every year.
And then there are so many atrocious Krampus movies with the worst acting and an even worse CGI Krampus. They are all terrible and not even watchable in a Sharknado type of way.
BUT-Now we finally have a Krampus in a rubber suit! It's a pretty good looking rubber suit, all things considered. But to be honest, it could be terrible and I would still like it better than the CGI Krampus. Krampuses. Krampi?
Is this movie cheap and bad? Well, yes. But is it garbage? Well...no.
I actually sort of enjoyed the characters in a high school play type of way. And yes, I liked Krampus. He talks in this one. And no, his mouth doesn't move. Lol. And when the camera zooms in on his hands, you can see the jiggly rubber suit in hd.
So does that sound like something you want to watch? If it does, you will enjoy this Krampus more than any of the last 15 or so since the big budget Krampus from 2015. And that film is a PG-13 film, whereas this one at least has syrupy blood and not the worst character conflict I've ever seen. In fact, at one point I was sort of caught off guard when someone interrupted the movie and I found myself backing it up by a couple of minutes so I could hear the characters' conversation. Yeah, I actually did that. Unironically.
So skip the hordes of pretender Krampus movies, and if you only watch one Krampus version this holiday season...
Well, honestly, in that case Krampus (2015).
But if you have seen that one a bunch of times or are in the mood for two (!) Krampus movies this holiday season....
Check this one out.
I kind of liked it.
