I could go on and on about how bad this movie was. The acting was a dollar budget and the actors probably cost less. For example; "Parents get mauled by Krampus and little boy sits and watches, no emotion." Or, "Mom's face gets smashed in the dashboard. Angry, smoking teenager gets out and is mad at dad. Gets out of car and punches dad. Then walks away and doesn't care that dad get's head peeled off and arm ripped off. Laughs at a rock because it's just funny?" I really looked forward to watching this. But at the end I couldn't believe how bad this movie really was. My dad and I couldn't stop talking about how bad this movie is. We just loved the "great" acting. Really, probably the best I've ever seen. No, obviously don't watch this trash. I came across this on HuLu. Don't waste your hard-earned money on this movie and don't waste nearly 2 hours on it either. Here is the nicest way I can say it, it's low-budget, crappy acting, one person produced, directed and wrote this movie, the plot was terribly written and so was the dialogue. Don't waste your time.

Krampus Unleashed (2016) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a group of treasure hunters who accidentally unearth Krampus instead of the gold they're looking for. Krampus stays dormant a few years after being discovered until he eventually begins a killing spree. Can the local towns people find a way to stop him? This movie is directed by Robert Conway (Exit to Hell) and stars Amelia Brantley (True Nightmares), Tim Sauer (Skinwalker), Daniel Link (Wish Man), Tori Glawe Osborn (The Dead Beats) and Owen Conway (The System). The storyline, acting and writing in this is pretty bad. The dialogue definitely could have been better written and executed. Krampus honestly kind of looks like a troll with horns. The kill are actually pretty good and there's some good gore, blood splatters and props. I will say I've seen worse Krampus movies. Overall this movie isn't good; however, it's worth watching once if you're a Krampus fan. I'd score this a 3/10 and only recommend watching it with the appropriate expectations.

Krampus unleashed is a very good movie. It has a pretty interesting story and a lot of victims with crazy brutality. Krampus finally looks like a real devil. At first I wondered where the snow was, but then I found out that they were going to Grandma's in the desert. 9/10 just because it doesn't have such a Christmas atmosphere but there is definitely something very Christmas there (Christmas tree, decorations, cramps) I recommend the film even though it has such a stupid rating.

Truly unbeliever that every single actor in this 'film' is beyond bad . I really believe you could grab a group of people off the street , give them two hours training and they would do a better job. Oh and the movie is lazy in it's writing , editing, pacing , effects , direction and even sound work .

This is director Robert Conway's second Krampus horror movie. His first was Krampus The Reckoning, which I thought was better than most people gave it credit for, despite a really bad CGI monster and very little in the way of gore. This time around, Conway has gone for practical effects for his creature and ramped up the splatter, but the rest of the film is total trash, with a laughable plot, unlikeable characters, and terrible acting. In a way, I admire Conway's no-nonsense approach this time around - this was never intended to be high art... it's just there to entertain fans of schlock (which explains the messy FX, courtesy of Marcus Koch, and the gratuitous nudity from Amelia Brantley). Brantley plays Bonnie Tyler (no, not THE Bonnie Tyler), one of a group of people targeted by a rampant Krampus on Christmas Eve, the monster awakened after a 'summoning stone' (it's all explained in the prologue) is discovered in a creek by youngster Tommy (Bryson Holl). Unconcerned with who has been naughty and who has been nice, Krampus dismembers, decapitates, and eviscerates numerous victims, leaving a handful of survivors to try and defeat the monster by burying it alive. From the godawful opening version of 'Let It Snow', to the extremely rushed ending topped off by the ridiculous appearance of a baby Krampus (who chows down on irritating teen Troy, better late than never), Krampus Unleashed is z-grade nonsense all the way, which, for many, will mean it's virtually unwatchable. Once again, I think it's more enjoyable than the mostly 1/10 reviews suggest - not vastly so, I grant you, but still worth a go if you enjoy low-brow horror with plenty of blood and guts. 4.5/10, rounded up to 5 for IMDb.

The first time I heard about Krampus was a special episode of the Venture Brothers and then he found his way on American Dad. Now everyone acts like this is a mainstream thing, when it is just something to tell naughty children in Germany or some country. It was not a worldwide thing and that it has gotten so big is just stupid, it doesn't even look scary. Honestly, the country where naughty children are eaten by a large cat is more terrifying than the whole Krampus story. This one, does not really do the whole Krampus punishing naughty children. It is more Krampus as a wild out of control killing machine, so while it was bad, it was fun to watch as I got to make fun of it with my wife. The story has some guys digging up treasure on a very unspecific date in time. They find a rock buried in a chest and it unleashes Krampus upon them! Years later a family is making their way to a Christmas family gathering. The daughter has a rather nice family and the brother has a rather obnoxious family, but forget that, the dynamics of the two families is kind of wasted once Krampus comes out as he kills everyone! Good, bad and grandma! They try to escape this being that walks around eating people, ripping heads off and bonking two rednecks to death...good thing too, as they were annoying. Wish they killed Troy a lot sooner. The kills are pretty funny, the cast horrible and all you are waiting for is the super obnoxious Troy to get his throughout the film! Too bad it is at the end in a scene that makes absolutely no sense as the camera angles suck and what Troy is looking at is dreadfully unclear. So, this movie is rather bad and another film trying to bring Krampus alive. This one just had the basic look down, which is that of some strange goat monster. This one looked like a goat monster wearing a bath rug from the 70's. The characters have lots of pointless exchanges as they have to pad this film out, as that scene where the two redneck guys talking about killing bigfoot just kept going and going! It is a fun movie to make fun of, but not a good horror film in any other way except a few good kills.

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?

A family stumbles upon an ancient rock in the Arizona desert of all places, which houses the German Christmas demon, Krampus. There is a much-too-long cut scene at the beginning of the movie which explains how the ancient rock got there, but it is not a very creative or interesting introduction to the film. One of the children awakens Krampus from the ancient stone, who then chases the family about in the poor graphics style of a bad B role film, before the survivors figure out a way to trap him in a mine at the end. Oh, and for really no actual reason, a baby version of Krampus pops out of the dirt at the end and eats a guy. I watched the entire Krampus franchise, and must say this was the second-worst of them all, with Krampus Origins being the absolute worst. Those two seem to be made by the same people, in a sort-of similar universe since both of these stories take place in Arizona. This one had better graphics and a bit better of story than Krampus Origins did, but both are pretty bad, and me being a huge fan of B movies, when I say a B movie is bad, I mean it's bad. The badness of this movie is not even slightly redeemed by the character Bonnie, the hot neighbor, whose only important scene seemed to be the one in which she is naked in the hot tub with her boyfriend. There isn't really even any substantial comedic value from the movie like you sometimes find in B movies except for the totally unrelated appearance of baby krampus at the end, and no gratuitous over-the-top ridiculous violence or death either, but there was a semblance of an attempt, and for that they get credit. Two stars. Don't bother unless you seriously have nothing else to do.

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. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Brief Nudity and children-in-jeopardy.
