Krampus

Have you heard of the ancient European folk creature known as the Krampus, a horned beast who terrorizes naughty children during Christmastime? If you haven’t, don’t worry; this movie will fill you in. Christmas is the most magical time of the year, but when Krampus is involved, it turns into a twisted, nightmarish hell. Back in 2015, Krampus starring Adam Scott and Toni Collette came into our lives and forever changed how we viewed the “naughty or nice” list.

The story of Krampus has been told many times, but this movie follows a dysfunctional modern family. The youngest child loses his holiday spirit, which brings out Krampus from the dark trenches to wreak havoc on his loved ones. The family bands together to stop Krampus, which is a heartwarming counter to all the terror.

Krampus is available to stream/buy/rent through various platforms.
