Description

When his dysfunctional family clashes over the holidays, young Max 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. Featuring an ensemble cast that includes Adam Scott (TV’s Parks and Recreation), Toni Collette (Little Miss Sunshine), Allison Tolman (TV's Fargo) and David Koechner (Anchorman), this is a wonderfully dark and subversive "must-¬see film." –WEGOTTHISCOVERED.COM

The fact we care at all about the outcome is a testament to the actors, and only the actors. But buried beneath the Christmas clutter is a much better movie.

It has enough personality and ambition that it could easily become an annual tradition for those who prefer "Silent Night, Deadly Night" to "It's a Wonderful Life."

Although there are some amusing moments here and there and a couple of nicely effective scary bits, it is never quite as darkly funny nor as frightening as it would like to be ...

The movie sends mixed messages. It's hard, but gooey, too. Trick 'r Treat showed that Dougherty has a mean streak (with wit), but with Krampus, he's clearly been charged with delivering a wide-appeal PG-13 film.

Too many obnoxious relatives, evil critters and weak gags at the expense of fat kids and foul-mouthed old ladies.

Lurches between treacle and terror as it stumbles toward a too-easy ending.

If you love Gremlins but don't feel like rewatching Gremlins, consider Krampus a worthwhile diet caffeine-free alternative.

We get some cheap gags about fat inlaws and nasty cousins; then Krampus arrives and suddenly it's all straight scares about psycho elves. The two moods never combine.

Krampus isn't especially scary, but it generates goodwill nonetheless for treating its home-invasion-for-the-holidays setup with an appreciably straight face.
Hollywood Reporter

While the violent sequences are very effectively staged, the results are a strange hybrid that doesn't quite work.
New York Post

This very capable cast has absolutely no wit to work with in a screenplay co-written by Dougherty.

Not that scary but Krampus and his murderous gingerbread men are fun. Watch after losing your own Christmas Spirit: when you've run out of sellotape while wrapping presents and then realise someone's eaten all the purple ones out of the Quality Street.

Krampus is a film that will be added to my list of Christmas movies I have to watch every year. It ties in old traditions with how the holidays are today.

The final result is, though certainly flawed, could become an annual viewing pleasure for the more demented Christmas lover.

What draws a family together better than being menaced by an unrelenting demon from Alpine folklore? Nothing, that's what.

Its ideas are fresh-but the execution, so to speak, leaves a few things to be desired.

Krampus actually gets darker as the movie progresses, ending on a note left open to interpretations either jovial or depressing, depending on your viewpoint

It's deviously satirical, entertaining, fun and - best of all - brisk.

If it weren't for Koechner blustering about with his rifle and the gingerbread men finding a nail gun, this film would be about as bland as a month-old fruitcake.
