Thanks to inspired creature effects, strong performances and a perfect balance between laughs and scares, Krampus deserves to become a perennial Christmas horror classic.

Absolutely Amazing! I'm at a loss for words regarding why people dislike this movie so much. It's insane! Krampus might not be a masterpiece the way Trick 'r Treat is, but it sure ain't that far off. 9/10 - Superb!

Not a Christmas classic but an enjoyably creepy monster movie with a great cast. Maybe its time we all started believing in Santa again before Krampus calls like an unwanted guest and ensnares us in his wintry claws.

Couldn't really seem to enjoy this one. The humor just doesn't hit the mark and although the visual effects are very well done, the movie is not scary, nor funny. It was quite the let down.

This would probably be much more enjoyable to watch during the Christmas season. The Krampus monster design is amazing and many of the other creatures are absolutely warped, especially the one that swallows children. Aside from that, "Krampus" was kind of a bummer. The dysfunctional family was straight out of "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", minus Chevy Chase and minus the laughs. If this was trying to be funny, it wasn't. It also wasn't…
