Krampus Unleashed (2016)

Please don't waste your time on this one. Acting is sub par, filming angles are bad. This is just a low budget movie that should have never been made. But hey, you have to start somewhere right? I only hope the makers of this film learned some lessons and will not make another waste of time. The plot is not well written, so the story is hard to follow. The dialog seems forced and not well written. Some of the actors need to be given another chance while others should just go back to their day jobs. And why make another "Krampus" movie when one with a bigger budget was made the year before? This is just a bad move business wise. The special effects are special needs. I cannot stress to you that this movie is bad. I wasted $2.50 at a Red Box site and I wish I could get a refund.

Fmovies: I wouldn't waste your time on this. The budget was so low that they just couldn't make it good if they wanted too. All the special effects are laughable and you just can't help but ask yourself WTF?

I can't even begin to explain how awful this movie really is. There is nothing redeemable about this movie. The graphics were subpar, the writing was lazy and predictable, there was no time spent at all on building a decent plot line, the acting was cringe worthy (and that's putting it nicely)...I seriously could go on and on. Honestly, the director, producers, writers, and actors should never be allowed to be apart of a movie ever again. They put no thought in it at all. Their targeted audience was obviously drunks and rednecks who would enjoy watching a shiny penny. Krampus Unleashed did a terrible disservice to the horror genre and I regret wasting my time watching this mess.

Krampus Unleashed fmovies. I love horror movies, and have been trying to start watching movies that aren't super main stream. I figured streaming services suggested it to me, so let me give it a go. The video quality and camera work isn't bad at all. I actually give that two thumbs up. However, every single character in this movie overacts almost everything. They made all the characters way larger than life, which instantly takes away from the possibility of it being real. I also feel the staging of this movie is very "just out of directors school."

I actually think with a different cast and director this movie could have been decent. I mean... it's just a bad horror movie. If you like those; give it a go!

Heading out to her parents' house, a woman and her family visiting for Christmas learn her son has uncovered a mystic stone rumored to summon the ravenous being Krampus, and as a strange series of murders occur they realize they've called it forth and must rely on a previous victim to stop it.

This one wasn't all that bad of an effort. One of the stronger features here is the rather intriguing and enjoyable setup that this one plays with throughout here. The opening set up in the Old West where the hunters come across the remains of the buried treasure from the outlaw that left it behind and find the stone that summons the creature leads into the creature attacking them starts this off on a fine route while also setting the stage for the rules to follow. Showing the significance of the rock as well as the means of summoning the creature at this point allows a great chance to figure out the importance of the family finding the rock and what it means later on. There's also the incredibly fun and over-the-top brutality with the creature's kills. Not only are the excessively brutal and graphic kills the best overall aspect here, there's tons of fun here as the high-energy sequences keep this one moving along. From the attack on the hunters who keep hearing it get closer to the appearance at the boyfriends' house that leads to the encounter with the family and the resulting chases through the woods, this one has a lot of great creature action. Alongside a great Krampus costume that's all practical, these here are what work for the film. This one does have a few issues. The biggest problem here is the series of utterly unlikeable characters that make it hard to get into the film's first half. There's absolutely nothing about the secondary family that's intriguing about them, mainly coming from an inattentive, sleazy jerk that talks back to everyone, spends half the time complaining about the lack of expected amenities and the rest buried on his phone looking at sleazy pictures of his family. That his mother has no say in the matter to his attitude as she's too concerned with the meet up at the house going well and the ad is an ineffectual, spineless loser that makes him go unchecked for the entire movie, giving this a real tough act to overcome. The other problem here is the film's lacking production values that are somewhat obvious to ignore and overcome. It's mostly apparent in the outdoor scenes where it's incredibly hard to tell what's happening due to the lack of lighting, while the main failing with this is the finale which is over so fast it seemed to rush by with no chance to do any kind of suspense as if they ran out of money to do everything they wanted. As well, the series of useless padding here, from the stop off at the gas station, showing everyone sitting around watching TV or the foreplay with the neighbor and her boyfriend that's spread out over several segments feels like they're included mainly to beef up a simple story they had no money to film. These here are the film's main flaws.
